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 VDC 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-40, "
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.

CONSULT-II CHECKING SYSTEMPFP:00000
DescriptionAAS000E7

CONSULT-II is a hand-held type tester. When it is connected with a diagnostic connector equipped on the
vehicle side, it will communicate with the control unit equipped in the vehicle and then enable various
kinds of diagnostic tests.

Refer to “CONSULT-II Software Operation Manual” for more information.

1. When there are no indications of “BCM”, “METER A/C AMP” or “IPDM E/R” on “SELECT SYSTEM” dis-
play of CONSULT-II, print the “SELECT SYSTEM”.
2. Print all the data of “SELF-DIAG RESULTS” for “ENGINE”, “A/T”, “ALL MODE AWD/4WD”, “BCM”,
“METER A/C AMP”, “ABS”, and “IPDM E/R” displayed on CONSULT-II.
3. Print all the data of “CAN DIAG SUPPORT MNTR” for “ENGINE”, “A/T”, “ALL MODE AWD/4WD”, “BCM”,
“METER A/C AMP”, “ABS”, and “IPDM E/R” displayed on CONSULT-II.
4. Attach the printed sheet of “SELECT SYSTEM”, “SELF-DIAG RESULTS” and “CAN DIAG SUPPORT
MNTR” onto the check sheet. Refer to LAN-140, "
CHECK SHEET" .
5. Based on the indications of “SELECT SYSTEM” and the results of “CAN DIAG SUPPORT MNTR”, put
marks “v” onto the items with “No indication”, “NG”, or “UNKWN” in the check sheet table. Refer to LAN-
140, "CHECK SHEET" .
NOTE:

If “NG” is displayed on “INITIAL DIAG (Initial diagnosis)” as “CAN DIAG SUPPORT MNTR” for the diag-
nosed control unit, replace the control unit.

The “CAN DIAG SUPPORT MNTR” items, which are not in check sheet table, are not related to diag-
nostic procedure on service manual.
So it is not necessary to check the status of “CAN DIAG SUPPORT MNTR” items which are not indi-
cated in check sheet table.
6. Check CAN communication line of the integrated display system. Refer to AV- 8 5 , "
CAN Communication
Line Inspection" .
7. Attach the CAN DIAG MONITOR check sheet onto the check sheet. Refer to LAN-140, "
