The ABS, TCS OFF,and SLIP warning lights are on in my 2000 Nissan Maxima. What's the cause and fix?

CANT FIX AT HOME,DEALERSHIP HAS TO FIX.ABS AND TCS SYSTEM HAS TO BE CHECKED WITH SPECIAL DIAGNOSTIC EQUIPMENT.

SOURCE: TCS/SLIP & Check Engine Light Warning

TCS is Traction Control System,and all TCS's are controlled though the Anti Lock Braking (ABS) system.Here's how it works:Each wheel,or in some cases,only the drive wheels have a speed sensor mounted near the hub or axle,and sends a speed signal to the PCM (Powertrain Control Module).The PCM monitors wheel speed continuously,and if it sees a speed out of the ordinary,say for example the right rear tire is spinning and traveling at a much higher speed than the left rear,the PCM will pulse the brakes through the ABS system on the right rear to slow down the right rear so that the left and right wheel speeds match up,this is how the traction control works.So,if you have a TCS problem,the PCM will see this and set a Dignostic Trouble Code (DTC).You need to pull the DTC's out of the system with a scan tool,diagnose and repair the DTC's.It could likely be something as simple as a malfunctioning wheel speed sensor,but you won't know until the codes are pulled out,as this will point in the general direction.Good luck.

Check your brake fluid first. If that is low, top it off and recheck. If its ok, than you will need one of the rear ABS sensors. You will need to plug it in and find out which side it is. That's really the only ABS issue that car has. One of the rear ABS sensors fails.

could be a bad abs sensor on one of the wheels, or it just might be covered with alot of dirt, unable to get a good reading. Also if you replaced anything suspension, breaks, or axle related recently, someone might have messed up the wiring

This wouldn't make the tranny slip. It is making abs kick on when it shouldn't. there is a faulty in the system, most likely abs system causing this. It should be broughten to dealer honestly and I am a mechanic tell you this. It may be bad pump or circuit. I would pull the abs fuse that is in the fuse center under hood most likely. This will prevent abs from locking up on your or quit working on you. Until you get it repaired
