ABS Light
I was driving yesterday and I noticed my ABS light came on. When I parked the car, I turned it off and then started it again the and light didnt come back on. And last night I started the car and the ABS light didnt come on. I drove for about 2 miles and then the light came back on.
? any imput ?

This may sound stupid, but are you using different-sized tires anywhere? This could throw off the ABS sensor. I remember using my doughnut with my 18's and the ABS light would come on every time I hit 50 (the speed limit of the spare). Also, you could have a bad ABS sensor, or one dying.

Ehhh...I don't know about the whole tire/wheel size causing it. Many people on here have bigger tire/wheel size combos and the ABS light is a rarity. I know the dealer can test each individual sensor. There may be a laymen's test in the FSM without using the Consult II that you might want to check out.
Wait...do you have a FSM for your Maxima? You should if you don't have one...they are invaluable.

I had the same problem. Somedays the light would come on and somedays it wouldnt. Eventually my traction lights and my ABS light came on and stayed on, that's when I knew I had to get something fix. One of my ABS sensors from the rear went out or something like that. I took it to the dealer and they were able to fix it for about $200..

Well, what I was talking about specifically was a major difference in tire sizes on the same axle. I've had my 18's for several months now with no ABS light. I did get an ABS light with the doughnut on the back right and a 225/45/18 on the back left, due to (I'm assuming) a large enough difference in each wheel's speed of rotation, which is what causes ABS to shut itself off.

Someone has all the FSM's hosted on a website.. you shouldn't have to pay for it. I'm not sure who - but pay $20 to use the search function and see if you can find the thread witht he link. The $20 will pay for itself
