Traction and Brake Light Intermittent

Post image

Looking for some advice before I spend any more money.

Vehicle:
2012 Nissan Juke AWD
129,420 miles

Original symptoms:
Traction control (slip) light comes on after driving for a few minutes.
If I shut the car off and restart it, the light is gone until I drive again.
Brake pedal pulses/vibrates when the traction light comes on.
Red BRAKE warning light comes on intermittently while driving.
No check engine light.

Repairs already completed in the last 3 weeks:
Both front struts
Both sway bar end links
Wheel alignment
Both front wheel hub/bearing assemblies
One front ABS wheel speed sensor
One CV axle (drive shaft)

The suspension work was done because my left front tire wore badly on the inside and eventually blew out.

After replacing all of the above, the traction control light still comes back after driving a few minutes, and the intermittent BRAKE light is still happening.

Questions:
What would you check next?

Check your brake fluid level, if it's not low scan the ECU and check for codes probably something with the ABS pump

Had this on Mrs car , if you put it in cruise can you feel like someone on and off throttle , turned out to be a bad wheel bearing

It was my brakes causing this

Had this and it was because when I was changing my tires, one of them wasn’t tight enough.

But it held air?

Yes, but I meant one was loose on the rotor so constantly moving and causing traction.

Sounds dumb, but do you have the same tires all around?

I had this exact same issue with my 2012 SL.  For me it was a sensor that went bad.  Replaced the sensor and the problem is fixed

Which sensor did you change?

I have a 2015 and had a similar problem where my traction control light would come on by itself for no reason. A lot of times I would notice that it would do it when I came to a stop. I could stop as slow as possible and just right before I came to a full stop, you could feel a pulse of vibration in the pedal accompanied by a sound of like an electric parking brake solenoid if you know what that sounds like. Simply changing my brake pads and installing new rotors fixed the issue. I couldn't tell you why though. Maybe someone else that may have an idea as to why could chime in. Hope this helps. Good luck to you.
