ESC fault light illumination.

[Sundowner2]

My 2012 D40 has its ESC (Electronic Stability Control) fault light showing yet no fault codes are displayed when an OBD device is plugged in....Nissan want $90 - $110 just to check. Anyone had this issue?

Am I really the only one with this problem....I feel so privileged!!

The ecu does not pick up every componant so more than likely you need to have this looked at and pay the bucks.

Possibly a faulty ABS sensor.

Possibly a faulty ABS sensor.

As Rumpig has mentioned, most likely abs sensors.
I've had the light come on twice - both times after going thru super wet boggy sand. I've found that the rears seem to be the culprits..
With a light tapping they seem to come good again.

Fronts are the grey plastic clip on the front strut tower
Rears come out of the drum if memory serves me correctly.

Possibly unclip what you can and use an electrical contact cleaner, shake and reclip together. Otherwise it could be a broken wire ( these wires are very thin and quite fragile)

Thanks guys...I'll check the sensor wires...
