Both front calipers will apply pressure but they won't release. Tried to compress with a C clamp and still NG unless I opened the bleed screw. Compressed both pistons and reassembled. Still have the same issue.
What's next?

True then, but make sure the pedal switch didn't stick and isn't holding the pedal slightly. That's usually a Sentra issue, but worth taking a look.Headnsouth wrote: ↑Fri Aug 12, 2022 8:36 amAs far as brake pedal adjustment, what is there to adjust? It's never been touched.
I did adjust the rear E brake but that's all.
I just checked the FSM and your ABS is only designed to talk to the Consult2, not a regular CAN or K-line link. The codes it outputs are proprietary and only a C2 or C3+ will know what they mean.

How are you bleeding it? It needs to be done top-down, first the Master at both fittings, then the ABS at the entry fittings, then the four ABS exit fittings, then the wheels. Air caught high up in the system often won't push out just by bleeding the wheels, it percolates back up the lines.Headnsouth wrote: ↑Sun Aug 14, 2022 12:07 pmNew MC and the brakes are crap. Can't seem to build up consistent pressure. I've ran a quart of BF through the system and the pedal is mush. Disconnected the neg terminal on battery and bled, no difference. Not much force or quantity of BF when I bleed either.![]()

These are scan tools that'll be able to check for ABS issues on my vehicle? Any scan tool you would recommend?
I hadn't read about all of those different bleed points but it makes sense. I'll give it a shot. ThxVStar650CL wrote: ↑Sun Aug 14, 2022 12:44 pmHow are you bleeding it?

I honestly don't know about a scanner, we have a working C2 at the shop and I'd be using that. All I can gather is that the codes are Nissan-proprietary, so the FSM isn't helpful and it's likely only something very high-end will be able to translate them into CAN-speak.
