Operation Procedure

  1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
  2. Connect CONSULT-III and CONSULT-III CONVERTER to the data link connector. CAUTION: If CONSULT-III is used with no connection of CONSULT-III CONVERTER, malfunctions might be detected in self-diagnosis depending on control unit which carries out CAN communication.
  3. Turn ignition switch ON.
  4. Start engine and drive at approximately 30 km/h (19 MPH) or more for approximately 1 minute.
  5. After stopping the vehicle, with the engine running, touch "START (NISSAN BASED VHCL)""ABS""SELF-DIAG RESULTS" in order on the CONSULT-III screen. CAUTION: If "START (NISSAN BASED VHCL)" is touched immediately after starting the engine or turning on the ignition switch"ABS" might not be displayed in the SELECT SYSTEM screen. In this case, repeat the operation from step 1 .
  6. The self-diagnostic results are displayed. (If necessary, the self-diagnostic results can be printed out by touching "PRINT"). When "NO DTC IS DETECTED" is displayed, check the ABS warning lamp.
  7. Conduct the appropriate inspection from the display item list, and repair or replace the malfunctioning component.

Note. If active test is performed with brake pedal depressed, pedal stroke may change. This is normal. "TEST IS STOPPED" is displayed approximately 10 seconds after operation starts. After "TEST IS STOPPED" is displayed, to perform test again, repeat Step 5 .

Pedal Vibration or ABS Operation Noise

Note. During ABS activation, pedal vibration may be felt and a noise may be heard. This is normal and does not indicate a malfunction.

  1. CHECK SYMPTOM Apply brake. Start engine. Does the symptom occur only when engine is started? YES >> Carry out self-diagnosis. Refer to " «SELF-DIAGNOSIS»(ref-337617-S13174347562009080600000) ". NO >> GO TO 2.
  2. RECHECK SYMPTOM Does the symptom occur only when electrical equipment switches (such as headlamps) are turned on? YES >> Check for radio, antenna or related wiring that is routed too close to the ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) and reroute as necessary. NO >> Go to " «ABS WORKS FREQUENTLY»(ref-337617-S34822930652009080600000) ".
