Touch “VDC” in the “SELF DIAG MODE” screen.
If “VDC” is not indicated, go to

For further information, see the CONSULT-II Operation Manual.

SELF-DIAGNOSIS
Description

If a malfunction is detected in system, ABS warning lamp, VDC OFF lamp, and SLIP lamp on meter turn on.
In this case, perform self-diagnosis as follows:

Operation Procedure

1.

Turn ignition switch OFF.

2.

Connect CONSULT-II and CONSULT-II CONVERTER to the data link connector.

3.

Turn ignition switch ON.

4.

Start engine and drive at 30 km/h (19 MPH) or more for approximately 1 minute.

5.

After stopping the vehicle, with the engine running, touch “START (NISSAN BASED VHCL)”, “VDC”,
“SELF-DIAG RESULTS” in order on the CONSULT-II screen.

CAUTION:

If “START (NISSAN BASED VHCL)” is touched immediately after starting the engine or turning on
the ignition switch, “VDC” might not be displayed in the System Selection screen. In this case,
repeat the operation from step 1.

6.

The self-diagnostic results are displayed. (If necessary, the self-diagnostic results can be printed out by
touching “PRINT”.)

●

When “NO FAILURE” is displayed, check the ABS warning lamp, VDC OFF lamp, and SLIP lamp.

7.

Conduct the appropriate inspection from the display item list, and repair or replace the malfunctioning
component.

8.

Start engine and drive at 30 km/h (19 MPH) or more for approximately 1 minute.

CAUTION:

●

When a wheel sensor “short-circuit” is detected, if the vehicle is not driven at 30 km/h (19 MPH)
or more for at least 1 minute, the ABS warning lamp will not turn off even if everything is normal.

9.

Turn ignition switch OFF to prepare for erasing the memory.

10. Start the engine and touch “START (NISSAN BASED VHCL)”, “VDC”, “SELF-DIAG RESULTS”, “ERASE

MEMORY” in order on the CONSULT-II screen to erase the error memory.
If “VDC” is not indicated, go to

GI-38, "CONSULT-II Data Link Connector (DLC) Circuit"

.

CAUTION:

If the error memory is not erased, re-conduct the operation from step 5.

11. For the final inspection, drive at 30 km/h (19 MPH) or more for approximately 1 minute and confirm that

the ABS warning lamp, VDC OFF lamp, and SLIP lamp are off.
