"How To Install The ABS Sytem on 1995 Nissan Maxima"

1995 Nissan Maxima Left Side View

How would I install ABS on an 1995 Nissan Maxima? I know Nissan added $800 to the overall cost of the car when purchased new so I think I should be able to install it with used parts myself for around $300. I just don’t know what I need – parts wise. Thanks.

Answer: Early ABS Maxima systems need correct inputs of speed sensors not included on your axles or drilled holes in the front steering knuckles or rear bearing hubs. That is the first big mess. Each sensor is a magnetic switch struts for ABS cars are different abs wire holders made on them and running additional 8 wires and shielding to the ABS actuator under the air filter. That is the second big mess. Next those brake hoses in the engine compartment look closely you almost have to remove the power train to fasten them down properly and the Actuator it self actually sits just above the transmission next to the starter motor. Third big mess. Your brake master Cly has 5 outlets ABS has two fourth big mess Now the Biggie Wiring harness has to be completely water tight Your engine control module and transmission control module are not ABS compatible Fifth big mess, I don’t want to say it cannot be done. The average owner feels the ABS engage two or three times a year. Most the time they come running to the dealer complaining my brake did something wrong There was this noise the brake pedal shook? You Know Sexy Ray Save your self Lot’s of problems trade old paint in for a new Altima Coupe with a 3.5 engine and technology package * air bags 8 of them ABS, VDC, Bluetooth, and CVT. Nissan cars have come a long way in 13 years!
