Infiniti Q60 ABS Light On? Check This First

What a Steady ABS Light Means on Your Q60

When the ABS warning light stays on continuously in your Infiniti Q60, the ABS control module has logged a fault and disabled the anti-lock braking system. In most cases this is not an immediate brake failure — your conventional brakes still work — but you lose ABS and often stability control assistance. The most common culprit is a wheel speed sensor or its wiring, especially at the front wheels where the harness sees more steering movement and road debris.

What to Check First

• Scan the ABS module for codes: This is the fastest path. A code for one wheel speed sensor circuit will tell you which corner to inspect instead of guessing.
• Wheel speed sensor and tone ring: Look for a dirty, cracked, or damaged sensor, and check the reluctor ring for rust, missing teeth, or debris.
• Wiring and connectors: Inspect the sensor harness for chafing, corroded pins, or a broken wire near the wheel well — very common on older Q60s.
• Brake fluid and ABS module: Low fluid or a module fault can also trigger the light, but these are less likely than a wheel speed sensor issue.

Is It Safe to Keep Driving?

With a steady ABS light and normal brake pedal feel, you can usually drive cautiously to a shop — but treat it as a warning, not a permanent fix. Remember that ABS is disabled, so avoid hard braking, wet roads, gravel, and emergency swerving until it’s repaired. If the red brake warning light is also on, the pedal feels soft or pulsates strangely, or the car pulls while braking, stop driving and have it inspected immediately.
