I had an ABS light on at the odometer and another the car sign with the 2 skins marks. After that my car doesn’t pick up at certain speeds Mechanic's Assistant: Is it just the ABS light? Or is the brake system warning light on, too? Both Mechanic's Assistant: What is the make/model/year of your car? Infinti G24 2014 Mechanic's Assistant: Are you fixing your vehicle yourself? What have you tried so far? Just resetting the ABS indication via a diagnostic tool at the local garage but it hasn’t fixed the issue the indication has gone but the transmission doesn’t work at times even if I step hard on the gas Mechanic's Assistant: Anything else you want the Mechanic to know before I connect you? That’s it

Hi jay, you there?Hello
Automotive Expert
Good Morning , Did you check what codes were in it before you reset the lights ?

Hi the code reader said U1000 and U1116The mechanic reset the computers but even after the indications disappearing, my car does not pick up at certain speeds means the car is running but even if I stand on the gas pedal, the car won’t accelerate.
Automotive Expert
Is it revving up but not accelerating ?

That’s correct
Automotive Expert
That is going to be a transmission problem . I would check that the fluid level is full , other then that it will need a rebuild most likely

Problem just started today after the 2 indications came up as I was at 100kph on a highway. I thought the car engine might stall! Luckily it didn’tWhat fluid do you say here?
Automotive Expert
Check the transmission fluid level

But also to let you know that it’s not happening all the time! Only occasionallyWhat is the relation of this defect with the ABS and anti skid indications? Only after them to popped up thins problem started
Automotive Expert
that i would suspect speed sensors were not all seeing the same thing

I’m not sure of what you’re saying is the actual diagnosis but thanks anyway

Hey!My name is \*\*\*\*\* \*\*\*\*\* I will do my best to assist you. Thanks for using Justanswer! During this conversation you will be given an automated offer for a phone call. You may accept or decline that offer.I do offer this service if you were interested in this option.I’m sorry that you’re having trouble with your vehicle. I will do my best to help you resolve them. Please understand that I do not know your knowledge or capabilities so I may need to ask questions to find out basic information to help solve your specific problem.My aim is to give you the best service possible and to help you. If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to let me know. Sometimes it may take a moment for me to respond because I may have to look up information about your concern. I appreciate your patience and will provide responses as soon as possible.As you know, your vehicle is equipped with wheel speed sensors at each of the four wheels which monitor wheel speed while relaying this information constantly to the ABS and traction control system which are controlled by the car’s ECU. When the ECU senses an abnormal speed given specific conditions, it engages the ABS or traction control as needed to control the vehicle properly and safely. Occasionally, these sensors can fail or become faulty working intermittently sending inaccurate signals to the ECU. In your case it may be possible that the transmission is receiving a faulty signal from the ABS system witch is causing it to act up intermittently.
