ABS, Slip and TCS light on constantly.

[falulio]

I have all these lights on all the time - dealer tells me its the ABS sensore Rear-Right. Wants to charge me $540 part + labor to do the job, I located part in US for only $132 - Nissan dealership.

Is there other checks that I should do before I buy part? Part cost seems excessive for even Canada - will go US route if onpy way to do.

Also, can;t seem to find a manual online to do the ABS sensor replacement - my Haynes guide skips this area. Thinks dealer should do?

Thanks for the reply, some helpful stuff but my car is a 2001 and many things have changed. I've gone the ALLDATADIY.COM way, cost me but worth it. Only problem is trying to read/clear these codes - I think that no one knows what the correct pins we should be grounding to get the lights blinking. I'll try Nissan direct - I think I'll fix the problem, but won't be able to clear the lights.

2002 Manual is old?... weell, then "won't be able to clear the lights."

Repeat: "Find online manual, see page1 links below." If u cannot do that, then to the stealer$hip.

Thanks and your right about Stealer$hip. They do a simple scan nd charge $50. I'm sure if I fix the problem, they would still charge $50 to clear the codes. I'd be willing to spend $$ on a scanner, but most cheap $300-400 range only do check engine and not ABS/Air Bags? I would have to spend over a $1000 to get that in a scanner - that's just not feasible. Any suggestions on a decent Scanner that provides most nissan codes? I'm very PC savvy and have check out scantool and consultz tool, but as far as I can tell they don't handle ABS?

No need for scanner. Nissan ECU leds tells all, just like Tranny TCU. Also ABS =just read the code... How?? Just get that 2002 manual or login to autozone.com

Ok, I've read the manual and to read the ABS codes I need to
1) Ground terminal "3" of "Data link connector" with a suitable harness.
2) Turn ignition switch "ON" while grounding terminal "8". Do not depress brake pedal. Do not start engine.

I see no wire on terminal '3" - and everthing I read about the pins on the data link connector it says that no wire attaches to it. Am I just reading the manual incorrectly?

oops: I did also now read that 2002 manual and found only consult tester diags; what page youre referring to? hmm, seems I've given you misinfo. Nowadays nissan wants to keep all info...

(Still there are lots single measurements u may do outside the diag.)

Then fastest way is to go and have the diag done; repair uself if problem found.

I don't have the manuals - I've subscribed to Alldatadiy web site and have access to the on-line version - they have no page number. Even still looks like on 2001 GLE there could be some form of self-diagnosis - manual incorrect or I'm not understanding. In any event I will perform the checks to fix problem and then I'm told I could just disconnect the battery, wait 10 mins and the trouble light would be off? I know I need to reset clock/radio, seems simple way to reset. If problem comes back again - its to the dealer I go.

- Yes u have if u click: links on my web page and all over this forum.

- Batt off =reset.

- Dont let stalership rip u off; youre the boss even if they guard their knowhow. Ask prices beforehand and doont pay for any other thing than u agree beforehand. Demand all used parts (theyre yours) - tell u'll give them to u friend for verification. Then theyre on their toes...
