05 renault trafic

Post by bathroom-man »

i have just had my renault trafic back from service & new wishbones and front wheel bearings but now the ABS warning light has come on in the dash, could this be down to the bearings/wishbone work that has just been done :cb

I'd take it right back if I was you.

They might of disturbed one of the ABS sensors, or not re-connected it properly!

If it wasn't illuminated before and it is now, then it is clearly something that they have done.

I know some garages that make a killing doing this type of thing, you go one week with one problem and then a week later something else goes wrong !

Probably a missaligned sensor, or damaged ring whist putting it back together after the wheel bearings.
