The VDC off button only changes the link to the steering, it will still kill your power for a moment if tires lose traction. Could you have lost traction just enough to make it use ABS or throttle down as a response? Sometimes the SLIP light doesn't show for real small spins.
Most serious engine codes will make the ECM quit sending an RPM signal to the CANbus, which in turn makes the ABS throw a C1130 and quit running the VDC. The C1130 will be derivative, it can just be erased after the engine problem is resolved and the ABS/slip lamps will go out. That sort of "intermittent crap-out" is most often from a bad cam or crank sensor, so hopefully you'll be back on the road without too much expense.
That was my suspicion from living on the forums.VStar650CL wrote: ↑Fri Jan 14, 2022 6:42 pmThat sort of "intermittent crap-out" is most often from a bad cam or crank sensor, so hopefully you'll be back on the road without too much expense.
Thanks!VStar650CL wrote: ↑Fri Jan 14, 2022 9:09 pmWell, stay away from the Zone, but Hitachi, NTK and Denso make most of Nissan's OE Hall sensors, so they're all acceptable substitutes provided they're genuine. You want to avoid China-cheap and be aware of counterfeits, so known-reputable vendors like RockAuto are a much better idea than eBay.
This tells us what the markups are at the dealer, since Hitachi is the OEM part and Rock auto also has them marked up a bit.TooMuchControl wrote: ↑Sat Jan 15, 2022 8:46 pmInteresting problem, with dead result.
Good that at least a solid code came in on this.
I'm surprised at the cost of these from Nissan ~100USD.
Rockauto HITACHI CPS0008/CPS0005 ~40USD is much more reasonable. OE Part as well!
Glad it gets sorted!
