Car Forum / Nissan / Nissan Cars / May 200491 Pathfinder brakes question
We are trying to resurrect a neglected 91 Pathfinder (4WD, 360k miles). We have it running well, but are still having problems with the brakes. They stop fine, good pedal, etc, but the ABS light is on all the time, and if you press hard on the brake pedal at idle, it stalls the engine. I don't thik the problems are related, but am not sure. Could the stalling indicate a bad booster or vacuum leak? How can we troubleshoot the ABS?

Fix it with a piece of electrical tape over the light. > > We are trying to resurrect a neglected 91 Pathfinder (4WD, 360k miles). > > We have it running well, but are still having problems with the brakes.

My mechanic (http://www.getitfixed.com/) suggested that it be disconnected. I haven't missed it through two Canadian winters -- or summers, for that matter. -- Andrew Chaplin SIT MIHI GLADIUS SICUT SANCTO MARTINO (If you're going to e-mail me, you'll have to get "yourfinger." out.) > > > We are trying to resurrect a neglected 91 Pathfinder (4WD, 360k miles). > > > We have it running well, but are still having problems with the brakes.

If you are purist, also pull the fuse so the pump doesn't try to run. > On 5/28/04 9:48 PM, in article BRStc.2219$Ba.1163@fe2.columbus.rr.com, > > > How do you disconnect the ABS? > > Piece of tape over the light is the easiest way.
