The passenger side unit bearing went out in my daughter’s 2007 Nissan Xterra several months ago and I replaced it with a Moog unit. A month or so later, the driver side went and I replaced it with a Moog and replaced the rotors and brakes pads on both sides. Since then, the ABS, VDC Off and Slip lights stay on. It doesn’t perform a check at start up, just constantly stays on. I don’t believe the driver side unit bearing is bad but could be wrong. Any suggestions before I swap it out for a new one?

Yeah those sensors, at least on the jeeps, just stick through the hub like a little plug and can be jarred loose. You poke em back in.
OP
I unplugged the harness and the pins look fine. I do have the original harness that I may swap in and see if that works. Is there a way to reset the light since it doesn’t seem to be checking at the moment?
I know less than nothing about ABS brakes but I had a truck once that the light came on and all I had to do was disconnect the battery and reconnect to get it to go out.
All I know of is a scan tool capable of reading Asia ABS
OP
I have not been able to read the codes since I can’t find anyone with a tool that works on a Nissan
Edit: found a shop by my office that “specializes” in imports. I will stop by there tomorrow

Then its time to pay da man. Find you a decent shop and get it diagnosed at a minimum.
Diagnostic fee is a lot cheaper than $5000 scan tool or a lot of wasted time and effort at guessing.
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news
Not unless you buy a crap-on scanner and get screwed on it....paid nearly three times that for mine.

Love my OTC Encore. Sadly, just a tad over 5g's with an annual fee of $1500 yearly for current up dates that come a few times a year.
Ah so glad I went HD diesel and the place I works provides factory scan tool...
