SYSTEM DESCRIPTIONPFP:00000
System DiagramBFS000CO
FunctionsBFS000CP
ABS

The Anti-Lock Brake System is a function that detects wheel revolution while braking, and it improves
handling stability during sudden braking by electrically preventing 4 wheel lock. Maneuverability is also
improved for avoiding obstacles.

If the electrical system breaks down, then the fail-safe function is activated, ABS becomes inoperative,
and ABS warning lamp turns on.

Electrical system diagnosis by CONSULT-II is available.

During ABS operation, brake pedal lightly vibrates and a mechanical noise may be heard. This is normal.

Just after starting vehicle after ignition switch ON, brake pedal may vibrate or motor operating noise may
be heard from engine room. This is a normal status of operation check.

Stopping distance may be longer than that of vehicles without ABS when vehicle drives on rough, gravel,
or snow-covered (fresh, deep snow) roads.

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

EBD

Electronic Brake Distribution is a function that detects subtle slippages between front and rear wheels dur-
ing braking, and it improves handling stability by electronically controlling Brake Fluid Pressure which
results in reduced rear wheel slippage.

In case of electrical system break down, the fail-safe function is activated, EBD and ABS becomes inoper-
ative, and ABS warning lamp and brake warning lamp are turned on.

Electrical system diagnosis by CONSULT-II is available.

During EBD operation, brake pedal lightly vibrates and a mechanical noise may be heard. This is normal.

Just after starting vehicle after ignition switch ON, brake pedal may vibrate or motor operating sound may
be heard from engine compartment. This is a normal condition of operation check.

Stopping distance may be longer than that of vehicles without EBD when vehicle drives on rough, gravel,
or snow-covered (fresh, deep snow) roads.
Fail-Safe FunctionBFS000CR
ABS, EBD SYSTEM
In case of electrical malfunctions with ABS, ABS warning lamp will turn on. In case of electrical malfunctions
with EBD, brake warning lamp and ABS warning lamp will turn on. Simultaneously, ABS become one of follow-
ing conditions of the fail-safe function.

For ABS malfunction, only EBD is activated and condition of vehicle is same condition of vehicles without
ABS system.
NOTE:
ABS self-diagnosis sound may be heard. That is a normal condition because a self-diagnosis for Ignition
switch ON and The first starting are being performed.

For EBD malfunction, EBD and ABS become inoperative, and condition of vehicle is same as condition of
vehicles without ABS, EBD system.

CONSULT-II Functions (ABS)BFS000CZ
CONSULT-II MAIN FUNCTION
CONSULT-II can display each diagnostic item using the diagnostic test modes shown following.
CONSULT-II SETTING PROCEDURE
Refer to GI-34, "CONSULT-II Start Procedure" .
Self-Diagnosis BFS000D0
DESCRIPTION
If an error is detected in the system, ABS warning lamp on combination meter turn on. In this case, perform
self- diagnosis as follows.
OPERATION PROCEDURE
1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
2. Perform “CONSULT-II Starting Procedure”. Refer to GI-34, "
CONSULT-II Start Procedure" .
3. Turn ignition switch ON.
4. Start engine and drive vehicle at 30 km/h (19 MPH) or more for approximately 1 minute.
5. After stopping vehicle, with the engine running, touch “ABS”, “SELF-DIAG RESULTS” in order on the
CONSULT-II screen.
CAUTION:
If “START (NISSAN BASED VHCL)” is touched immediately after starting engine or turning on the
ignition switch, “ABS” might not be displayed in the System Selection screen. In this case, repeat
the operation from step 1. If it cannot be shown after several attempts, ABS actuator and electric
unit (control unit) may have malfunctioned.
6. The self-diagnostic results are displayed. (Touch “PRINT” to print out self-diagnostic results, if necessary.)

Check ABS warning lamp if “NO FAILURE” is displayed.
7. Perform the appropriate inspection from the display item list, and repair or replace the malfunctioning
component.
8. Start engine and drive vehicle at 30 km/h (19 MPH) or more for approximately 1 minute.
CAUTION:
When the wheel sensor malfunctions, after inspecting the wheel sensor system, the ABS warning
lamp will not turn off even when the system is normal unless the vehicle is driving at approxi-
mately 30 km/h (19 MPH) or more for approximately 1 minute.
ERASE MEMORY
1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
2. Start engine and touch “ABS”, “SELF-DIAG RESULTS”, “ERASE MEMORY” in order on the CONSULT-II
screen to erase the error memory.
CAUTION:
If the error memory is not erased, re-perform the operation from step 4.
3. Perform self-diagnosis again, and make sure that diagnostic memory is erased.
4. Drive vehicle at 30 km/h (19 MPH) or more for approximately 1 minute as the final inspection, and make
sure that the ABS warning lamp is off.

Note 1: The brake warning lamp turns on during parking brake operation (when switch is on) and brake fluid level sensor operation
(insufficient brake fluid).
Note 2: Turns off after engine start
1. Make sure that when the ignition switch is turned ON, the ABS warning lamp turns ON for approximately 1
second, and that the brake warning lamp turns on. If they do not turn on, perform CAN communication
system diagnosis. Refer to BRC-29, "
CAN Communication System" .
2. Check if the ABS warning lamp turns off approximately 1 second after the ignition switch is turned ON,
and if the brake warning lamp turns off after the engine is started. If they do not turn off, perform self-diag-
nosis.
3. If ABS warning lamp has not turned off 10 seconds after the engine has been started, perform self-diagno-
sis of the ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit).
4. Always erase the self-diagnostic results after completing self-diagnosis. Refer to BRC-17, "
ERASE MEM-
ORY" .
