C1130 on Nissan
ABS control unit not recognising an engine computer signal (Nissan and Infiniti)
Severity: Inspect soon
Nissan lists driver aids that can be affected by missing engine signals, including forward emergency braking, cruise control and VDC/ABS/TCS, so the braking helpers may be reduced.
It gets more serious if:
- Stop: Stop and have it checked if the red BRAKE warning light is on, the pedal feels different, or the car does not stop as it normally does.

Says to diagnose, repair and erase engine P-codes first because C1130 reports an engine computer signal the ABS unit does not recognise.
We couldn't confirm whether this bulletin is still current, so it doesn't count as confirmation.
