There is a wheel speed sensor on each wheel, this is what detects if one wheel is spinning faster or slower than the others. For ABS if you are braking and the sensor detected that a wheel is moving slower than the other is will release the brake for it so it doesn't lock up, hence Anti-Lock Brakes. SInce the TCS light is also on I would bet that one of your front wheel speed sensors is either dirty or failing. A cleaning or replacing of them should fix the issue. Hope this helps!

My 98 buick regal have speed sensor on the tras, but noway I can take it out end replace

Your question is not very clear to help you out.
If you need to change the front speed sensor or the rear sometimes you have to change the wheel bearing assembly.
You cannot change only the sensor.
Most common problems with ABS system is an intrusion of water inside the wires.
-Look ABS fault code for which wheel sensor is at fault and then unplug harness connector at the wheel.
-Mix water and salt in a spray bottle around 1 liter of water/1 tablespoon of salt.
Take ohmmeter, plug to ground and with the red lead, probe each terminal at ABS connector
Spray the water/salt on the harness. If you read something = wiring is the defect.

Hope it helps

I have a pathfinder 03 with a big muffler and a small resonator after that

If there are no sensors connected to, or in the exhaust immediately before or after the resonator on your particular truck, then there should be no reason stopping you removing it and replacing it with a length of pipe.
Except, of course, Nissan spent millions of dollars on researching ways to make your Nissan nice and quiet, stopping exhaust vibrations hitting to bottom of the vehicle and causing drones at certain revs that wil drive the occupants to distraction.
So don't throw the resonator away..you will need it agin.......

If the unit is bouncing quite eratically, this is an indication of a gear/motor issue in the speedometer itself. There are places that repair these but are few and far between. Check out Silverstar Porsche/Mercedes auto recycling in CA. Great service and resonable on prices and will ship. Replace the speedometer.

I have no brake pressure. The rear calipers and master cylinder are new. There are no apparent leaks in the lines, and yet there is still no pressure in the brake system. The pedal just sinks to the floor....

the reson u get no pressure is that you need the special tool to bleed the ABS control hydraulic valve, u will need to have the dealer do this, air is trapped in the ABS control and until you bleed it correctly with the tool you will have no brake pressure.
