Tech Tip: Nissan Maxima’s ABS Activates On Normal Braking, ABS Warning Lamp Is On

If you confirm that the ABS light is on with one or more of the following DTCs stored - C1105, C1110, C1124, C1126 - and/or the ABS system activates with normal braking, follow the Service Procedure.

Applied VINs:

2004-’06 all VINs
2007 built before 1N4BA41 E(*)7C 806900

Confirm:

The ABS light is on with one or more of the following DTC stored,

– C1105 – RR RH Sensor 2
– C1110 – Controller Failure
– C1124 – RR LH IN ABS SOL
– C1126 – RR RH IN ABS SOL

and/or the ABS system activates with normal braking.

Service Procedure: fig. 1

1. Remove only the right rear (passenger side) brake rotor, wheel hub assembly and baffle plate (see Fig. 1).fig. 2

2. Remove the plastic hub cap (see Fig. 2).

3. Remove the right rear ABS wheel sensor as follows:

  a. Apply corrosion penetrant to the sensor bolt.

  b. Use a punch and hammer to lightly tap the sensor bolt.fig. 3

  c. Remove the sensor bolt and sensor (see Fig. 3).

4. Clean any corrosion off of the knuckle, baffle plate and wheel hub assembly.

– Use a non-metal brush on the wheel hub assembly. A metal brush may damage components.fig. 4

– A wire wheel or metal brush can be used on the knuckle and baffle plate.

5. Grind or file a notch in the locating hole (see Fig. 4). fig. 5

Before grinding – see Fig. 5.

After grinding – see Fig. 6.Fig. 6

6. Install the new plastic hub cap.

7. Reassemble all parts removed in reverse order. Make sure to use a new ABS wheel sensor.

8. If code C1124 and/or C1126 was stored, replace the ABS actuator.

9. If you did not replace the ABS actuator in step 8, do the following:

  a. Use CONSULT-II to clear all ABS DTCs.

  b. Test-drive the vehicle.

  c. Recheck for code C1110.

  d. If code C1110 is stored, replace the ABS actuator.

10. Test-drive the vehicle; make sure the incident is fixed and the ABS light does not come back on.

Toyota FJ Cruiser Water Pump Replacement

Toyota’s original Land Cruiser was the company’s version of a Jeep that could go anywhere. In its time it was highly rated and collected, which led the Japanese juggernaut to bring back an updated SUV in 2007 called the FJ Cruiser. The retro-styled vehicle was again a go anywhere machine powered by a 4.0L V6 (1GR-FE) used in the Tacoma. The engines are durable and considered relatively robust for the time.

Long-Life Coolants Explained

Different types of coolants cover a range of applications from diesel to domestic, Asian and European vehicles. Each one is formulated to a specific manufacturer’s specifications to keep their engines at an optimal temperature. But, changes to the old one-size-fits-all formula has led to confusion for consumers and even some technicians.

Diagnosing Intelligent Cooling Systems

The majority of cooling systems on the roads react to what is happening inside the combustion chamber. After the engine is stressed, the heat causes the thermostat to open. Increases in temperatures will also cause the cooling fans to come on. The heat carried by the coolant is the trigger for operation of the fans and thermostat.

Modern Cooling System Design: It’s Not About Temperature; It’s About Powertrain

Given the advanced state of internal combustion engine technology, some recent cooling system innovations will actually increase engine torque and fuel economy while reducing exhaust emissions. Let me simplify that idea: new cooling system technology will make engines run better and cleaner. So, let’s get on the same page by reviewing some basics.
