When an error is indicated by ABS or another warning lamp, collect all necessary information from cus-
tomer (what symptoms are present under what conditions) and check for simple causes before starting
diagnostic servicing. Besides electrical system inspection, check booster operation, brake fluid level, and
oil leaks.

If tire size and type are used in an improper combination, or brake pads are not Genuine NISSAN parts,
stopping distance or steering stability may deteriorate.

If there is a radio, antenna, or antenna lead-in wire (including wiring) near control module, ABS function
may have a malfunction or error.

If aftermarket parts (car stereo, CD player, etc.) Have been installed, check for incidents such as harness
pinches, open circuits, and improper wiring.

TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS FOR SYSTEMPFP:00000
Wheel Sensor SystemNFS00026
After using the CONSULT-III SELF-DIAG RESULTS to determine the location of the malfunctioning wheel sen-
sor, check all areas to determine the component to be replaced.
CAUTION:

Do not measure the resistance value and also voltage between the sensor terminal with tester etc.,
because the sensor is an active sensor.

Do not expand the terminal of the connector with a/the tester terminal stick, when it does the
inspection with the tester.
INSPECTION PROCEDURE
1. CHECK SELF-DIAGNOSIS RESULTS
Check self-diagnosis results.
Is the above displayed in the self-diagnosis display items?
YES >> GO TO 2.
NO >> INSPECTION END
2. CHECK TIRE
Check air pressure, wear, and size.
Are the air pressure, wear, and size within the standard values?
YES >> GO TO 3.
NO >> Adjust air pressure, or replace tire.
3. CHECK SENSOR AND SENSOR ROTOR

Check the condition of the sensor mount (for looseness, etc.).

Check the surface of the front sensor rotor rubber for damage.

Check the rear sensor rotor for damage.
OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 4.
NG >> Repair wheel sensor mount or replace the sensor rotor.
4. CHECK CONNECTOR
1. Disconnect ABS control unit connector and the malfunctioning wheel sensor connector E42 (FR - LH) or
E27 (FR - RH) or T5 (RR - RH, LH). Check the terminal to see if it is deformed, disconnected, loose, etc.,
and replace it if any non-standard condition is found.
2. Reconnect connector, drive at a speed of approximately 30 km/h (19 MPH) or more for approximately 1
minute, and then perform self-diagnosis.
Is the result of self-diagnosis normal?
YES >> The connector terminal contact is loose, damaged, open or shorted.
NO >> GO TO 5.

Precautions for Brake ControlNFS0003T

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

Just after starting vehicle after ignition switch ON, brake pedal may vibrate or motor operating noise may
be heard from engine compartment. This is a normal status of operation check.

Stopping distance may be longer than that of vehicles without ABS when vehicle drives on rough, gravel,
or snow-covered (fresh, deep snow) roads.

When an error is indicated by ABS or another warning lamp, collect all necessary information from cus-
tomer (what symptoms are present under what conditions) and check for simple causes before starting
diagnostic servicing. Besides electrical system inspection, check booster operation, brake fluid level, and
oil leaks.

If tire size and type are used in an improper combination, or brake pads are not Genuine NISSAN parts,
stopping distance or steering stability may deteriorate.

If there is a radio, antenna, or antenna lead-in wire (including wiring) near control module, ABS function
may have a malfunction or error.

If aftermarket parts (car stereo, CD player, etc.) Have been installed, check for incidents such as harness
pinches, open circuits, and improper wiring.

If the following components are replaced with non-genuine components or converted, the VDC OFF indi-
cator lamp and SLIP indicator lamp may turn on or the VDC system may not operate properly. Compo-
nents related to suspension (Shock Absorber, Strut, Spring, Bush, etc.), Tires, wheels (exclude specified
size), components related to brake (Pad, Rotor, Caliper, etc.), Components related to engine (Muffler,
ECM, etc.), Components related to body reinforcement (Roll bar, Tower bar, etc.).

Driving in the condition of breakage or excessive wear of the suspension, tires or components related to
the brakes may cause the VDC OFF indicator lamp and the SLIP indicator lamp to turn on, and the VDC
system may not operate properly.

When the TCS or VDC is activated by sudden acceleration or sudden turn, some noise may occur if the
brake pedal is used. The noise is a result of the normal operation of the TCS and VDC.

When driving on roads which have extreme slopes (such as mountainous roads) or high banks (such as
sharp carves on a freeway), the VDC may not operate normally, or the VDC warning lamp may turn on.
However, this is not a problem if normal operation can be resumed after restarting the engine.

Sudden turns (such as spin turns, acceleration turns), drifting, etc. When VDC function is OFF (VDC SW
ON) may cause the yaw rate/side G -sensor system indicate a problem. However this is not a problem if
normal operation can be resumed after restarting the engine.
