A few months ago the ABS, Brake, Traction Control and Slip Light all would come on when the car was started. After some research I replaced the rear ABS sensors and that stopped the lights from coming on. However, what is happening since then is when I start driving the slip light starts flashing and the car goes into limp mode and does not accelerate or do anything. If I turn off traction control, the care drives fine with no issues. I posted the issue on a couple of Maxima forums but nobody had any ideas or suggestions. I don't want to keep guessing and putting in new and possibly unnecessary parts. Any ideas or suggestions. Thanks for your help!!

It may not be getting an accurate reading causing the traction control to apply brakes during acceleration. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional. rond310 New User Dec 5, 2011, 2:01 PM Post #3 of 4 (6907 views) Re: Slip Light Flashing Sign In I replaced the two rear sensors already with new ones. There was a Nissan service bulletin about the right rear but after replacing that one I had the same lights come on. The lights went off at start up after replacing the left rear also. I never touched the front wheel sensors. I was thinking of taking the front sensors out and trying to clean them first and maybe blowing some compressed air into the sensor holes to clean it out. Can I spray brake cleaner in the opening or on the sensor to clean or would that be bad. Also, the brake does not get applied when the slip light starts flashing. The car is just unresponsive and cannot accelerate or anything. I believe that is called limp or safety mode for Nissan.

You need a professional scan tool with ABS software to look at the data to find the problem. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional.   Email This Post   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
