Latio ABS and Traction Problems

Hi, I'm having a nightmare with my 2007 Nissan Latio diesel. The ABS lamp lights up and I'm experiencing traction problems. It seems like the ABS system has completely failed. Has anyone else had this issue? I've checked the usual things, but I'm not really a mechanic, just very frustrated...

Summary of the thread

A 2007 Nissan Latio is experiencing ABS and traction control issues, with the ABS light illuminated, suggesting a potential system failure. A possible cause identified is a faulty speed sensor, which affects the car's ability to monitor wheel speed and can lead to traction problems. The recommended solution is to have diagnostic codes read at a workshop to confirm the issue, potentially requiring the replacement of the defective control unit.

I had something similar with my Latio. ABS light, traction control going nuts... sounds like a speed sensor fault. Did you get any diagnostic codes read?

Diagnostic codes? No, I haven't done that. Is it something I can check myself, or do I need special equipment? Where's the speed sensor located, and what does it do exactly?

You'll need to get the codes read at a workshop. The speed sensor tells the car how fast each wheel is turning. If the control unit that reads the sensors is defective, that would explain the errors. I had to get the affected control unit replaced.

Thanks! I'll take it to a workshop and have them check the control unit. Sounds like it will be expensive. I've been quoted around 1000€ for the job, but at least it will be fixed!
