Diagnosis Procedure

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 Nissan Maxima. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. CONNECTOR INSPECTION
    1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
    2. Disconnect ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) connector.
    3. Check terminals for deformation, disconnection, looseness, and so on. If any malfunction is found, repair or replace terminals.
    4. Reconnect connector and perform self-diagnosis. Refer to "CONSULT-III FUNCTION (ABS) ".

    Is any item displayed on the self-diagnosis display? 

    YES: GO TO 2

    NO: Poor connection of connector terminals. Repair or replace connector.

  2. CHECK STEERING ANGLE SENSOR HARNESS
    1. Check CAN communication system. Refer to "TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS FLOW CHART ".
    2. Turn ignition switch OFF.
    3. Disconnect steering angle sensor connector.
    4. Check continuity between steering angle sensor harness connector M53 terminal 1 and ground.

    Is the inspection result normal? 

    YES: GO TO 3

    NO: Repair or replace malfunctioning components.

  3. CHECK DATA MONITOR
  1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
  2. Connect steering angle sensor connector and ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) connector.
  3. Select "STR ANGLE SIG" in "Data Monitor" and check steering angle sensor signal.
DATA MONITOR CHART

Steering condition STR ANGLE SIG (Data monitor)
Driving straight -2.5 ° to + 2.5 °
Turn 90° to right Approx. + 90 °
Turn 90° to left Approx. -90 °

Is the inspection result normal? 

YES: Replace ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit). Refer to "REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION ".

NO: Replace steering angle sensor and adjust neutral position of steering angle sensor. Refer to "REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION " and "SPECIAL REPAIR REQUIREMENT ".
