VEGAZ DL-518 ABS pump

Description

A Nissan ABS pump, also known as the Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) pump, is a crucial component of your vehicle’s braking system. Here’s a brief description:

Function:

• The ABS pump is responsible for modulating the brake pressure during hard braking situations.
• It prevents the wheels from locking up and skidding, allowing you to maintain steering control even during emergency braking.
• This is achieved by rapidly pumping the brakes and adjusting the pressure based on wheel speed sensor inputs.

Location:

• The ABS pump is typically located in the engine compartment near the firewall or under the driver’s side front fender.

Signs of a Faulty ABS Pump:

• ABS warning light on the dashboard stays lit.
• Unusual noises coming from the wheels during braking.
• Increased stopping distance due to wheel lockup.
• Vibration in the brake pedal during hard braking.

Important Notes:

• Replacing an ABS pump can be expensive and often requires professional installation and programming.
• If you suspect an issue with your ABS pump, it’s crucial to consult a qualified mechanic for diagnosis and repair.
• Always refer to your owner’s manual for specific information about your Nissan model and its ABS system.
