I got in my car tonight to go home from a friend house and my ABS light was on.
I drove the car today with no problems and no light. I stayed at my friends
house for about 2 hours and went to drive home and the light was on? any idea
what this could be? what should I do to get this solved? do I need to take it
in to nissan? or can my normal mechanic take care of this?

Check the brake system to see that the pads are not worn out. Next, go
and purchase Ford High Performance Break Fluid from a Ford Dealership
and bleed the brakes. This is DOT3 conventional brake fluid and has
twice the boiling point of other fluid. I use it on the Maxima and my
Corvette. The brakes are probably fine but the fluid is dirty and it is
setting the code. I would bleed the brakes first and then go from there.

this car is a 2001 but it only has 25k miles on it. still think this should eb
the case. I really doubt the pads are wown, and I doubt even less the break
fluid is bad, what do ya think? I'm kind of a novie when it comes to cars but I
know a little bit about them.
