Anyone had any experience of this coming on and staying on. Is it a major problem? Ideas of cost to fix??

Question

Do you have an owners manual?
It describes all the symptoms of what a permanent ABS light points to, id look in mine but ive just sold my scoob so i dont have one.
The important bit is where it says take to your subaru dealer soonest though, i think that points out the importance (at a guess its a duff sensor @70+ quid)

Talking of duff sensors. Check to see if the peg has broken off the end of a sensor. Mine did this, think it was a stone that got between the sensor and the pickup ring. £15 from a scrapper!!

Hi mate.


Check taht none of the fuses are blown in the Fuse box inside the car.
There should be 2 separate fuses. Restart the car after refitting to clear the CEL.
