BigMike Posted December 1, 2003 Share Posted December 1, 2003 Hah ive made the first post!!!!!!!!! i own!!! ok, getting to the post. Well ive been having problems with the ABS and brake light comming on and off. It used to only happen when I made right turns and U-Turns. They both come on and eventualy go off a few feet down the road, but the other night it came on and still hasnt gone off even though the parking/emergency brake is off and all the way down. Any one got any thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blizzardking Posted December 1, 2003 Share Posted December 1, 2003 Wow this sounds just like a question I aswered not to long ago. Not sure if it was you or not but here goes. First thing is you have to get those brakes checked. Because I have dealt with this problem before on the Bus fleet maintanence I managed, here are some suggestions. First when that brake light comes on its eighter the parking break sensor or its preasure related. You could be loosing hydraulic brake preasure. Possibly a leak. Now in dealing with the abs light It could eighter be a ABS sensor or the ABS motor itself. You say it happens when you turn at times, have you checked the Brake fluid level. Never had this problem on my pathy though. Good luck............ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mookie Posted December 1, 2003 Share Posted December 1, 2003 Yes, start with making sure your brake fluid is topped off. If it's coming on during corners, this seems to make sense. Let us know how it turns out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigMike Posted December 1, 2003 Author Share Posted December 1, 2003 Well it was the fluid i topped it off this morning and to my avail it didnt turn on any more. the reason i wondered is because i had above minimum brake fluid. i just didnt want it to be serious. and good thing it wasnt. _________________ Max- ---------------------- Min- _________________ looked like this.

GAC Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 I just bought my first Pathfinder a 1991 SE-V6. The Anti-Lock brakes light never comes on, it this normal? Shouldn't it light up when I turn the key to ON before starting the vehicle? Any help is greatly appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

speedbuggy67 Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 my abs light is on all the time i'd guess its my rear sensor on the rear. Im not a fan of abs anyway so whatever. yankin the bulb or electrical tape over the abs light works! Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
