Hello all back again I posted a few months back about my horn and still haven’t found a fix for it (changed clcokspring and battery) so I’ve just given up on that. Well now I have the lights of death on my dash and after running the computer the codes b1081 as well as abs speed wheel sensor right front tire popped up.

My mechanic told me to just replace the right abs wheel speed sensor but wanted to know if this really will make all the lights go away?? No other codes popped up except for the tpms 2 but I’m not too worried about that. I topped off my brake fluid so I know it isn’t that. Could the abs wire make all those lights come on?? Any other advice?? Thanks.

Yes indeed, the wheel speed sensors feed and will affect all those systems. I'd replace it, and let us know how that turns out... don't be surprised if your TPMS light goes away as well. (If it's the tire sensor matching the faulty ABS sensor, that is)

Thanks for your response but I had another question only the right front tire popped up as faulty should I just replace that one only or just replace all four??

You're welcome.

I'd do only the faulty one. They are expensive enough that I wouldn't want to replace perfectly good parts... and the removal/installation is simple enough that you're not gaining any advantages in labor savings doing all at once.

Ok gotcha. Another thing what are your thoughts on the horn blasting non stop when the car is cranked?? My horn won’t stop bowing when the car is cranked I’ve tried everything from changing the clockspring, getting a new battery, Changing the horn relay but nothing works. Do you think maybe the horn itself can be faulty or stuck?? If you’re not sure maybe you can ask someone that you know what could be the cause??

On the other issue, could you link the prior discussion that you said you've had here?... or just post an update in it, it will come to the front page and more people will see it.

I don't really have anyone to ask. When it comes to Infiniti Ms, you guys are all I've got.

Got rid of the abs light by changing the right abs sensor but still have the slip vdc and awd lights on but I know I need new brakes so maybe the issue is there. Also still having an issue with the car grinding or just feels as if the tires are locking up when I first crank up the car. The issue goes away when the slip light comes on (it’s off when I initially start the car) so yea I dunno what’s going on. Gonna check the left side abs or maybe the abs cable I bought might be incompatible.

How about the TPMS?

For your other lights, this link comes to mind:
ras-vdc-slip-steering-angle-sensor-t619955.html
Keep in mind, that member had extra lights because it's a sport model with RAS and AFS.

Last time I scanned my car the tpms code popped up as my front two tpms aren’t reading the tire pressure only the rear ones are. As for the steering angle sensor is that another name for clockspring? If so I recently changed that already and still have the lights. As for my airbag light the code b1081 front right pretensioner open. I’m assuming the cable underneath the seat got knocked loose but it’s a pain to reach under the seat. It’s been awhile since I last scanned my car I’m trying to get it scanned again to hopefully find out all of the problems I have but my mechanic can be quite illusive.

I had an issue about a year ago with a similar combo of those warning lights on. It turned out to be a bad brake light switch under the dash.

Was the car acting strange at all? Braking on its own at all?

No, just the lights.
