Can anyone help me? Turned the car on this morning and some of the lights are staying lit. I have ABS, BRAKE, TCS OFF, SLIP all staying on but no Service Engine Soon Light. Car seems to be driving and braking fine.

When I try to turn TCS back on with the button nothing happens, lights stay lit. Brake fluid is not low.

??????????

 

What about brake pads?

Done any other brake related work recently?

Take it to dealer - they can put it on the computer to tell exactly what the problem is.

 

Front brake Pads are low and rotors are original.

Found that thread as well. I'll start with the pads and rotors and see if that cures it.

Thanks.

 

Low pads can cause problems. Rotors not so much.

 

It worked, new front pads and rotors, all the lights turned off. I also bled the brakes for good measure.

 

Same lights came back on today.

ABS BRAKE TCS OFF SLIP

Still no Service engine soon light, so that's good.

Now there is a loud noise coming from the brake master cylinder/controller area. I had to disconnect the battery to get it to stop whining. Even sitting in the garage with the key of there was a mechanical whine.

 

Its probably a bad ABS pump or a ABS sensor thats going bad, the TCS, ABS, SLIP is all reads from the ABS sensor. The whine is probably the sound from the ABS pump.

 

Same thing is exactly wrong with mine, come to find out I need a new ABS pump.... Took to nissan they said 1600 for pump and labor... Screw that

 

In the 5 years i been here at Performance Nissan we havent ever replace one of those ABS pumps, i dont think its terribly common for those to go bad. Id double check to be sure, that's alot of dough to be dropping.

 

WTF...

I haven't touched the car in two weeks.

Eddie please do double check, can you find out how expensive the pump is?

 

PM me your vin# so i can get the accurate part# and cost, there is like 11 diff ones that pull up.

 

Update:

I ended up having to replace my ABS controler/pump this week and indeed it was the problem.

I had to take it to the dealership and have them scan the ABS system, I'm told the ABS unit would not even respond to the scan.

For the part alone I was quoted over $1000 plus tax from my dealership.

THANK YOU Eddie at Performance Nissan, he was able to save me a substantial amount of money on this part, although I will warn you this is still a very expensive piece of hardware.

Labor was over $300 including installing, scaning, fluid and tax.

First autocross is this Sunday, I'll give it a good thrashing and see if problems return, but I think it's fixed.

 

Thanks for the big ups It was a pleasure doing business with you, let me know if you ever need anything else. Again, thank you!

 

Oh man I just had ABS, Brake, VDC OFF & Slip come on this morning. Hopefully won't take long to fix.

 

Weird got car back. Dealer diagnosis was that my ABS cable was loose. They tested fuses/electrical and a loose cable was the cause. Not sure why it got loose in the 1st place :X

 

Hmm i have vdc/slip/abs lights on at moment out of nowhere. Turn car off/on at stop light-goes away,then comes back on. brake fluid is OK. Aftermarket big brake kit but pads seem OK. Kinda wires I'll check last post below when I get home and see if that is the culprit.

 

How would low brake pads cause this issue?

 

i know this is old but hoping i can get some info
Im hoping this is the issue with mine!!! i dont want to replace the abs pump. what happened with mine was weird...
..i had bc coils ran fine no problems. switched out the coils for kw v3s and took it for a spin ran fine, all 4 lights came on as soon as i gunned it. went home turned it off, then turned it on n lights were off. went for another spin and all lights came on again. this time for good...i did notice the abs cable was a little tight (not enough play) but didnt think that would cause a problem. reading this i hope thats the issue.

in addition i read about the different wheel/tire sizes could be the problem but lights were on before i switched wheels.

 

Does the dealer charge for this?

 

The dealer will charge you for looking at them funny.
