Hi! This is my first time posting in this forum. The CVT transmission went out in my wife's 2011 Rogue. We were able to track down a very nice used one locally with very few miles. My broth in law got the used transmission swapped with very little problems at all. However, not that its down and we are test driving it, the ABS light comes on and the front right brake seems to want to apple itself. After letting it cycles through this a few times everything is fine and the vehicle drives and shifts and brakes just fine. Is there some sort of flash that needs done on the ABS or the CVT control module when replaced? Its really baffling us. Does anyone have any ideas on this for us?
Thanks!
Matt
2011 Rogue replaced transmission, ABS light now

Sorry for the typos. Wasn't on a real computer when I posted this. But the brakes are applying themselves, not "apple"ing themselves... Ha!

Is your abs light currently on? If its not then all should be good.
It sounds like the it is.
Did your brother remove one or more of the axles during transmission replacement?
Nissan has what I consider a poorly thought out placement of their front wheel speed sensors. If you have to remove the axle or hub for any reason. Wheel bearing, transmission replacement, cv boot or whatever, you must first remove the wheel speed sensor. One 10mm bolt. Sounds easy right? Well any wheel speed sensor I have ever removed up north here that is more than two years old has to be hammered out in pieces.
Nissan placed their wheel speed sensors between the hub and a thin metal plate forming a valley that the sensors projects into about a half inch. Pulling the hub/axle without removing the sensor distorts the thin metal plate. Replacing the hub/axle further distorts the thin plate as it is dragged over the sensor during both removal and reinstallation. And if you drive the vehicle with the plate out of round it will eat the end right off the wheel speed sensor. The plate can be reformed and flattened back to its original shape. The sensor is history.
Rockauto.com has the sensors for about $70 each. Ouch. Air-tec wells or something like that. Those are the cheapest and seem to work. Some are twice as much.
I put a small amount of neversieze on my new sensors in an attempt to keep them from melding to the hub. That's the first time I've ever tried that, I don't know if it will work, time will tell.
