Geordie Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 Came off a roundabout the other day in the wet, back end let go, I caught it, no problem. Except that the ESP was turned on and nothing happened when I lost grip - no cutting of power, no light on dashboard. Got it to a gravel car park to see what would happen if I floored it and the rears lit up - ESP did nothing, gravel all over the place. Tried turning it on/off till blue in the face but I cannot make it work. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lomoto Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 sounds normal, the ESP wont make up for everything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H5 Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 Not quite normal! Take it to Nissan and tell them what's happening and see what they say... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M13KYF Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 something wrong somewhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stew Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 Some more info on the car might help to. Age? import or UK? Does the light ever come on? Could it have had the bulb removed as there was a problem etc etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zedrush Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 doesnt sound right to me mate, mine comes on when road is slippery and I try and hoof it, even in the slightest, definatly get it checked, might just be a bulb wear out behind the dash, or might be the esp itself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M13KYF Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 or abs sensors, think it's linked Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris`I Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 Just booting it in the wet should be enough for you to feel the acceleration and then the ESP kick in when starts to slip. Sounds to me like its not working. Try taking it to Nissan and see if they will look at it for free (or at least negotiate a price to hook it up to their computers otherwise they will charge you £30+ just to read the codes) or try and find someone with an OBDII reader and read off any error codes and see what they say Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stew Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 Will the pedal method work for this type of fault???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GIXXERUK Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 what about an ecu reset ? it should default all settings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P15UL T Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 could be an ABS sensor as micky says, ive had a problem with them too, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geordie Posted April 1, 2008 Author Share Posted April 1, 2008 Definetly not just the light. Light and ESP used to come on all the time having fun in the wet. Guess I'll just have to keep the bog roll handy till I can get Nissan to look at it. Will mention the ABS sensor though - so ta for that one.
