Default someone had the VDC,ABS,SLIP light on dash board on, PLEASE HELP!!!

Hi guys i know that some people had this problem on their Z.

I got the VDC off, SLIP, ABS light Stays ON all the time. Then the Emergency Brake Sometimes turned on.

Also i have installed a LCD screen(Nesa, which uses the same LCD as Farenheit 7001) with VDO Dayton Sat Nav.

Brought it to the dealer to ask them to fix it and they said the problem caused by my LCD!!!! They believe my LCD has Fried the ABS Control Pumps Unit. Therefore my car is VOID warranty and have to pay US$3000 to replace the damn thing.


Can anyone please tell me what is the problem on their Z that has the Similar Problem? Or My Nissan dealer is trying to avoid my warranty to replace the ABS Control Pump Module?

P.S: The light Stayed ON since i got the car, because of my mistake for thinking just the faulty light on the Dash Board. So i didn't call them and Inform of the Problem on the first Week i got the Z because of my Excitement

The Dealer told me that, this problem is very rare in Australia. So i'm not sure if i'm the only one that had this problem

Btw i just went through and read the Reseting ECU stuff. Which i haven't done to my Z. Do you think that will fix the problem? I think the Dealer trying to rob me.

Cheers

Sounds very rare only because they're trying to get out of doing the work. Thats shady...

How can an LCD...fry anything that deals with the ABS system. Theres lots of people that install LCD's that don't fry a thing, they need to come up with a better excuse. Have you called Nissan?

I had the exact same problem. Check the fuse for your brake lights. That was my problem, bad fuse.

Finally everything sorted. Just got a call from my Dealer and they told me the Nissan will cover and replace the ABS Control pump Unit for free of charge I'm so happy about this now
