Nissan Qashqai - Traction Control Lights On - C1130, C1132 & P1525

Nissan Qashqai Traction Control Lights On

[@carolallen3900]

Just found this the other week. Had a "nosey" around the engine bay to check where it was last weekend. Bought a steel bike cable (£1.50: an idea I found on another blog post). Took the pipe off yesterday (bolt first then the tube). Spent about 30..60 mins patiently using a drill with a section of the bike cable to drill/clean the pipe. Once fully unblocked, put it back in the car. No further issues re: lights on the dashboard. I'd just like to say: "*Fabulous* youtube video Sandy. I have had this problem for some time - and yours was the first that really explained the problem and (more importantly) what the solution is - thank you so much!"

[@sandyande]

Cheers Glad to help, Sandy

How did you manage to get it off from the top? I can seem to get it off from the top, after removing the bolt.

[@carolallen3900]

@@winstonlee5382 ... there is a spring clip at the top of the rubber tube. I simply squeezed it a little as I pushed the tube down away from the sensor. It’s a little difficult to get to... but doable. It should slide off as you push down and rotate back and forth a little.

Thanks very much for this video.
The 2012, J10 Qashqai I was working on with the K9K 1.5 DCI engine had pretty much the same fault. It gave fault codes, C1132 and a couple of steering angle sensor codes, C1143 & C1144
I removed this pressure pipe and it was a little coked up but not blocked. It turned out to be the exhaust air pressure sensor that this pipe connects to. It looked like it had seen better days and because the pipe wasn't blocked. I pin pointed the sensor. Replaced it.. cleared codes and all is well.
What a crazy fault to signal such a code. This video definitely pointed me in the right direction.
Thank you

Thank you, man! I had the same problem, after finding the error code, I showed to the the mechanic your video and it really helped him. That fuckin' pipe was really filthy and , of course, clogged. Now it works fine. Greetings from Romania!

Great Matt did u use Rodys method of burning it out cheers sandy

We managed to unblock it with a welding rod and brake cleaner, don't think ours was quite as bad. Although almost thought it wasn't fitted on our car, it's well hidden.

I use mig welding wire. Works a dream.

[@dodgydino62]

Well I managed to do it and it was a pain especially trying to get it connected back up but like everything if you persevere you get there in the end.
I found that the pipe WAS blocked but after clearing it I still have the anti skid lights still on... do the lights normally go out on thier own or do they need to be reset if not I need to look else where

[@sandyande]

I reset that one but u would think they would reset automatically after 3 starts if fault is gone!

[@musik2119]

I just had this pipe (the new pipe is slightly modified by Nissan these days) replaced but the lights were still turning on regularly. It turned out to be the MAP sensor. This was not expensive and anyone can replace in 5 minutes. No reset was necessary.

[@ciprian1979]

You may clean it, you don't have to replace it, it's pretty expensive for a short pipe of copper !It cleans up pretty easy, three days ago I solved the problem. I've drove 6 months with ESP light on, now I can't believe when I look in the board :) It costs over 120 euro (500 lei + in Romania) pipe and it's brought on the order from Nissan, from my point of view it's not worth it. If it's any help, my mechanic said this pipe came from a motor valve, right in the ABS, that's how much I got:)
