Re: 4wd and traction control
So far as I can recall it's because you were in lockup 4WD.
In lockup 4WD the Active Brake Limited Slip doesn't operate. If you left it in auto 4WD the ABLS would have kicked in and locked the spinning wheel.
Others might be able to correct me or better elaborate on this and I'd have to go back into the owners manual to verify, but I'm pretty sure that ABLS doesn't work in lockup 4WD.
I found this out myself out bush one day...got stuck in a rut with a spinning wheel in lockup 4WD. Took her back to auto 4WD, the ABLS then kicked in and I got out easily.
Hope this helps.

If you are correct, then Nissan definitely got this wrong in my opinion. It is when using 4WD LOCK that the most extreme conditions could be encountered and the ABLS should be needed most.
I could only presume it would be something to do with possible wind-up having a wheel braked to have Nissan program the system that way.
