2009 xterra the ABS, VDC, and slip lights came on, i followed the posts that talked about charging system, as i did recently give someone a jump. Problem is the lights didnt come on for at least 24 hours after that, i checked the charging system with my meter it all seems to be working, and the battery is almost 14v at rest. But i follow the reset instructions and the lights dont reset.????

abs sensors

I know this VDC is commonly due to a steering angle sensor.
You need to use an ABS scan tool and check for the following codes.
C1143 (steering angle sensor circuit)
C1144 (steering angle sensor signal)
C1156 (steering angle sensor com cir)
C1163 (steering angle sensor safe)

See if the following information helpful:
1. Keep an eye on the dashboard for the indicators marked "SLIP" and "VDC Off" which will tell you the status of the computerized handling system if handling isn't normal. "SLIP" will blink when VDC is operating. "VDC OFF" means the system is off. Turn the VDC system back on if the Nissan's handling is poor by pressing the "VDC Off" button until the light goes out.

2. Adjust your driving if "SLIP" comes on. "SLIP" means the road conditions may be slippery. The VDC aids in steering and stopping, but be careful, even if VDC is engaged.

3. Remove any aftermarket suspension parts like enhanced shock absorbers if the "VDC Off" light comes on and handling is bad. The VDC system is geared for stock equipment and tires only. Use winter tires or snow chains on snow-covered roads. VDC won't substitute for the correct winter equipment.

4. Don't drive on very inclined corners with high banks and leave the VDC switch on if the handling is poor with VDC on. The system can't operate properly in that environment. Disengage VDC, or avoid those kinds of roads.

I think a trip to the nissan dealer may be needed. The Slip and VDC sytem is tied into the anti-lock brake system. Could be as simple as a vacuum leak or a bad check valve at the brake booster, or the ABS system could be malfunctioning.

check the cable which leads from the tranny to the dash, most of the time the cable or sensor went bad

VDC/ OFF light is still ON only ? or also SLIP + VDC/OFF ?

if VDC/OFF only u must check ur brake fluid status if both VDC and SLIP u still have problems with ur ABS module and steering wheel

the vdc off can result because the steering input sensor needs to be re calibrated with the nissan consult2 .
the vehicle dynamic control uses input from the abs,vehicle speed sensor,air bag sensor,yaw sensor and steering angle input sensor.

Firstand foremost,this snota problem for a echanic tooodagnose. Ifurbatery isdrainng, u shouldcek to cifur charging system is functioningproperly. Ifur ABS lite iscoming on, probaly during dis-assemby, something went wrong witur sesors. check it out with someone knowledgeable and experienced

The heavy draw on the charging system may have put it in a low voltage condition which will trigger results like that. Double check your battery connections and you may want to have the battery tested. It might be wearing out. Good luck. Please rate me so I know if I helped.Thanks.
