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...

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
    • Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
