Ok here is the deal. The ABS light came on and I'm trying to pull the
trouble codes to see if I can get an idea of where the issue might be. I
understand that you can ground the L terminal and it will output the
trouble codes. Problem is..I'm not exactly sure where the data link is??
The hayes manual shows the connector to exist next to the fuse box but its
not there on my 2001. Would this be the same data link that is used by the
OBD-II scantools?
If so, then how on earth do I locate the 'L' terminal?
Thanks,

Ok I did some digging and figured it out. The data link connector is
in fact the connector you would normally hook a scan tool up to and
pull trouble codes from the computer.
Now, for those interested, to pull the ABS trouble codes perform the
following steps...
1. Drive the car for 20 seconds at a speed above 20 MPH.
2. Turn the car off and pay special attention to not hit the break
pedal.
3. Ground pin '8' on the data link connector.
4. Turn the ignition to the on position. The ABS light will begin to
flash.
I was able to find the codes and the meanings in my Hayes manual.
Turned out to be a left front open circuit. Now its time to test that
out.

the fuse panel should have a small grey connector on right side .altho the
car is obdII compliant it still uses the nissan 2 adapter <snap on scanner>
