Nissan Maxima Service and Repair Manual: TCS
System Diagram
System Description
- Traction Control System is a function that electronically controls
engine torque and brake fluid pressure to
ensure the optimum slippage ratio at drive wheels by computing wheel speed
signals from 4 wheel sensors.
When ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) detects a spin at drive wheels, it compares wheel speed signals from all 4 wheels. At this time, LH and RH front brake fluid pressure are controlled, while fuel being cut to engine and throttle valve being closed to reduce engine torque by the control unit. Further more, throttle position is continuously controlled to ensure the optimum engine torque at all times.
- During TCS operation, it informs driver of system operation by flashing slip indicator lamp.
- Electrical system diagnosis by CONSULT is available.

Diagnosis Procedure
1.CHECK CONNECTOR
Turn the ignition switch OFF.
Disconnect the battery cable from the negative terminal.
Check the terminals and connectors of the IPDM E/R for damage,
bend and loose connection (unit side
and connector side).

Cruise control operations
The cruise control allows driving at a speed between
25 - 89 mph (40 - 144 km/h) without
keeping your foot on the accelerator pedal.
To turn on the cruise control, push the
switch on. The CRUISE indicator light in the
instrument panel will illuminate.
To set cruising speed, accelerate th ...
Waxing
Regular waxing protects the paint surface and
helps retain new vehicle appearance. Polishing is
recommended to remove built-up wax residue
and to avoid a weathered appearance before
re-applying wax.
A NISSAN dealer can assist you in choosing the
proper product.
Wax your vehicle only afte ...
