OPERATION PROCEDURE
1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
2. Connect CONSULT-II and CONSULT-II CONVERTER to data link connector.
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 engine running, touch “START (NISSAN BASED VHCL)”, “ABS”, “SELF-DIAG
RESULTS” in order on CONSULT-II screen.
CAUTION:
If “START (NISSAN BASED VHCL)” is touched immediately after starting engine or turn on the
ignition switch, “ABS” might not be displayed in the “SELECT SYSTEM” screen. In this case,
repeat the operation from step 1.
6. The self-diagnostic results are displayed. (Touch “PRINT” to print out self-diagnostic results, If necessary.)
lCheck ABS warning lamp if “NO FAILURE” is displayed.
7. Perform the appropriate inspection from display item list, and repair or replace the malfunctioning compo-
nent. Refer toBRC-18, "
Display Item List".
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 and brake warning lamp will not turn off even when the system is normal unless the vehicle
is driving at 30 km/h (19MPH) or more for approximately 1 minute.
ERASE MEMORY
1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
2. Start engine and touch “START (NISSAN BASED VHCL)”, “ABS”, “SELF-DIAG RESULTS”, “ERASE
MEMORY” in order on CONSULT-II screen to erase the error memory.
If “ABS” is not indicated, go toGI-50, "
CONSULT-II Data Link Connector (DLC) Circuit".
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 turn off.

PRECAUTIONS FOR DIAGNOSIS
lBefore performing diagnosis, always read precautions. Refer toBRC-17, "CONSULT- II Functions".
lAfter diagnosis is finished, be sure to erase memory. Refer toBRC-18, "ERASE MEMORY".
lWhen 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.
lFor intermittent symptoms, possible cause is malfunction in harness, harness connector, or terminals.
Move harness, harness connector, and terminals to check for poor connections.
lIf a circuit tester is used for check, be careful not to forcibly extend any connector terminal.
lABS system electrically controls brake operation and engine output. Following symptoms may be caused
by normal operations:
Basic InspectionEFS005TY
BASIC INSPECTION 1 BRAKE FLUID LEVEL, LEAKS, AND BRAKE PADS
1. Check fluid level in the brake reservoir tank. If fluid level is low, refill brake fluid.
2. Check brake tube and around ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) for leaks. If leakage or seepage
is found, check the following items.
lIf ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) connection is loose, tighten brake tube to the specified
torque and re-conduct the leak inspection to make sure there are no leakage.
lIf there is damage to the connection flare nut or ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) screw,
replace the damaged part and re-conduct the leak inspection to make sure there are no leakage.
lIf there is leakage or seepage at any location other than ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit)
connection, wipe away leakage or seepage with clean cloth. Then inspect again and confirm than there
is on leakage.
lIf there is leakage from ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit), wipe away leakage or seepage with
clean cloth. Then inspect again. If there is leakage or seepage, replace ABS actuator and electric unit
(control unit).
CAUTION:
ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) body cannot be disassembled.
3. Check brake pad degree of wear. Refer toBR-24, "
PAD WEAR INSPECTION"in “Front Disc Brake” and
BR-32, "
Lining Thickness Inspection"in “Rear Drum Brake”.
BASIC INSPECTION 2 POWER SYSTEM TERMINAL LOOSENESS AND BATTERY INSPECTION
Make sure battery positive cable, negative cable and ground connection are not loose. In addition, check the
battery voltage to make sure it has not dropped and alternator is normal.
Symptom Symptom description Result
Motor operation noiseThis is noise of motor inside ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit). Slight
noise may occur during ABS operation.
Normal
Just after engine starts, motor operating noise may be heard. This is a normal
status of the system operation check.
System operation check noiseWhen engine starts, slight “click” noise may be heard from engine compart-
ment. This is normal and is part of system operation check.Normal
ABS operation
(Longer stopping distance)When driving on roads with a low coefficient of friction, such as snowy roads
or gravel roads, the stopping distance is sometimes longer for vehicles
equipped with ABS. Therefore, when driving on such roads, drive at a suffi-
ciently reduced speed to be safe.Normal
