ABS light on

Just curious if anyone else has experienced this before, and what was the outcome in terms of problem. Trying to judge how long I'll have to drive back up car and how much this will drain me. Came on when started up car after work, had a ABS moment two nights ago in the rain but no other indications of issues since. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Is the light still on or it went away? I just had my ABS come on and it was a bad Right Rear ABS sensor. I was washing my rims and I think I went crazy spraying ... or i just died, who knows.
Anyway, the part itself is $135-156 per sensor, depending which dealer you call. Parts/labour to replace is about $315.
ABS sensors are on back order almost everywhere, and nobody has them (JerryRome nissan, DAVEB, CourtesyNissan don't have them). I found one in Pittsburgh. If you need one, there is a dealer in Akron, OH that has some and will ship, as well as Fields Infiniti in Chicago. Infiniti I35 uses the same sensors and part-numbers, so they might have one.
You can EASILY replace it yourself, it is just one bolt and a connector.
Mine got replaced under goodwill by Nissan, although I am out of warranty (2002 MAX with 67K).
Good luck.

ITs still on, thanks for the info I'll try and get a free diagnostic to see which one is blown and sleep with my haynes manual until I can get my hands on a new sensor. Thanks a lot for the reply
