Nissan And Infiniti ABS Service: Good Working Order Of The Basic Brake System Eases Diagnostics
On early models, wheel speed sensors send an AC voltage signal to the ABS control module. On later models, active wheel speed sensors change the voltage signal produced by the ABS control module. Active wheel speed sensors are more accurate and work at lower speeds. This is why they are found on most Nissan/Infiniti models after 2012.
Rethinking Fuel Pump Diagnostics And Sensors
The technician diagnosed the 2011 Rogue as a bad fuel pump by squirting propane into the air intake. With propane, the engine runs, without propane, it stalls. But, after the fuel pump was replaced, the Rogue exhibited the same problem, which was a very slow, unsteady idle followed by an engine stall.
2004-2015 Nissan Titan Brake Pad And Rotor Service
Nissan’s first attempt at producing a full-size pickup was the first-generation Titan. This generation had no major brake problems or recalls, and the brakes are fairly easy to service. Nissan had a few teething problems with brake judder and brake booster issues on 2004-‘06 models, but they were corrected with better parts and updated software. Front

Nissan Clunking Or Thumping Noise At Start Up
The above condition is normal and does not need repair. Each time the ignition is turned on and the vehicle is driven at about 16 mph, the ABS/VDC system performs a “Self-Check” to confirm components of the ABS/VDC system are operating correctly.
Nissan Working On Brain-To-Vehicle Technology
Nissan’s brain-to-vehicle (B2V) technology “promises to speed up reaction times for drivers and will lead to cars that keep adapting to make driving more enjoyable,” the automaker said.
Variable Valve Timing Diagnostics: 2009 Murano Case Study
It was a scenario to which we can all relate. A long-time customer passed away and his vehicle was being gifted to his granddaughter. The 2009 Murano was dropped off by the grandmother, who asked us to give the car a really good look over since she didn’t want the granddaughter to have any problems or expenses with the gift.

Diagnosing ABS And Vehicle Stability Control Issues
These driver aids are empowered by control unit monitor inputs from the wheel speed sensors, steering angle sensor and yaw sensor. Using these inputs, the control unit makes decisions and sends output commands to the ABS modulator and throttle body to help the car follow the course that is expected by the driver.
