Inspection Procedure

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Nissan Murano. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

CHECK SELF-DIAGNOSIS RESULT

CAUTION: When on a turntable, such as at a parking structure entrance, or when on a moving object with engine running, the VDC OFF indicator lamp might turn on and self-diagnosis using the CONSULT-II yaw rate sensor system malfunction might be displayed, but in this case there is no problem with yaw rate/side/decel G sensor system. As soon as the vehicle leaves the turntable or moving object, restart engine to return the system to normal. And after doing spin turns or acceleration turns with VDC "OFF" (VDC OFF switch "ON"), too, the results will return to a normal state by re-starting vehicle.

Is above displayed in self-diagnosis display items?
1. YES: GO TO 2.
2. NO: Inspection END
CHECK CONNECTOR
1. Disconnect yaw rate/side/decel G sensor connector M61 and ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) connector E24 and check terminals for deformation, disconnection, looseness, and so on. If there is an error, repair or replace terminal.
2. Reconnect connectors and re-conduct a ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) self-diagnosis.
OK or NG
1. OK: Connector terminal contact is loose, damaged, open or shorted.
2. NG: GO TO 3.
CHECK YAW RATE SENSOR/SIDE G SENSOR HARNESS
1. Turn ignition switch OFF and disconnect yaw rate/side/decel G sensor connector M61 and ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) connector E24.
2. Check continuity between ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) vehicle side connector and yaw rate/side/decel G sensor vehicle side connector.

OK or NG
1. OK: GO TO 4.
2. NG: If open or short in harness, repair or replace harness.
CHECK YAW RATE SENSOR/SIDE/DECEL G SENSOR
1. Connect yaw rate/side/decel G sensor M61 and ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) connector E24.
2. Use "Data Monitor" to check if yaw rate sensor/side/decel G sensor are normal.

OK or NG
1. OK: Perform ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) self diagnosis again.
2. NG: Replace the malfunctioning yaw rate sensor/side/decel G sensor, and then re-conduct ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) self-diagnosis.
