ACTIVE TEST
CAUTION:
Do not perform active test while driving.
Make sure to completely bleed air from the brake system.
Active test cannot be performed when EBD, ABS, TCS or ESP operation is malfunction.
ABS and brake warning lamps turn on during the active test.
Operation Procedure
1. Connect CONSULT-II and CONVERTER to data link connector and start engine.
CAUTION:
If CONSULT-II is used with no connection of CONSULT-II CONVERTER, malfunctions might be
detected in self-diagnosis depending on control unit which carry out CAN communication.
2. Touch “START (NISSAN BASED VHCL) ” on the display screen.
3. Touch “ABS”.
If “ABS” is not indicated, go to GI-35, "
CONSULT-II Data Link Connector (DLC) Circuit" .
4. Touch “ACTIVE TEST”.
5. The test item selection screen is displayed.
6. Touch necessary test item.
7. With the “MAIN SIGNALS” display shown in reverse, touch “START”.
8. The “ACTIVE TEST” screen will be displayed, so perform the following test.
NOTE:
When the active test is performed while depressing pedal, the pedal depression amount will change,
but this is normal.
Approximately 10 seconds after the operation is begun, “TEST STOP” will be displayed.
To perform a retest after “TEST STOP” is displayed, touch “BACK” and perform the test from the step 6.

TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS
For Fast and Accurate DiagnosisEFS004H8
PRECAUTIONS FOR DIAGNOSIS
Before performing diagnosis, always read precautions. Refer to BRC-58, "How to Proceed With Diagno-
sis" .
If ESP/TCS/ABS control unit steering angle sensor, steering system parts or suspension system parts
have been replaced, or if alignment has been adjusted, be sure to adjust neutral position of steering angle
sensor before driving. Refer to BRC-51, "
Adjustment of Steering Angle Sensor Neutral Position" .
After diagnosis is finished, be sure to erase memory. Refer to BRC-79, "SELF-DIAGNOSIS" .
When checking continuity and voltage between units, be sure to check for disconnection, looseness,
bend, or collapse of connector terminals. If any malfunction is found, repair or replace connector termi-
nals.
For intermittent symptoms, possible cause is malfunction in harness, harness connector, or terminals.
Move harness, harness connector, and terminals to check for poor connections.
If a circuit tester is used for the check, be careful not to forcibly extend any connector terminal.
To use CONSULT-II to perform self-diagnosis of ESP/TCS/ABS control unit active tests, or work support,
first stop work, then connect CONSULT-II and select “ABS”.
While self-diagnostic results of CONSULT-II shows malfunction, if CONSULT-II active test is performed,
an engine system error may be indicated. In this case, start engine to resume the normal screen.
ESP/TCS/ABS system electronically controls brake operation and engine output. The following symptoms
may be caused by normal operations:
Symptom Symptom description Result
Motor operation noiseThis is noise of motor inside ESP/TCS/ABS control unit. Slight noise
may occur during ESP, TCS, and ABS operation.
Normal
When the vehicle speed goes over 20 km/h (12.5 MPH), motor and
valves operating noise may be heard. It happens only once after IGN
(ignition) is ON. This is a normal status of the system operation check.
System operation check
noiseWhen engine starts, slight “click” noise may be heard from engine room.
This is normal and is part of system operation check.Normal
ESP/TCS operation
(SLIP indicator lamp blink-
ing)TCS may activate momentarily if wheel speed changes when driving
over location where friction coefficient varies, when up/downshifting, or
when fully depressing accelerator pedal.
Normal
Cancel the ESP/TCS
function for the
inspection on a chas-
sis dynamometer. For inspection of speedometer or other instruments, press ESP OFF
SW to turn ESP/TCS function off.
When accelerator pedal is depressed on a chassis dynamometer (fixed
front-wheel type), vehicle speed will not increase. This is not normal. It is
result of TCS being activated by stationary front wheels. Warning lamp
may also illuminate to indicate “sensor system error”. This is also nor-
mal, and is the result of the stationary front wheels being detected. To be
certain, restart engine, and drive vehicle at 30 km/h (19 MPH) or more.
Make sure warning lamp does not illuminate.
ABS operation (Longer stop-
ping distance)On roads with low friction coefficients, such as snowy roads or gravel
roads, vehicles with ABS may require a longer stopping distance. There-
fore, when driving on such roads, avoid overconfidence and keep speed
sufficiently low.Normal
Insufficient feeling of accel-
erationDepending on road conditions, driver may feel that feeling of accelera-
tion is insufficient. This is because traction control, which controls
engine and brakes to achieve optimal traction, has the highest priority
(for safety). As a result, there may be times when acceleration is slightly
less than usual for the same accelerator pedal operation.Normal

Basic InspectionEFS004H9
BASIC INSPECTION 1 BRAKE FLUID AMOUNT, LEAKS, AND BRAKE PADS INSPECTION
1. Check fluid level in the brake reservoir tank. If fluid level is low, refill brake fluid.
2. Check brake piping and around ESP actuator for leaks. If there is leaking or oozing fluid, check the follow-
ing items.
If ESP actuator connection is loose, tighten piping to the specified torque and re-perform the leak
inspection to make sure there are no leaks.
If there is damage to the connection flare nut or ESP actuator screw, replace the damaged part and re-
perform the leak inspection to make sure there are no leaks.
When there is fluid leaking or oozing from a part other than ESP actuator connection, if fluid is just ooz-
ing out, use a clean cloth to wipe off the oozing fluid and re-check for leaks. If fluid is still oozing out,
replace the damaged part.
When there is fluid leaking or oozing at ESP actuator, if fluid is just oozing out, use a clean cloth to wipe
off oozing fluid and re-check for leaks. If fluid is still oozing out, replace ESP actuator body.
CAUTION:
ESP actuator body cannot be disassembled.
3. Check brake pad degree of wear. Refer to BR-27, "
PAD THICKNESS" in “Front Disc Brake” and BR-32,
"PAD WEAR INSPECTION" in “Rear Disc Brake”
BASIC INSPECTION 2 POWER SYSTEM TERMINAL LOOSENESS AND BATTERY INSPECTION
Make sure battery positive cable, negative cable and ground connection are not loose. If looseness is
detected, tighten the cables. In addition, check the battery voltage to make sure it has not dropped and alter-
nator is normal.

LAMP AND BRAKE WARNING LAMP INSPECTION
1. Make sure ABS warning lamp, ESP OFF indicator lamp (when ESP OFF switch is OFF), and SLIP indica-
tor lamp turns on approximately 2 second, and brake warning lamp turns on when ignition switch is turned
ON. If they do not, check ESP OFF indicator lamp and then ESP OFF switch. Refer to BRC-107, "
ESP
OFF SWITCH" . Check CAN communications. Refer to “CAN Communication Inspection”. If there are no
errors with ESP OFF switch and CAN communication system, check combination meter. Refer to DI-4,
"COMBINATION METERS" .
2. Make sure ABS warning lamp, ESP OFF indicator lamp, SLIP indicator lamp turn off approximately 2 sec-
ond after turn ignition switch ON, and brake warning lamp turns off after engine starts. If lamps do not turn
off, perform self-diagnosis.
3. With engine running, make sure ESP OFF indicator lamp turns on and off when ESP OFF switch is turned
ON and OFF. If indicator lamp status does not correspond to switch operation, check the ESP OFF switch
system. Refer to BRC-107, "
ESP OFF SWITCH" .
4. Make sure ABS warning lamp, ESP OFF indicator lamp, and SLIP indicator lamp turn off 2 seconds after
engine is started. If ABS warning lamp, ESP OFF indicator lamp, and SLIP indicator lamp have not turned
off 10 seconds after engine has been started, perform self-diagnosis of ESP/TCS/ABS control unit.
5. After performing the self-diagnosis, be sure to erase the error memory. Refer to BRC-27, "
SELF-DIAGNO-
SIS" .
CAUTION:
Brake warning lamp turns on when parking brake is operated (switch on) and brake fluid level
switch is activated (leak of brake fluid).
