AWD Error

In 2014, the G37 Sedan became Infiniti Q50. G37 Coupe and Convertible became Infiniti Q60 under Infiniti's new naming structure - Here's the place to discuss the Q50 and Q60!

Attached picture says it all. Just came on this morning on way to a doctor's appointment. Persisted on way back home. Saw a post about this occurring on someones Rogue and it was indicated that perhaps it is a dirty/faulty wheel speed sensor. Just curious if anyone's seen this on a 2016 Q50 RS, and what the cause might be if something other than the speed sensor. Also, would there be any harm in continuing to drive with this? I have a 150 mile trip planned tomorrow morning, coming back on Sunday. Appreciate any feedback.

The question is, are the slip and ABS lamps the result of an AWD problem, or is the AWD disabling itself because of an ABS problem? It could be either one, and you really won't know without getting the codes read. "Safe" is a relative thing, at the very least you'll be driving a vehicle whose VDC and ABS systems may not work if you get into a close situation.

Seems to be a number of different errors which could be ABS sensors. In my '14 AWD it was whining about an AWD overheating issue and that was an ABS sensor as well. I've not had the issue with my Q60. Personally I would not drive it if you didn't have to, just in case there is something wrong with the AWD.

Was able to finally get the car to the dealer today. Came back with the right rear ABS sensor being bad. $506 for the part plus 310 for labor and it was fixed, for all of 15 miles. Same lights came back on half way home and it's back to RWD only. Taking it back in tomorrow morning. :( Hoping it was just a faulty replacement part, otherwise who knows how expensive this might get trying to figure it out!
