System DescriptionEFS001CJ
ABS FUNCTION
●During ABS operation, brake pedal lightly vibrates and its mechanical noise may be heard. This is a nor-
mal condition.
●When starting engine, or just after starting vehicle, brake pedal may vibrate. Also motor operating noise
may be heard from engine compartment. This is a normal status of operation check.
● When vehicle drives on rough, gravel, or snowy (fresh deep snow) road, the following conditions occur.
Stopping distance may be longer than that of vehicles without ABS.
4WD FUNCTION
● Electronically controlled 4WD is controlled by the same control module as that for ABS (4WD/ABS control
unit). 4WD/ABS control unit controls both electronically-controlled 4WD and ABS, based on input signals
from several sensors.
●If electrical system-related malfunction occurred in 4WD/ABS system, control unit illuminates the following
lamps: 4WD warning lamp and/or ABS warning lamp on meter control unit assembly. This notifies driver of
malfunction. At the same time, control unit indicates malfunctioning part detected by self-diagnosis with
flashing pattern of LED. Indication on electronic system diagnosis tester (CONSULT) corresponds to this
flashing pattern as shown below.

Fail-safe FunctionEFS001BB
●If a malfunction occurs in 4WD/ABS electrical system, and control unit detects the malfunction, 4WD
warning light on gauge turns ON to inform driver of system malfunction.
●When 4WD and ABS warning lamp is ON, vehicle is in 2WD.
How to Proceed with Trouble DiagnosisEFS001BC
BASIC CONCEPT
●The most important point to perform trouble diagnosis is to understand vehicle systems (control and
mechanism) thoroughly.
●It is also important to clarify customer complaints before inspec-
tion.
First of all, reproduce symptom, and understand it fully.
Ask customer about his/her complaints carefully. In some cases,
it will be necessary to check symptoms by driving vehicle with
customer.
CAUTION:
Customers are not professional. It is dangerous to make an
easy guess like “maybe the customer means that...,” or
“maybe the customer mentions this symptom”.
●It is essential to check symptoms right from the beginning in
order to repair a malfunction completely.
For intermittent malfunction, reproduce symptom based on inter-
view with customer and past examples. Do not perform inspec-
tion on ad hoc basis. Most intermittent malfunctions are caused
by poor contacts. In this case, it will be effective to shake sus-
pected harness or connector by hand. When repairing without
any symptom diagnosis, you can not judge if malfunction has
actually been eliminated.
●After completing diagnosis, always erase diagnostic memory.
Refer to BRC-24, "
Operation Procedure" .
●For intermittent malfunction, move harness or harness connector by hand. Then check poor contact or
false open circuit.
●Always read “GI General Information” to check general to confirm general precautions.

PRECAUTIONS
[ESP/TCS/ABS]PRECAUTIONSPFP:00001
Precautions for Brake SystemEFS0019O
●Recommended fluid is brake fluid “DOT 3” or “DOT 4”.
●Never reuse drained brake fluid.
●Be careful not to splash brake fluid on painted areas; it may cause paint damage. If brake fluid is splashed
on painted areas, wash it away with water immediately.
●Never use mineral oils such as gasoline or kerosene. They will ruin rubber parts of hydraulic system.
●Use flare nut wrench when removing and installing brake tubes.
●Always torque brake lines when installing.
●Before working, turn the ignition switch OFF and disconnect the
connectors for the ESP/TCS/ABS actuator and control unit or
the battery terminals.
●Burnish the brake contact surfaces after refinishing or replacing
drums or rotors, after replacing pads or linings, or if a soft pedal
occurs at very low mileage. Refer to BR-10, "
Brake Burnishing
Procedure" .
WARNING:
Clean brakes with a vacuum dust collector to minimize risk
of health hazard from powder caused by friction.
Precautions for Brake ControlEFS0019P
●During the ESP/TCS/ABS operation, the brake pedal vibrates lightly and its mechanical noise may be
heard. This is a normal condition.
●Just after starting the vehicle after ignition switch ON, the brake pedal may vibrate or the motor operating
noise may be heard from the engine compartment. This is a normal status of the operation check.
●The stopping distance may be longer than that of vehicles without ABS when the vehicle drives on rough,
gravel, or snowy (fresh deep snow) road.
●If a malfunction is indicated by the ABS warning lamp, or other warning lamps, collect the necessary infor-
mation from the customer (what symptoms are present under what conditions) and find out the possible
causes before starting the service. Besides the electrical system inspection, check the booster operation,
brake fluid level, and oil leaks.
●If the tire size and type are used in a improper combination, or the brake pads are not NISSAN genuine
parts, the stopping distance or steering stability may deteriorate.
●If there is a radio, antenna, or antenna lead-in wire (including wiring) near the control unit, the ESP/TCS/
ABS function may have a malfunction or error.
●If aftermarket parts (e.g. Car stereo equipment, CD player) have been installed, check the electrical har-
nesses for pinches, open, and improper wiring.
Precautions for CAN SystemEFS001CP
FOR INSPECTION
●Do not apply voltage of 7.0V or higher to the measurement terminals.
●Use the tester with its open terminal voltage being 7.0V or less.
●Before harness inspection, turn the ignition switch off, disconnect the negative battery terminal.
