Infiniti FX35 ABS System Parts
Nissan released the second generation SUV known as the Infiniti FX for the 2009 model year, with the FX35 distinguishing the V6 model from the FX50 V8 model. The Infiniti FX35 makes use of an Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) as a vehicle safety feature. There are repair and replacement auto parts for all Infiniti vehicles, including Infiniti FX35 parts for the ABS brake system.
What is an ABS system used on the Infiniti FX35?ABS is an abbreviation used for Anti-lock Braking System (also called anti-skid braking system). This system allows for the transmission of driver input during braking while also preventing the SUV from locking up and skidding. This process is automatic and is a standard safety feature included on most vehicles, including the FX35. The parts that make up the ABS include a control unit (ECU), hydraulic valves, and speed sensors. If the control unit senses a tire turning slower than others, it will reduce the brake force on that wheel. If the unit senses one tire turning faster than the others, it will increase the brake force on that wheel. This process is repeated many times per second, which prevents an ABS-equipped vehicle from locking up.
How do you replace an ABS sensor on Infiniti FX35?Replacing an ABS detector on an automobile, including the Infiniti FX35, requires only a few steps to complete. It is recommended to consult a service manual that is written for the model year of your FX for any possible specifics for the installation. Note that once the process is complete, you will want to turn the SUV on to verify there are no ABS messages, and then test drive your Infiniti. Begin by using a jack to lift the tire completely off of the ground. Next, remove the tire so that you have access to the brake assembly and steering knuckle. Locate the ABS detector wire, and follow it down to the sensor location on the knuckle. From there, you can follow these steps:
- Unbolt the part from the knuckle.
- Disconnect the wire parts from any connection points up to the wire harness connection.
- Unclip the wire parts from the wire harness connection, and then bolt the new part into the steering knuckle.
- Connect the wire parts to any connection points up to the wire harness connection.
- Clip the wire parts to the harness connection, replace the tire, bolt it back onto the Infiniti FX35, and then lower the jack.
