... on this ABS blockade a little more? or perhaps link to some info ? .... The
3gen (89-94) FSM mentions this issue as one cause, not my invention... if I remember right, FSM says about swollen/misplaced seals. Could be in piping joints or inside ABS assy... I guess (?) its extremely rare. Info? Click seek the top left 'Favorite Links' on the link below...
Note: The REAR caliper piston goes in only by rotatin & pushin. (first time mystery to me... almost ruined the caliper). Its because of the auto/adj 'jackscrew' inside. This info also found as explained.
All caliper guide rails jam very easily, needs lube dependin on usage, max once in 2yrs. This is because in granpa drivin style, rear brakes barely never angage... Also caliper piston under dust shield has to be lubed but use ONLY SPECIAL brake -grease. See whata improvement lube makes, clic on the link. I had similar problems of rear calipers jamming intermittently, now all problems gone after lube & original pad changed to whatever other than original type. I was about to blow apart all piping & ABS unit, luckily I did not. However, I am not satified b/c I cannot pinpoint what the exact cause/remedy was...
ABS is about electronics. I cannot figure out how this would be related, but groundings & connector cleanup did make a huge difference in how smoothly ABS now works. Wont hurt any car, even though your maxima is so new that it 'shouldnt' need this: See pages 10,14 etc... However, I have seen badly oxidized connectors in 6mth old computers, so anythin can happen.
One brake fluid 'jam' place may be the rear load regulator LSV -valve, see below the 3gen valve And ABS ctrl pic (it has 2pcs adjustable regs as it has free suspension, no stiff axle). The ABS principal hasnt changed, but seek for your model info...
