Thank you.

agreed on all counts. Welcome to NICO!

Common problem on other Nissans but very possible on a Q.

[jose310]

So by having the ABS Disconnected would it affect in anyway my front brakes?

[elwesso]

No. thats the short answer.

The long answer: The ABS actuator only does things when the ABS is doing something... in other words, if the ABS isnt pulsing the brakes its doing nothing at all.. So when the ABS light is on, that just means ABS wont work but will not affect the braking.
