Hey, I locked up my brakes in the rain the other night, and ever since, my ABS light stays on constantly :(

I checked the fuses under the bonnet but they are fine. Is there another fuse that might cause this? If not, does anyone know where I should look to diagnose the issue??

Could be a number of things, one of the wheel speed sensors or the ABS module itself u cant really tell unless u have somthing so you can read the trouble code that its logged.

You could try disconnecting the battery for a while say 15mins so make sure so it clears the memory. then see if it comes back after you reconnect it. because it might be a history code, its happened once and hasnt happened again but its kept the light on to tell u somthing has happened.

Wild guess and say its used somthing in the module it dosnt ususall use that may have stuffed up but i thought abs modules usually do a self test as u first drive off every time the car is started, could be wrong. id think that if the wheel speed sensor was stuffed it wouldntve stuffed up just because the abs was used because the wheel speed sensors are used all the time.

PS: make sure u have all the radio codes and stuff before u disconnect the battery. if ur unit has one.

I tried disconnecting battery to reset ecu, but it didnt work unfortunately :)

I'll have to get it checked out by a brake specialist i guess. I doubt anyone will know how to check the sensors etc.

Unfortunately I dont know where the ABS module is either?

Thanks for your help Viper - Ill post up some results once I get it checked out.

when you open the bonnet, your standing in front of the car, look to the right you wil see at the back of the engine bay on the passenger side a box with metal lines coming out, that is the abs module, if you dont have that then you dont have abs.

ABS Module should be in booth of car on shelf to the right of the batt etc.

I have read somewhere that you can do diag from the controler much the same as the ecm with the LED or Chk Eng lamp.

I am having an ABS lamp on now, also from locking my wheels in the loose.

I am about to remove my module to see if the diag can be done. will post the results.

ABS is complex.. if u have a fault code.. dnt just clear it.. take it to nissan and get a check done.. check codes..

so u locked up? maybe ur actuator.. check that u didnt damge ur sensors..? sensors should be in the inside or ur driveshafts on the rear from memory.. best to take to nissan and get an intelligent tester onto it.. check ur whole car over for codes...

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
