Bump! Any help?

 

Have your battery checked that may be the problem.

As for the 4wd not engaging check your axles too to see if one of them popped out.

 

check your wheel speed sensors... i had the same problem after a rear bearing got hot and fried the thing

 

Your 4wd will not engage if your truck thinks it is slipping; there is a good chance that something got fouled up with one of your ABS/VSS censors. If you are still within warranty Nissan can test the censors for you free of charge. If not, Discount tire, as well as others I am sure, have a device that can tell you if the censors are getting a signal or not...it won't tell you anything else, but at least you might be able to rule out the censors.

If you need a rear censor I think I may have a few extra, let me know.

 

your talking the rear wheel speed sensor?..... if so send me a pm...

 

Thanks guys! The warranty just ran out on the truck so yeah... gonna check out who can scan it.

 

Major issue is the speed sensor, had that before. On every car I owned hahah Simple $60 will fix it. If it ISNT that, check if the 4x4 actuator isnt frozen up or something.

 

took my truck to the snow and got pulled out due to the ABS light on. How embarassing... Big truck gettin' stuck. Faulty ABS rear driver side sensor bad, Replaced at the dealer for about $100 bucks and now it works. If you can find out which one it is, replace it yourself and save you $50 bucks.

 

Gotcha. So by all the responses it seems like it could be the sensor for the ABS or speed. Someone mind telling me where these are located?

Thanks for all the good responses guys!

 

It's the ABS speed sensor. My truck was having the same problem. Get the truck scanned so you know what ones need to be replaced. I changed mine, and it fixed the 4 wheel drive problem too.

 

My Drivers left went out due to the lift. They said it stretched out the line. But i agree JT72 find out which one is not working so you can replace it yourself. The dealer charges too much for you to do it yourself.

 

Where's the cheapest place to get on the Right Front sensor?

 

Your best bet is the stealership.

 

yea... i think the dealer is the only place you can get it... and it is a simple fix... one 8mm(i think?) bolt above the axle right behind the disk break shield, follow the line up and there is a plug that needs to be disconnected and reinstall the new one...

 

Sweet, I found out that it's my left rear sensor. Now to find one... thanks a lot guys for all the help.

 

This is one of the reasons I joined this site. I could’ve written this same question. Never would have tied the ABS to the 4X4 but I guess it makes sense as a protection feature.

 

Is there anywhere else I can get the censor checked? I have the same problem.

 

I just put a different rearend in mine over the weekend and having the same prob. Should have been easier on the sensors when pulling them out.

Good info here. Now just need to figure out which one is bad.

 

I went to a brake repair shop. The got scanners there to check sensors. Best of luck to ya.

 

Had the same problem with my 2004 Nissan Titan and they had to change the transfer case under warranty. I have had NOTHING but problems with my Titan and now at 76,000 miles it is falling apart. Nissan has been to no help what so ever....this is my 5th Nissan and my LAST Nissan ever.

 

I recently just spoke with a Lemon Lawyer and he had nothing nice to say about the Titans and won ALL of his cases. Also, Nissan USA pays for settlement so nothing out of your pocket. I think i might take him up on his offer. I feel the same way as you do. Let me know if you want his number.

 

my titan is a pile of sh!t too. Ive had nothing but problems with it. Day I bought it, im towing a trailer and the exhaust manifold blew out due to a clogged cat, 4 grand at nissan for news cats and manifold and fuel pump, then rear axle bearing took a dump and melted my sensors and ruined the axle, it sat in shop for 3 weeks trying to find an axle, now the 4x4 doesnt work.... Im trying to get it fixed so i can sell it. Kinda sucks because I got the windows tinted with visors, painted the wheels black, volant intake, true trac, PRG lift, made it my own thinking it would be a decent truck and I would have it for a while.... sucks,


anyone know why my 4x4 might not be engaging? I have no ABS OR SLIP light on???
