what kind of sensor plugs into this?







i saw 2 99 maximas. one had the same plug & some kind of sensor plugged in to it and it traced into the shock mount. the other had neither the plug, nor the sensor. my 98 has the plug but not a sensor. what is it for?

yea it's for ABS, there should be a grommet or a hole near that that goes into the wheel well, or at least mine does because I have ABS

All makes sense now. I have ABS and I was the car that VIP looked at that had the plug and sensor.

I installed a custom short air intake on my 99 maxima, going to make it cold air shortly, i have a few questions though... is the cold air better then the short? what is the difference really? Also i bought an air respiratior thinking that it plugs into the hole thats on the pipe for the intake, but on this instruction site it says to plug there o2 sensor into that, so where do i put this respirator if anywhere? waht if i put it in that hole and not the o2 sensor?( http://www.geocities.com/nismorg/Maxima/cai.html ) last picture describes what im talking about thanks

So ... I guess my auto climate control theory is right out the window ... oh well! lol I would say it's an ABS sensor ... like The Wizird says. What else plays into the ABS system? Besides the sensors and computer?

You can "fix" the tire issue by doing a couple of burnouts

Personally, I don't think the 4th gen ABS were that "smart". There was a video somewhere of ABS locking up.

BTW, doesn't ABS have that huge distribution block by the reservoir?
