alternative way to clear ABS codes ?

[sundown57]

OK so manual says on a 2000 terra ground pin 8, well that blows a fuse. I found in here someone said ground 9, so I did and that got me the codes. Problem now is nothing I do will clear the codes. I grounded 9, 3 times but didn't work, So if the book is wrong on the correct pin maybe is wrong on how to clear the codes too. can anyone tell me some other terminals I can short to clear the codes? Thanks

Can’t you just get a code reader off Amazon for $35 and use it to clear the codes? Or is that not a thing on the older Xterra’s?

you need a bit more expensive one for abs codes like $150 or better. I have one but it will not clear the codes on this one. It wont even read them, it gave me a code of 51 and thats not even listed in nissan repair manual. when i do a manual I get 17,25,31,and 57 I find it hard to believe all 4 at once.

Huh, interesting. Having a bunch of codes at once is usually indicative of an issue with the module going bad, or some loose/crappy connection.

well i also just found out that early 00 terra's use a different wheel sensor than later 00 , mine is a 99 but i put an 04 computer in it so now im thinking that might be an issue, asked for help in here but never got any,

That’s actually a good possibility. I watched an episode of The South Main Auto Channel on youtube, where they swapped an ECU from a junkyard into a Frontier, and had all kinds of problems.
