2001 Nissan Frontier xe abs failure. When stopping on semi wet level surface abs engaged followed by complete brake system failure. No brake warning lamp or abs warning lamp was on.

Now brakes work in non abs mode (can apply full braking pressure to the point of locking the wheels when abs warning lamp is on. ).
