2006 NISSAN PATROL ABS

G SENSOR
The G sensor senses deceleration during braking to determine whether the vehicle is being driven on a high
 road (asphalt road, etc.) or a low  road (snow-covered road, etc.). It then sends a signal to the ABS con-
trol unit.
The reed switch turns on when it is affected by a magnetic ®eld. During sudden deceleration (braking on a
high  road), the weight moves and the magnet in the weight moves away from the reed switch. The mag-
netic ®eld then diminishes and the reed switch turns off.
ABS ACTUATOR AND ELECTRIC UNIT
The ABS actuator and electric unit contains:
+An electric motor and pump
+ Two relays
+ Six solenoid valves, each inlet and outlet for
Ð LH front
Ð RH front
Ð Rear
+ ABS control unit
This component controls the hydraulic circuit and increases, holds
or decreases hydraulic pressure to all or individual wheels. The
ABS actuator and electric unit are not disassemble.
ABS actuator operation
Inlet solenoid
valve Outlet solenoid
valve
Normal brake operation OFF (Open) OFF (Closed) Master cylinder brake ¯uid pressure is directly trans-
mitted to wheel cylinder via the inlet solenoid valve.
ABS operation Pressure hold ON (Closed) OFF (Closed)
Hydraulic circuit is shut off to hold the wheel cylinder
brake ¯uid pressure.
Pressure
decrease ON (Closed) ON (Open) Wheel cylinder brake ¯uid is sent to reservoir via the
outlet solenoid valve. Then it is pushed up to the
master cylinder by pump.
Pressure
increase OFF (Open) OFF (Closed) Master cylinder brake ¯uid pressure is transmitted to
wheel cylinder.

Removal and Installation
CAUTION:
Be careful not to damage sensor edge and sensor rotor teeth.
When removing the front wheel hub or rear axle shaft
assembly, disconnect the ABS wheel sensor from the assem-
bly and move it away.

G SENSOR
Always replace G sensor if bumped or dropped. Otherwise,
performance characteristics of G sensor will be changed,
which in turn changes ABS control performance characteris-
tics.

How to Perform Trouble Diagnoses for Quick
and Accurate Repair
INTRODUCTION
The ABS system has an electronic control unit to control major
functions. The control unit accepts input signals from sensors and
instantly drives the actuators. It is essential that both kinds of sig-
nals are proper and stable. It is also important to check for conven-
tional problems: such as air leaks in booster lines, lack of brake
¯uid, or other problems with the brake system.
It is much more difficult to diagnose a problem that occurs intermit-
tently rather than continuously. Most intermittent problems are
caused by poor electric connections or faulty wiring. In this case,
careful checking of suspicious circuits may help prevent the
replacement of good parts.
A visual check only may not ®nd the cause of the problems, so a
road test should be performed.
Before undertaking actual checks, take a few minutes to talk with
a customer who approaches with a ABS complaint. The customer
is a very good source of information on such problems; especially
intermittent ones. Through the talks with the customer, ®nd out what
symptoms are present and under what conditions they occur.
Start your diagnosis by looking for ``conventional'' problems ®rst.
This is one of the best ways to troubleshoot brake problems on an
ABS controlled vehicle.
