2014 Nissan Juke P0101 and P159P error codes - Traction control light will turn ON after an actuator sound or something that will be audible.

Juke was in woking good with only having issue to show issues to rev if getting close to 60 MPH or pressing the gas pedal to accelerate to pass on in traffic then battery drain and had to get a booster charge to get home - After the booster change the Service engine soon light came ON
got a new battery, install it and then the Traction control light will turn ON happen and the Juke drives hard.

got a code scanner and got the following codes: P0101 and P159P error codes - Traction control light will turn ON after an actuator sound or something that will be audible that turn ON and the Traction control light ON be displayed, then revs will not pass 2500 RPM pressing the gas pedal wile idle (before having the Traction control light will turn ON it can Rev more than 2500 RPM's)

I made a video of these:


I'm waiting for the MAF sensor and G sensors (also TPS sensor too) to arrive to change them all at the same time

Anyone know what that actuator sound is and could that be causing the Traction control light will turn ON?
and why will it not rev more than 2500 RPM once the actuator sound comes on and the Traction control light will turn ON?

P0101 is not always a MAF. Most times its a vacuum leak. I dont think replacing what you are replacing is going to fix your issues.

I have not seen the 2500 rpm issue with the Juke before. If you have a code reader thingy. If its a OBD2 reader that uses your phone. Install Torque. Its only $5. See what the idle vacuum is.

Look in the engine bay for something obvious. Broken lines etc. Check your brake fluid level.

If its nothing simple and obvious. Take it too a professional. It will be cheaper in the long run instead of throwing parts at it.

I am having this same exact Problem along with almost stalling and actually stalling when coming to a stop (I need to keep it in Gear until I'm at about 1k rpms before going to neutral or it stalls or almost stalls). I have a 2014 Nismo 6spd, only thing aftermarket is the HKS BOV that was on the car when I bought it. I replaced the MAF, nothing changed actually got worse so I'm putting my old one back in. changed the PCV valve and nothing so far has changed except it getting worse. I did have an OBDII scan done before the MAF swap and that was the first code 2nd code was something ABS Module related I guess that explains the VDC light..... any help would be amazing.

Check your brake fluid.

Look for vacuum hoses that are leaking.

added a little Break fluid havent found any Vac leaks as of yet! thanks for the heads up! the VDC light hasnt come on since adding the fluid fingers crossed that is fixed! still having the stalling at neutral issue and that seems to be an issue for many many Jukes!!!
ive also noticed a little bucking while cruising at a steady RPM almost feels like a misfire........ could be dirty plugs i guess

There are lots of things the hesitation could be.

Ay Mods ?

bought it used from Nissan.. I'm sue it was modded a little before me because there is an HKS BOV. i was wondering if an OLD tune was left in it.. im just a Noob when it comes newer cars with all this electronic stuff and Turbo's. if my 91 fox body had issues i check fuel, air, spark! brake fluid level didnt shut the car off!!!!!

So I wonder if you are in a valet mode.

Cruise control toggle down. Hold it. Then press the cruise control button above the toggle once. See if the green cruise light flashes one time on the right dash speedo display

Hello, I have an Update:

As you mention the issue was not fixed by replacing the MAF and G-Sensor, nor did the TPS valve (that I also replace with a new one) did any good, the codes P0101 and P159D persisted.

What looks to have done some good is that I clean the Turbocharger boost sensor and the Electric throttle control actuator. as that clear the P0101 code but the P159D is still present, and has not gone into limp mode and no Traction control light has come ON.

something curios is that the Battery Current Sensor (The battery current sensor is installed to the battery negative cable. The sensor measures the charging/discharging
current of the battery) if connected to the 4 wire connector (mark with red arrow on image below) now I get error code P0171 but no limp mode AND if I disconnect that 4 wire connector from the Battery Current Sensor the code P0171 will go away.

it may be that the Battery current sensor is damage(maybe got damage at the time that battery drain and i did a booster charge to get home) ? I'm looking for a replacement once I get it and got it install I will report back.

Update:
Replacing the Battery Current Sensor and putting back the OEM MAF Sensor (the one that originally had installed) clear all but one code (P159D still present) but no more Limp mode, no more P0171 or P0172 and P0300 and P0304 as all other ones came up during the troubleshooting process, but all of them (again expect P159D) clear out by cleaning the the Turbocharger boost sensor and the Electric throttle control actuator and putting a new to my juke Battery Current Sensor (as it came from a donor Juke out of a local junk yard) but was working good, Im going to get the G-Sensor also from the same juke that donated the Battery Current Sensor and will report back
