System DescriptionEFS0067I
CAN (Controller Area Network) is a serial communication line for real time application. It is an on-vehicle mul-
tiplex communication line with high data communication speed and excellent error detection ability. Many elec-
tronic control units are equipped onto a vehicle, and each control unit shares information and links with other
control units during operation (not independent). In CAN communication, control units are connected with 2
communication lines (CAN H line, CAN L line) allowing a high rate of information transmission with less wiring.
Each control unit transmits/receives data but selectively reads required data only.

TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS
Operation Procedure
1. After turning OFF ignition switch, connect CONSULT-II and 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.
2. Turn ignition switch ON.
3. Touch “START (NISSAN BASED VHCL)”, “ABS”, “DATA MONITOR” in order on the CONSULT-II screen.
If “ABS” is not indicated, go to GI-35, "
CONSULT-II Data Link Connector (DLC) Circuit" .
CAUTION:
When “START (NISSAN BASED VHCL)” is touched immediately after starting engine or turning on
ignition switch, “ABS” might not be displayed in the system selection screen. In this case, repeat
the operation from step 1.
4. Return to the Monitor Item Selection screen, and touch “ECU INPUT SIGNALS”, “MAIN SIGNALS” or
“SELECTION FROM MENU”. Refer to the following information.
5. When “START” is touched, the data monitor screen is displayed.

For Fast and Accurate DiagnosisEFS005W4
PRECAUTIONS FOR DIAGNOSIS
Before performing diagnosis, always read precautions. Refer to BRC-60, "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-52, "
Adjustment of Steering Angle Sensor Neutral Position" .
After diagnosis is finished, be sure to erase memory. Refer to BRC-81, "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 malfunction 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:
ON and OFF Timing for ABS Warning Lamp, ESP OFF Indicator Lamp, SLIP Indicator Lamp,
Brake Warning Lamp
×: ON –: OFF 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 ignition
switch 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 downshifting, or
when fully depressing accelerator pedal.Normal
Cancel the ESP/TCS
function for the
inspection on a chas-
sis dynamometer. When checking speed meter etc. with a 2-wheel-drive chassis dyna-
mometer, vehicle speed is not increased by pressing down on the accel-
erator.
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
