ok, so i just mentioned this in a post in another topic, but i want to know if anyone can explain why this happens or has had the same problem. for the last 6 months my abs has been prone to shutting off. and by prone i mean if i flair my tail out with either e-brake or powerslide off abs goes. i think it's awesome when i'm playing cause when i'm messing around in gravel pits i can lock my wheels up completely with my feet, but it has also started happening when i drive hard on pavement now. or even just take a corner hard. i don't really like that. i know that abs is for girls and everything, but it's nice not to have it shutting off when you don't expect it to.

I drive a MY97 Outback Sport

 

i would get that checked out by the dealership...could be a sensor that is worn out...

 

Its off or just off sometimes? Have you felt it kick in at all? If you have not felt it at all, check the fuse/relay.

it only turns off sometimes, the ABS light comes on and the ABS stops working....

 

Is this the infamous ABS pedal-sinking phenomenon? Where you brake over road that is bumpy or gravelly and the brake pedal feels like you'd lost hydraulics?
