I just came back from the dealer and told them that the other day my brake light was on and my brakes are grinding while sitting on the traffic. It happen 3 times in less than 10 minutes and I have to turn off the engine to restart the computer and other gizmos on these %# *^%#* truck. The dealer cant find anything wrong and told me to bring the truck while the brake light is on so they can see it with their computer reader. How can you drive a vehicle in that condition, can anybody give me an intelligent suggestion to my problem? thanks

While standing in traffic, does the grinding noise go away if you apply more force to the brake pedal?

no it doesnt go away even if you push the pedal a little more or pump it, this sounds like the ABS is engaging for no reason. The only time it will stop from grinding & turning off the brake light on my dashboard is when I turn off the engine completeley and start it again....what do you think I have here pal.
thanks

Just a guess but it could be one of the speed sensor, hydraulic control unit or the electronic control unit for your ABS system. Anyone else have any ideas?

I believe it's a software update on the brake control unit. Fairly common on the Armada and has been discussed I believe higher up in this thread.

Had the same problem. There is a TSB out on it. The need to reprogram the ABS module. It takes abou an hour or so.

Thanks for the info guys. BTW if there is a TSB (to reprogram the TSB module) are they going to fix it for free if your are out of warranty? Thanks again............

To all who have had problems with the Armada stalling and losing power, you also cant accelerate, my dealer is very good and helpful and after many weeks in the shop we think we conquered it. We worked through the main airflow filter down to the catalytic converter, inbetween also the airflow manifold also was replaced all seems well now , the mechanic kept the car and kept driving it each time it happened he put it on the computer and fixed the problem that came up reset the computer and drove it again.

To all who read that we have found the answer to the stalling and loss of power problem we have had a reoccurrence and the Armada is back in the shop, the head mechanic who is supposed to be one of the top ones on the east coast said if i cant find the answer Nissan Headquarters will be contacted. I will keep you updated.
