Here's the story: I hit a pair of potholes (2 in a row) and I instinctively hit the brakes to slow down-- albeit a little late. I felt the ABS kick in as the car pounded the potholes. Then the ABS, TCS Off, and SLIP lights came on and stayed on.
When I shut the car off and re-started it 5 minutes later, the lights did not come back on... for a while. I drove for a couple minutes and noticed that they were all illuminated again. They haven't gone away since that first time that I shut off the car.
Anyone have this happen before or know how to resolve this issue?

I'd say go to an Autozone or O'Reily's and have your computer reset. Happened to me once before and the reset seemed to do the trick.

I believe the problem with my I30 (2001) is the same or similar as yours - after my wife hit the right front wheel on the curb (I don't know about the intensity as she chose to be vague), the ABS, TCS Off, and SLIP lights all came up and refused to leave. My mechanic checked the sendors, not finding anything wrong, and tried to clear the codes without success. Maybe resetting the comptuer will do the trick. I will try. Let keep each other updated about the progress~~
I went to Vato Zone today and when the guy came out to the car with his code reader, I started it and (for the 1st time in days) the lights stayed off. Of course. Anyway, I explained which lights were on and he said the code reader won't do a thing for me anyway-- it's only for the service engine soon light, not ABS or Traction Control.
On the way back to work from Auto Zone, the lights came back on. I was going to try disconnecting the battery overnight next...

Too bad~ I was thinking benefiting from your experience, haha ~~ it's seems not to be so.
General OBDII coder reader will not read ABS etc. codes, let alone killing them. It takes a special kind of industrial code reader to read these codes. My mechanic check my car with THAT reader and it said the right/rear sensor had problem. The check the examined the sensor with some device and didn't find anything wrong, so he tried to kill eliminate the ligths, and they refused to go away.
ya i have the same problem as you guys. first i had the abs problem where it would kick in at random times, i had that fixed it was a wire that had been frayed. cost me 300 bucks.. moving right along i then had the problems where the tcs and slip light would stay on, then i would take it to the mechanic and theyd turn off, and over and over again it does this randomly but will go away sometimes if i try restarting the car. it wasnt till after this i smashed the right front strut and axel so it had alot of work done on it unfortunately the speed sensor tha was said to be causing the problem was "fixed" but it still happens.
Did anyone have any success in fixing this. I have an 01 I30 and all three of these lights came on last week. My mechanic checked all the sensors and said they were all fine. He cannot reset the lights and believes I need a new ABS circuit box. I do not want to pay the $1,500 for this. Anyone have any suggestions?
OK, we now have 4 people with the same problem. Someone else on this board must've had this problem and fixed it. Even if you took it to the dealer, chime in and let us know what the solution was (and how much it cost to fix).
Mine stays off for days now, then comes on for a while, then turns back off. I did figure out that it's not just the lights-- the actual devices aren't working when the lights are on. When they were lit, I hammered the brakes and locked the tires up because the ABS wasn't working. Then I tried punching it from a stoplight and found that the traction control was not functioning either.
I found out that the computer is not giving out any code but the lights are on. There is no way to reset this it without a code is what I am being told. I had all three of these lights on 3 years ago but it turned out to be a speed sensor in the rear wheel. This time, the sensors are all good.
It seems odd that we all have this problem yet no fixes reported. Anyone try unhooking the battery overnight? A friend suggested that to me but I don't know if it is a good idea.
Like yours, my ABS and traction control are not functioning. Is there some glitch with the I30s that I never heard about?
I had the speed sensors and the inductance ring checked yesterday. Everything was apparently working well. The lights just stay on now and I can tell the ABS is not working. MEchanic says that he is not getting any error codes so he believes the ABS Contol Module needs to be replaced. He told me this is rare but sometimes it gets fried. Anyone have any experience with this? Where is the ABS control Module?
I had this happen to my '03 I35 and took it in to the dealership. After replacing the entire dash unit, they found that the problem was the engine mount sensors. They replaced these under warranty as it happened around 40,000 mi. so I am not sure what the cost would be. They had the car for two weeks before they could get it figured out though.
Proud owner of a 2000 Infiniti I30 with nearly 175k miles here. I’ve had some bizarre electrical issues with my car similar to what you’ve reported above (along with a few other – unrelated? – things), it’s a relief to hear I’m not alone with this issue:
- 4 lights on the dash light up: the SES light upon starting, and then the ABS, TCS Off, and SLIP lights come on once I put the car in drive and move forward just a bit. These lights come on, without fail, every time I use the car. The SES error code I got last time I was at AutoZone: P1320 (ignition signal) & P0430 (Catalyst system). This was a couple months back though, so I might need to get it re-checked.
- My rear brake lights are completely off (will not turn on at all) when I set my lights to the “Auto” setting. Brake lights work as normal when turning the headlights on.
- Transmission/gear selector is locked so that most days when I want to move the gear shift from Park to Drive, I have to insert a small key in the SHIFT LOCK. Occasionally this symptom doesn’t persist, but I would say roughly 75% of the time I need to use an object to depress the SHIFT LOCK so I can move the gear selector.
I’ve checked my fuses – all are OK except for the starter fuse (10 amp; "ST"). Bought some replacement fuses at AutoZone, replaced the starter fuse and…I’m still not getting any power to that fuse. So, apparently there’s no issue with the fuse itself (i.e., it’s not blown).
Any thoughts? With as many symptoms as I’ve listed I may have multiple issues… As you can probably tell, I’m no car expert like many of you, and I’m a student so I’m trying to do anything I can myself to save $$. With that being said, electrical issues may be WAY over my head so I may have to just go ahead and bite the bullet. If there’s additional information I can provide, let me know and I’ll do my best to answer them.
So GarageToys,
Have your lights lit up sense fixing the sensor? Mine just went on...
Thanks!
Sorry, I couldn't tell you. I sold my I30 a week or two after I got the sensor fixed. I had to buy something that all 4 kids would fit into... a Tahoe.
Hi,
I have had all 3 lights on my 2001 MAxima SE with no success in either finding a code or finding a way to reset. HAve tried to disconnect the battery overnight, replaced 1 RR sensor which was obviously rusted but still no success. My local mechanic checked recently, and still no codes showing or obvious issues.
Any further idesas woudl be appreciated.
Same problem here on 2001 Anniversary Edition. I don't care if ABS ever works again, just want lights to go out. Removed ABS fuse and the Slip light goes out, but not the others. Is there another fuse that might do the trick?
unfortunately the speed sensor tha was said to be causing the problem was "fixed" but it still happens.
