I had the ABS/TC/Slip lights come on last Saturday. Used an OBD II scanner and got no relevant codes. Took it to Autozone and they said I definitely needed a new alternator. Checked the fuses which were OK, and then took it to the dealer per the FSM's advice on Monday. Dealer had the car Monday and Tuesday, and said they couldn't figure out what was going on, and consulted with Infiniti. The dealer then said that the relay was not responding to Consult, and charged $349 for diagnosis and replacement of relay. It seems to me that they might have tried replacing the relay after the first hour or so of not being able to figure out what was the problem, which I told them. They charged me the full amount anyway. I did get a "free" loaner, but wish now I had tried replacing the relays myself. I thought a $98 diagnosis would determine the problem, but didn't expect the clock to continue running when they couldn't figure out the relay needed to be replaced. I generally avoid this dealer but didn't want to take a risk on a complicated ABS system.
