In this video I have a look at a 2001 Nissan Frontier that cam in with an ABS and SES light on. The ABS Code 4 indicating a problem in the dump circuit seems to go pretty well but I really drop the bomb while diagnosing the P0456. Then again, I am only human ๐Ÿ˜‰ -Enjoy!

    Watch many of your vides. Thank you for a great job.

  7. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Mytwistedvoices says:

    I had a Fiero. It blinked the codes too!

  8. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Salvador Napoles says:

    one of the important things left out on this video is where did you get the abs hydraulic unit since nissan doesn't stock that part anymore and cardone industries doesn't have a replacement for imports.

  9. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Doug Fields says:

    What a coincidence,I have seen that rear number plate before on another vehicle.

  10. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Donald Swink says:

    Hi Eric, how do you know so much about wiring. To me it just looks like a bunch of spaghetti.

  11. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars James Faison says:

    Just use some Panther pee. That usually works! Lol

  12. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars KingRatt says:

    Torch the spare off? It is useless anyways.

  13. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Jeremy Harrington says:

    My Frontier wont go into gear, and I just bought it yesterday and drove around with no problems. Go to drive it today and it wont go into gear. I feel like Im gonna break my shifter if I pull it down too hard

  14. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Luis Acevedo says:

    That's why is good to double check.. like you did.. w.t.g….

  15. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars A Physics Professor says:

    Anyone else notice the sticker on the tailgate? Fred Beans. The beans came to SMA for this one.

  16. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars vickbrosfilms says:

    nice video

  17. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Frank Newling says:

    You need to spray the he'll out of that thing now, in case you get the job. Likely you will if he's using his head.

  18. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Kinsey Madeline says:

    Note to self: Don't but a used New York car. ๐Ÿ˜œ๐Ÿ’•

  19. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars General R. E. Lee says:

    That's a nice Vanity plate that the truck has,,

  20. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Jeff DeWitt says:

    Nice work on Mrs. O's part with the subtile ad for your church.

  21. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars wickedvalve1 says:

    I feel fortunate to live in the dallas fort worth area where we rarely get snow or ice. Rust on vehicles down here is very uncommon seeing how the roads might get salted once every four or five years. I've had cars that are more than 25 years old and not have a trace of rust.

  22. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Mike Michaels says:

    What did the president want?

  23. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Bob Fraley says:

    I need some one to repair my 99 silverado from NY I have had it for 6 years and gas gauge still doesn`t work I`m disabled and unable to work on it more than 30 minutes then I`m done I`m in ne ohio

  24. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Shared Knowledge says:

    It's sad Nissan puts a fake spare tire on a truck where you might have a payload in the bed, be towing, be off road and far from the nearest tire shop, etc. It's yet another reason the Frontier has mostly been dead last in small truck sales.

  25. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Dubiel says:

    Who is on the phone, the President? Mrs O just shrugs. Haha – That cracked me up!

  26. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Fred Crews says:

    Do you recommend rust-proofing to prevent a car that otherwise would run fine at this age from going to the crusher? And, if so, what do you find works best? Situation here in MA is equally as bad.

  27. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Mike's World says:

    For a minute there I thought I was watching a movie about the Titanic. Man o Man that vehicle rusty. I can't imagine that vehicle is safe to drive. we are sure spoiled here where i live.

  28. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Mike's World says:

    Eric doesn't make mistakes, he has to edit in mistakes to make him look human. He is after all the Chuck Norris of the Auto repair world.

  29. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Adam Trombino says:

    Ahhh the ol count the flashes routine. So long as you have the data chart, works ok. I kept my Red Brick around just to test old OBD1 cars as well as the basic RWAL systems that cannot be accessed through the OBD2 port. I have a bag full of the connector adaptors. Papa always said "Never get rid of a tool. You'll need it as soon as it's gone." Also, nice self check on the purge sol. I thought I was crazy when I was thinking, it's not power side switched when you described the diagram… Oh well, you showed us that we all make 'happy mistakes' from time to time ๐Ÿ˜‰

  30. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Triggerman1976 says:

    A guy I worked with had his Chevy Avalanche totaled because it was from the rusty-crusty part of the world because corrosion ate through his ABS valve body and there were none available to replace it.

  31. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars toroon01 001 says:

    Record the fix. If he doesn't fix it, show it being CRUSHED

  32. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars GunfighterWyo says:

    Would you consider doing a spark plug change on a 2014 Ford F-150 with the 3.7 engine?ย  Would love to see you do it.

  33. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Jack Patteeuw says:

    I find it interesting that you are using the Power Probe IV a lot BUT, you are not using it in the "traditional" sense (injecting power into a component). I certainly hope the rest of your viewer understand this !

  34. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars brian kotze says:

    You do not have to be so concerned about letting the viewers know about fixing your poke holes. It's only the idiot's that know nothing that will comment about it. Ah did you see that he poked a hole and didn't fix it. Keep up the good work

  35. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars mike fedele says:

    That valve looks identical to that of one I seen in the wrecking yard on a Chevy. Wish I could remember which one. Those lines looked "good". I miss flash code reminds me of the old school honda/Toyota stuff from when I was apprentice oh the glory years.

  36. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars aaronshandc says:

    Kenny Wayne on SMA

  37. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars SouthernGritz says:

    I'm old enough to remember when the current Nissan was…Datsun. A game of Space Invaders, anyone?

  38. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Robert Ibbotson says:

    Do you ever get any other europian cars in other than vw's. I have a vaxuhall and the gear box went on me after 108 thousand miles apparently its commen in the type i have.

  39. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Rodney Farmer says:

    I need you to get out the gas ax and pull the rusty spare tire down.

  40. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars JackM says:

    Can you post a video to show us how to exam Toyota ATF temperature and replace the ATF fluid for the model w/o a dipstick? Best w/o expensive scan tool. Thank you

  41. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Mike Barnes says:

    I learn as much from what you decide not to do as I do from what you do. You are a great teacher! Thank you

  42. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Gary Bamsch says:

    Eric. Love these videos.

  44. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Real World Garage says:

    Hey brother, everyone has a brain fart every now and again. Btw, Iโ€™m so glad I donโ€™t live in the rust belt. I canโ€™t imagine the BS you have to go through to deal with rusty bull ship!!! Enjoy your channel.

  45. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Jay says:
