Nissan Xterra slip indicator light remains illuminated on Nissan Xterra

Some Nissan Xterra owners report experiencing issues with the slip indicator light remaining illuminated, which may indicate a problem with the vehicle's traction control system. This light is linked to the Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) system, essential for maintaining stability and traction. Common reasons for the slip light staying on include low-traction conditions, wheel slip, brake system issues, and problems with the steering angle sensor. Additionally, if the slip indicator light activates frequently outside of slippery conditions, it may signal a potential system malfunction that requires attention. In some instances, a flat tire or improper tire installation can also cause the slip light to remain on. Owners are advised to have a mechanic scan for error codes related to the ABS/VDC and slip lights to accurately diagnose the issue and facilitate necessary repairs.
