dssenne Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 A mechanic just changed the drivers side axle on my '92 Legacy (2wd), and as soon as I started to drive off the ABS light came one. This is the only time this light has come on. Because of this I have to take the car back tommorow, but before he tries to say it's not his fault, what could likely cause this, given the axle replacement?

lmdew Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 Could be if the new axle did not have the ABS sensor ring or the wires got damaged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lmdew Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 Without it you will not have ABS and the light will be on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're going to replace the ABS sensor, he said it "might" have gotten banged up when they replaced the axle. I searched around on the 'net & found some sites that felt that it's not too uncommon for someone to damage the sensor when working on axles/brakes.

They should fix it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
