Subaru - ABS Warning light coincidence - Happy Blue!
Just had a new rear bumper fitted to my Subaru Outback, after a bump. I am told that the bumper was painted off the car and then fitted.

My secretary collected the car.

The ABS and Traction Control lights are illuminated permanently and the car seems to ABS brake when slowing from very low speed. What could the body shop people have done; or is it just coincidence?


slight change to subject to include vehicle type....PU

Subaru - ABS Warning light coincidence - Aprilia
Would have to get into rear wheel arch to remove the bumper - possibility of damage to rear ABS sensor wiring?? Whatever the cause, it will have to go back for diagnostics.
