just ABS ? I have the ABS, TCS, and SLIP all on, it is sporadic thou, sometime they are all on, at other times, it was fine... it drives the same thou, did not seem to have any impact on the driving experiences.

My buddy had the same problem and what he did was clean the teeth for the abs and unplugged the battery for a few hours to reset the code and the light has been off ever since, this was 5 to 6 months ago (this also was an another vehicle: a Acura TL so i don't know if it will work) good luck

ABS plus Squealing

My ABS light has been off and on for about a week, had my fluids checked hoping that it would do it even though the manual says the brake light comes on when fluid is low. The light only comes on when I'm accelerating and once I'm into a good coast it goes off, I can feel something through the gas pedal when the ABS comes on, it feels rough then the light comes on. I am also getting that squealing that I always associate with power steering, but I'm not sure it is the power steering. Any clues out there?
Thanks!

TCS, ABS, and SLIP indicators all on

Hey guys,

On a recent visit to Long Island, I hit like a 5 inch asphalt bump that the
road crews thought would add some excitment to an otherwise typical
parkway acceleration lane..... rattled my bones and skipped the CD.

The next morning, the ABS, SLIP, and TCS lights are all on solid.

I checked over the connections to the wheel hub, but all looks good.

Any other ideas on things to check?

thanks,
Don

Check this thread out for ABS, SLIP and TCS light problems: http://forums.maxima.org/showthread.php?t=411031

I'm just hoping SLIP and TCS dont come on for me.....second day without the ABS and hell sqeal though. Maybe it healed itself.
