05 Altima, brake light and battery light on

Hi, brake light and battery light on. Battery and alternator been checked at autozone but still could be bad. When one light is on the other is on, sometimes both go off. If you drive it enough the it will not rev up in drive just idle. It will rev up in P and N and will shift in to drive. If you charge the battery it will will work properly again. Any suggestions.

    yup, you have alternator issue, or charging issue. could be wiring also. but prime suspect is an alternator.

You may need an alternator.Once battery voltage goes low enough the brake warning light can come on warning you the battery voltage is too low for the brake system to work properly. The bat light is warning you there is a problem with the charging circuit,most likely the alternator.

SOURCE: 05 Altima, car will not go when the accelerator is pressed

Does you car engine speed up when you hit the accelerator when the car is in park or nuetral? If it does then it may be computer problem. If it does not then it sounds like a accelerator cable is disconnected.

Have you had the battery and alternator checked yet? If not, you should. It may be that the control units connected to the CAN aren't being supplied the correct voltage(too low) to operate properly.

CAN COMMUNICATION
System Description
CAN (Controller Area Network) is a serial communication line for real time application. It is an on-vehicle multiplex communication line with high data communication speed and excellent error detection ability. Many electronic control units are equipped onto a vehicle, and each control unit shares information and links with other control units during operation (not independent). In CAN communication, control units are connected with 2 communication lines (CAN H line, CAN L line) allowing a high rate of information transmission with less wiring.
Each control unit transmits/receives data but selectively reads required data only.

2. IPDM E/R E121

SOURCE: Nissan Wont hold a charge

Hi. this is defiantly a slow or major drain that is occurring within this vehicle. Here is a test that you can preform that will help you find this battery drain so you can illuminate this issue.



--BATTERY DRAINAGE TEST PROCEDURE--


Using a 12-volt test light, hook one end to the negative battery post the other end to the negative battery cable you just disconnected. The test light will glow or "light" if there is a drain. If the "light or glow" is faint, that is probably normal draw for the clock or computer. If the "light or glow" is bright, then there is a large drain. That should be corrected. Now start removing and replacing the fuses one by one until the light goes out; that one will be the circuit with the drain. Remember to hold in the button in the door jam for the interior lights.


Please rate and god bless:)

Battery & Brake light on After replacing broken Alternator,had battery checked @ AutoZone,battery checked out fine..Battery & Brake light comes on After driving 5 miles or more what could be the prob?

Try to get Alternator tested even new have faults, otherwise you must have got the wires mixed up when fitting the Alternator, That is my only thoughts. hope it may help. Cheers, Malcolm Campbell

My Nissan Altima 97's Emergency brake light and battery light coming on while driving this afternoon. But I didn't feel any other abnormal things. I cleaned the battery cable connection with W-40 and...

Battery light means the alternator is not charging so if you keep driving it eventually the battery will die. The brake light may be on if the emergency brake lever is pulled even a little bit.

Brake and battery lights stay on

when both lights stay on with the car running it usually indicates an alternator that is not charging at an acceptable voltage level. check the battery voltage with the car running, if it is under 13.5V you should replace your alternator.
