2006 Xterra ‘Slip, VDC OFF, ABS’ lit

It’s my girlfriend’s truck. 140k, no abuse, 2WD, automatic.

We’re far enough along that she and I are good with me taking a stab at it.



Found the brake fluid was a the min mark. Topped that off. No change.

Negative terminal on battery was loose, fixed that. No change.

Seems the brake light switch near the brake pedal is a bit scratchy when exercised by hand, but brake lights work fine. New sw is $30. Have bought that yet.

Power steering level is good.

On my test drives, I verified the ABS is, in fact, NOT working.

I tried the “drive at 10mph for a mile”…twice, no joy.

The front tires are a more aggressive tread than rear, but all 4 are same size. I’d change first. Makes my eye twitch.

This guy compiled many posts from diff threads into this one thread, it covers a lot…

Any of you had this?
