The squeal is a warning device installed on your vehicle telling you that your brake pads are worn out. The light is coming on because you have a problem. Have your braking system inspected ASAP. Do not ignore this or you will end up replacing the rotors and spending more money. You may also end up having an accident due to defective brakes.

The Antilock Brake System or ABS light stays on in a 1997 Nissan Pathfinder because there is a problem with the brakes. The brakes are either low on fluid or they need to be changed or adjusted.
Nissan couldn't sell many pathfinder so they want to makes money on parts ,if not the company get bankrupts. It happen to my pathfinder 2011 only done 20000km ,have to change new rear pads and machine the discs . Nissan rubbish car
Some parts of the Nissan Pathfinder that have been previously recalled include the air bags and the service brakes. Another affected part is the engine cooling system.
If the pathfinder is a model with a park lock, then pump the brakes and listen for the shift solenoid to click. The solenoid is under the plastic cover around the shifter, and has probably gone bad.
i need pad shims in front brakes on a pathfinder 1995
before you start messing with your brakes you should learn to spell rotors right.. if you cant spell the part you shouldn't be messing with them
Hi I am assuming "change the brakes" refers to the Brake Pads, front and rear ? If this is correct the job in hand is straight forward. However, if you are completely replacing the brakes eg: Upgrade, then that's a whole new venture.
Rear, then front.
I step on brakes, dashboard light comes on which says stop.
It is easy to replace the brakes if you know what you are doing. Even on cars like BMW's and Nissan's, the brakes are easily replaced.
