ABS/SLIP Lights

So I’m at a loss. The above lights come on at the most inappropriate time, every time. Yes I’ve searched and read pretty much every thread on this and I cannot resolve it.

2008 Pro4X, 137k miles.

I’ve been having intermittent issues with the above. Earlier this year I swapped in two new sensors, dielectric grease and wrapped the connections in electrical tape. Didn’t have an issue for several months.

It seemed like every time one or more of the following happened the lights came on. Temp got below 30 degrees, wet or ice slush roads, after letting the truck idle for 20 plus minutes, or I washed the wheel wells.

In comes fall, colder wetter weather, a little off road to go hunting but nothing heavy. Now two days ago the weather says we’re getting hit with the big one (snow) and the lights come on and stay on.

What I’ve done.

Multimeter test the circuits at all 4 corners. 12v at the connecter, with similar resistance at all 4 corners when unplugged from the system.

Wheel bearings checked by me and my mechanic. All 4 are good.

Ran each line as far as I can see and feel. Every corner at the hubs is new. But as far as I can tell no damage to any of the cables.


The fronts really seem to be my problems children. Usually I can clear the code but today the left front would not clear out. C1103 and C1104. After multiple attempts today to clear the codes C1104 remains.

What am I missing?

In most Nissans, if those lights come on in unison it has to do with brake fluid levels. Have you checked that?

Fluid levels are all good and topped off.
You check the resistance of the ABS wheel speed sensor itself on the front left?

At all 4 corners. They were all very similar according to my multimeter.
Not sure if my previous post regard the same lights coming on and staying on after I replaced my clock spring when my left side radio and bluetooth controls failed but you can certainly try:
1) Crank truck
2) Turn wheels all the way to right and then left a total of three times
3) Drive truck at least 50 feet and the clock spring will automatically reset
Good Luck!

I will give it a try and get back to you. Thanks

Unfortunately that did not work for me. This is the longest time the lights have been on for now.
Ok I changed the sensor and wheel bearing out today after taking it to a shop I trust. I did the work myself though. Everything went pretty smooth. Ran the truck home after working on it at the in laws. Lights are still on. I stopped by autozone on the way home. It’s still showing the left front sensor. Fluids are good. New hun assembly with new sensor. Power to the connection. All brake connectors cleaned, new dielectric grease and put back.

I’m at a complete loss. Drove right across the street to the Nissan dealer. They want $104 an hour just for diagnostics. Does anyone have any new ideas?

05 Titan 300,000 mi. A couple months ago I replaced the front left with new bearing hub that came with new wheel speed sensor installed. Guess which one just failed last week? Yup the new one. Using a BSIDE ESR02 PRO Digital Transistor Inductance MOSFET tester ($30 at amazon or ebay) it shows the "new" one is indeed bad while a couple old ones I had, tested good. My cheap code reader wouldn't read the ABS so I had to get a friend with a Snap-On reader, which pointed us to the Front Left Wheel Speed Sensor. That's the NEW one, which I probably would have tested last since it was the new one. My point is -you can't just trust 'new' stuff to indeed be good anymore.
