*****Dealer Announcement*****
Nissan is conducting a dealer inventory quality action to add a relay to the stop lamp CHMSL
harness and reprogram the ABS control module on specific MY2022-2023 Nissan Frontier
vehicles identified in Service Comm and National Service History – Open Campaigns to prevent
against a potential no start condition. Use the attached procedure to remedy any vehicles
affected by this quality action prior to sale.
Affected vehicles are subject to stop sale and are either currently in dealer inventory or assigned
and in transit to the dealer.
*****What Dealers Should Do*****
PLEASE FOLLOW THE ATTACHED INSTRUCTIONS:
1.
Verify if vehicles are affected by this quality action using Service Comm or DBS National
Service History – Open Campaigns I.D. PC929
• New vehicles in dealer inventory can also be identified using DBS (Sales-> Vehicle
Inventory, and filter by Open Campaign).
 Refer to NPSB 15-460 for additional information
• Please continue to check newly arriving inventory for campaign applicability.

2.
Please do not drive, loan, sell or trade the specific vehicles in dealer inventory subject to
this quality action.
3.
Use the attached procedure to remedy any vehicles affected by this quality action prior
to sale.
4.
Once remedied, dealers should submit the applicable warranty claim for the action
performed to close the campaign notice in Service Comm/NSH and release the vehicle
for sale.
***** Dealer Responsibility *****
It is the dealer’s responsibility to check Service Comm or DBS National Service History – Open
Campaign using the appropriate campaign ID for the campaign status on each affected vehicle
currently in new vehicle inventory.

53.
Strip about 10 mm (0.4 in.) of
insulation from the ends of the wires.
NOTE:
• Use the correct size opening in the
wire crimper tool so you won’t cut off
any strands of wire.
• Less strands reduce the ability of
the wire to handle the expected
electrical load.

so that the solder ring (in the
connector) is centered around the
exposed twisted wire area (Figure 56).
Figure 56
To avoid the risk of minor personal injury or property damage:
•
The flameless heat gun and the solder sleeve connectors become HOT during the
soldering process. Allow the gun and connectors to cool down before handling
them.
•
Be careful not to damage the solder sleeve connector or wires with the heat gun.
•
Do NOT apply heat for more than 40 seconds.
•
Do NOT overheat the connector or wires (i.e., severe darkening of connector
sleeve or wire insulation).
57.
1.
Use the special tool Flameless Heat
Gun J-46538 to heat the solder sleeve
connector.
This operation will:
o Melt the solder (silver ring
inside the solder sleeve
connector) into the exposed
twisted wire area.
o Melt the sealant (red rings
inside solder connector) onto
the wires.
o Shrink the plastic sleeve onto
the wires.
Figure 57
Important Soldering Tips:
o Position the solder sleeve connector in the middle of the heat gun’s heat
shield.
o Start heating the connector from the center and move back and forth (side to
side) and around to allow even distribution of the heat to the entire connector.
o Make sure the solder completely flows into the exposed twisted wires and the
adhesive properly seals the wire insulation to the connector sleeve. Stop
applying the heat immediately after this happens.
CONFIRM THE CURRENT ABS CONTROL MODULE PART NUMBER
IMPORTANT: Before starting, make sure:
•
ASIST on the C-III plus has been synchronized (updated) to the current date.
•
All C-III plus software updates (if any) have been installed.
•
Connect a battery maintainer or smart charger set to reflash mode or a
similar setting. If the vehicle battery voltage drops below 12.0V or rises
above 15.5V during reprogramming, the ABS Control Unit may be
damaged.
•
Be sure to turn off all vehicle electrical loads.
If a vehicle electrical load remains on, the ABS Control Unit may be
damaged.
•
Be sure to connect the AC Adapter.
If the C-III plus battery voltage drops during reprogramming, the process
will be interrupted and the ABS Control Unit may be damaged.
•
Turn off all external Bluetooth® devices (e.g., cell phones, printers, etc.)
within range of the C-III plus and the VI. If Bluetooth® signal waves are
within range of the C-III plus or VI during reprogramming, reprogramming
may be interrupted and the ABS Control Unit may be damaged.
