What causes the anti-skid light to illuminate in the Nissan Patrol?
1 Answers
The anti-skid light illuminates due to sensor malfunction. Sensor failure, or potential navigation interference causing tire slippage, may lead the vehicle to determine possible loss of control. Use a computer to inspect the ABS sensor and clear the fault; resolving the ABS light will turn off the anti-skid light. Below are two possibilities regarding system faults: 1. Only the ABS warning light is on: If only the ABS warning light illuminates while driving, it indicates a fault in the ABS system, but the car can still rely on the conventional braking system. Professional inspection should be sought as soon as possible. 2. Both the ABS warning light and the brake system warning light are on: If both the ABS warning light and the brake system warning light illuminate simultaneously while driving, it indicates faults in both the ABS and brake systems, leading to altered braking characteristics. In the latter case, you must stop driving immediately, check the brake fluid level. If the fluid level is at the "min" mark, do not continue driving and seek professional inspection. If the fluid level is normal, it may indicate an ABS system fault, meaning the ABS regulation function has failed, leaving only the ordinary braking system operational. This can cause the rear wheels to lock up more quickly during braking, leading to skidding. Drive cautiously in this situation and seek repairs as soon as possible.
