brysawn Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 The car is a 1997 Legacy AWD EJ22 5-speed Earlier today I took my rear discs off (along with a bunch of other parts) in order to get my new longer wheel studs installed. Everything went in and back together well, except now my ABS light is on. I did have to unbolt my ABS ring in order to reinstall the new studs, but it never came off the car (because to reinstall the hub/bearings they have to be pressed). Why is it on? Is the ABS ring orientated a specific way? I looked it over and it looked the same any direction. What could the issue be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattocs Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 (edited) The sensor that reads the tone ring is a magnet that attracts flakes of rusty metal. Try cleaning them off. Could you possibly have damaged the sensor? For me, when I had ABS tone ring issues, my ABS would kick in every time I hit the brakes.

nipper Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 Tone rings break easily when disturbed, and not uncommon to break on something as simple as this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
