Random abs light or is the bodyshop hiding something?

gbae007 · 11-02-2006, 12:36 PM

Here's the story:

I have had my car in the bodyshop for the last month for front end repairs to the bumper, front subframe and hood to fix an accident I was in.

When I go to pickup my car the bodyshop person tells me that they have to postpone my pickup a day because the ABS light came on and they had to take it to Honda to get the light to reset (as they didn't have a OBII scan-guage.)

They claim the the light came on following an alignment and also due to the fact that the battery had been disconnected. But the ABS has nothing to do with the repairs they performed or the fact that the battery had be disconnected.

Do you think the shop did something they are hiding from me or am I being overly skeptical/paranoid.

Discuss.

It's very possible they had to disconnect the ABS unit to make some of the repairs and or remove it to make some of the repairs.

Look how close the ABS unit is to the side of the fender and front of the car.
