3. During TCS operation, it informs a driver of system operation by flashing SLIP indicator lamp.
CAUTION:

During TCS operation, body and brake pedal lightly vibrate and the mechanical noise may be
heard. This is a normal condition.

Depending on road circumstances, a driver may have a sluggish feel. This is not abnormal,
because the optimum traction has the highest priority by TCS operation.

When the vehicle is passing through a road where the surface friction coefficient varies, down-
shifting or depressing the accelerator pedal fully may activate TCS temporarily.
ABS FunctionEFS0019U
1. In cases of braking suddenly or braking on slippery road (ice road), ABS functions prevent wheels from
lock, improve the stability in sudden braking, and make efficient avoidance of obstacles with steering
manipulation by detecting wheel speed and controlling brake fluid pressure.
2. EBD is integrated in ESP/TCS/ABS system.
CAUTION:

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

When starting engine, or just after starting vehicle, brake pedal may vibrate or the motor operating
noise may be heard from engine compartment. This is a normal status of the operation check.

The stopping distance may be longer than that of vehicles without ABS when vehicle drives on
rough, gravel, or snowy (fresh deep snow) road.
EBD FunctionEFS004HO

Electronic Brake Distributor is a function that detects subtle slippages between front and rear wheels dur-
ing braking, and it improves handling stability by electronically controlling the 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.
Fail-Safe FunctionEFS004HP
ESP/ TCS SYSTEM
In case of throttle control system trouble, ESP OFF indicator lamp and SLIP indicator lamp are turned on, and
the condition of vehicle is the same as the condition of vehicles without ESP/TCS equipment. In case of trou-
ble to the throttle control system, the ABS control continues to operate normally without ESP/TCS control.
CAUTION:
If the fail-safe function is activated, then perform the self- diagnosis for ESP/TCS/ABS control system.
ABS, EBD SYSTEM
In case of electrical malfunctions with the ABS, ABS warning lamp, ESP OFF indicator lamp and SLIP indica-
tor lamp will turn on. In case of electrical malfunctions with the EBD, brake warning lamp, ABS warning lamp,
ESP OFF indicator lamp and SLIP indicator lamp will turn on. Simultaneously, the ESP/ TCS/ABS become one
of the following conditions of the fail-safe function.
1. For ABS trouble, only the EBD is activated and the condition of vehicle is the same condition of vehicles
without ESP/TCS/ABS equipment.
2. For EBD trouble, the EBD and ABS become inoperative, and the condition of vehicle is the same as the
condition of vehicles without ESP/TCS/ABS, EBD equipment.
NOTE:
In condition 1 described above, an 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.

SELF-DIAGNOSIS
Description

If an error is detected in the system, ABS warning lamp, ESP OFF indicator lamp and SLIP indicator lamp
on the combination meter turn on. In this case, perform self-diagnosis as follows:

While CONSULT-II is used, ABS warning lamp, ESP OFF indicator lamp, SLIP indicator lamp may be
turned on in a case of no malfunctioning.
Operation Procedure
1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
2. Connect CONSULT-II and CONSULT-II CONVERTER to data link connector.
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.
3. Turn ignition switch ON.
4. Start engine and drive at 30 km/h (19 MPH) or more for approximately 1 minute.
5. After stopping vehicle, with the engine running, touch “START (NISSAN BASED VHCL)”, “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. (If necessary, the self-diagnostic results can be printed out by
touching “PRINT”.)

When “NO FAILURE” is displayed, check ABS warning lamp, ESP OFF indicator lamp and SLIP indica-
tor lamp.
7. Perform the appropriate inspection from the display item list, and repair or replace the malfunctioning
component.
8. Drive the vehicle at 30 km/h (19 MPH) or more for approximately 1 minute.
CAUTION:

In a case that a wheel sensor is malfunctioning, ABS warning lamp, ESP OFF indicator lamp,
SLIP indicator lamp will turn on. If vehicle is not driven at approximately 30 km/h (19 MPH) or
more for at least approximately 1 minute after repair of the wheel sensor system, ABS warning
lamp, ESP OFF indicator lamp and SLIP indicator lamp may not turn off even if everything is
normal. Check again to make sure that there is no malfunction on other parts.
9. Turn ignition switch OFF to prepare for erasing the memory.
10. Start engine and touch “START (NISSAN BASED VHCL)”, “ABS”, “SELF-DIAG RESULTS”, “ERASE
MEMORY” in order on the CONSULT-II screen to erase the error memory.
If “ABS” is not indicated, go to GI-35, "
CONSULT-II Data Link Connector (DLC) Circuit" .
CAUTION:
If the error memory is not erased, re-perform the operation from step 5.
11. For the final inspection, drive at 30 km/h (19 MPH) or more for approximately 1 minute and confirm that
ABS warning lamp, ESP OFF indicator lamp and SLIP indicator lamp are OFF.
