06 QX ABS malfunction
06 QX ABS malfunction
Went driving the other day and I had ABS brake like come on. As soon as i touched the brakes they would start to pulsate. Has anyone had a prob with ABS sensors going bad?? Weather was clear and dry although I did drive 5 hours on a highway in a straight downpour a few days prior. As soon as i shut off and restart engine it's back to normal. Its happened a few times since but seems to have gone away. I'm thinking one of my ABS sensors has gone bad. Brake pads and rotors have less than 1K on them.

I have not heard of that being a problem in the QX56 or the Armada (or Titan). I am sure it is an isolated case, get it to the dealer, probably is still under warranty.

Actually its not an isolated issue. My Titan does it occassionally. Not a big deal and I haven't had time to take it in. I'll eventually take it in when I get a chance, but even in situations when I can't turn off the engine and turn it back on, it activates the ABS system everytime you use the brakes. Modulating requires a bit more thought, but its not impossible.
The fix is relatively easy (for the dealer). They simply need to reprogram the ABS computer. Its actually in a TSB; NTB06-040 for the 04-06 Titan/Armada. Not sure if they issued a TSB on the QX56, but I'd imagine all the hardware was the same so its likely they did with the same procedure.
I tried to attach a copy of the TSB, but its too big. Email me if you want a copy...

Can you please send a copy of the TBS to [email protected]? I am having the same problem with my 2006 QX56, but she's already out of warranty (61,900 miles). It has only happened like twice, but I'm afraid it might happen when my wife is driving it and she freaks out!
