Code Tech Notes

The ABS has an electronic control unit to control major functions. The control unit accepts input signals from sensors and controls the operation of the actuator. It is also important to check for conventional problems such as air leaks in the booster or lines, lack of brake fluid, or other problems with the brake system.
It is much more difficult to diagnose a problem that occurs intermittently rather than continuously. Most intermittent problems are caused by poor electrical connections or faulty wiring. In this case, careful checking of suspicious circuits may help prevent the replacement of good parts.

Code C1126 Nissan Description

The control unit computes the wheel rotating speed by the signal sent from the sensor. Then it supplies a DC current to the actuator solenoid valve. It also controls ON-OFF operation of the solenoid valve relay and motor relay. If any electrical malfunction should be detected in the system, the control unit causes the warning lamp to turn on. In this condition, the ABS will be deactivated by the control unit, and the vehicle's brake system reverts to normal operation.
The ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) contains: An electric motor and pump, Two relays, Eight solenoid valves ( each inlet and outlet for LH front, RH front, LH rear, RH rear), and ABS control unit.
These components control the hydraulic circuit that increases, holds or decreases hydraulic pressure to all or individual wheels. The ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) cannot be disassembled and must be replaced as an assembly.
