I got an ABS light that came up. I went to two different shops today and they could not read of the computer. It says there is no communication. What could it be. ECM? or something else?

they didnt connect the reader correctly.

I took it to two different shops. I doubt that both of them dont know how to connect it correctly. Nissan wants $110 for diognastics. I dont want to pay that. have any of you guys had this problem. thank you

Only dealers can pull ABS codes.

Dimashka

That is not true. A lot of shops have what they need to read the ABS light. I went to three places now. And it is not just the ABS that they cant read. They cant read my computer at all.

You need a Consult to read OUR ABS codes.

edit: is your CEL also on?

Oh, since they can't read your computer, why not just throw the car in the trash and buy something from the 1950-1960s with out a computer. Take the car to the dealer and have it fixed.

Did you check the fuses?

serious?

check the pins on the connector; on one of my pins, the plastic on the last one was a little broken and blocked it

Dimashka

I dont have all the money in the world to just take it to the dealer so CALM DOWN. I am trying to get some help and see if any body else experienced such a problem.

The CEL light is NOT on

The first thing I did was i checked all the fuses. Also I already checked the connector.

Actually I checked all the ABS fuses. Should i check any others?

What do you mean "they can't read the computer"? Are they just not pulling any codes or are they not able to connect to the car at all?

Which shops did you go to? Like Stardust ^^^ said you will have to find out if they have Nissans Consult Manual. If their machine didn't read anything then that might be the problem.

Any OBDII reader should be able to read the ABS codes. AutoZone was able to read mine. Also, any OBDII datalogging software will also read them.

note to self, buy Cipher

they cannot connect to the computer. They are just random shops that will do free diagnostics. I watched them all and all of them say "cannot connect to computer" or something like that.

As stated previously, you CANNOT read ABS codes without a "CON"sult tool. Nissan wasn't mandated by the feds to make the ABS system universally readable so they gave the stealerships a bone and made it unreadable by anything but the ConsultII tool.

That said, check your ABS lines. I've rubbed through one and through a code that way. If you've messed with your suspension or brakes lately, it might be loose and the rim could have rubbed through it. You have two routes at that point: replace the line to the tune of $150-$350 OR you can do what I did, splice the wires inside back together for $.50 worth of of crimp connections.

www.uprev.com Cipher software reads them. I can read mine in my garage in less than 1 minute.
