2016 Maxima ABS and traction control light on.

I have a 2016 maxima sv the traction and abs light came on today while driving. I seen in a forum on here that it could be brake fluid. Well I checked that and it was full. Didn’t see many other possible issues. Anybody know what else this could be besides brake fluid? ( only has 88,000 miles )

Only been happening for the last few days. And only seems to happen when breaking. Took it to the shop and there are no codes? Any thoughts would be appreciated !

Try to check brake light switch for adjustment or failure. Located above brake pedal

Since it only happens when braking, is it possible you have a bad speed sensor?

Not sure yet. Seems im going to have to take to Nissan.

Been sporadic since the start.

Sometimes i start it back up and she is fine. Sometimes i have to wait it out. Its pretty annoying at this moment.

im going to list the symptoms again because i forgot one:

Out of nowhere after hitting the break car goes into limp. Traction light on first followed by abs

Limp to a safe spot........

car is running fine but cannot roll windows up or down. (Like battery is dead)

Turn car off

Sometimes, starts back up no probelem. Others it seems like battery is on last leg

if latter.... wait 20 minutes, start her up and go


Btw. Thank you all for your ideas. Any and all are appreciated!
