2003 Maxima P1800 & C1105 + Grinding Noise
Hey guys, new to Nissans.
i have an ‘03 Maxima when I put it in Drive, it only accelerates a bit then cuts out and bogs down, making some weird grindy noises and the RPMs fluctuate. While this is happening, the SLIP light blinks.
it is intermittent, when it drives normally, the VDS Off Light, SLIP light and ABS light are all illuminated.
i have a P1800 code (I have ordered the VDS control solenoid) and also a C1105 for the right rear WSS signal intermittent.
Any ideas what is happening here? I recently replaced the alternator. Checked out the front end and the CV axles seem ok, everything else the suspension and ball joints look good. Its weird how it makes this terrible noise and then just goes away. Is the ABS system activating?!
thanks in advance

The noise is definitely coming from the front of the car, hard to tell which side. I’m not ruling out that the ABS module isnt activating and causing those weird sounds but it does seem like a mechanical sound. I check the R/R WSS wires and they are intact. Did not check the reluctor wheel yet but I’m just trying to rule out if the ABS could be part of the main drive-ability issue I am having…

the ABS wheel sensor is magnetic, check to make sure no metal is stuck to it. my 02 is at 351,XXX miles and and I've owned it since December of 2012 and I haven't even had to change a wheel sensor yet. the wheel sensors and the rest of the ABS system seem to be pretty reliable. I also flush my brakes once a year to keep the fluid fresh.
is the grinding noise you hear constant? the only grinding noise I can think of is pads being worn past the pad lining when they grind the rotors. may sound crazy but sometime i jack one side up with the parking brake on and spin one wheel at a time with the vehicle running and in drive to check for drivetrain noise.
