What C1140 means
ABS actuator relay
On: 2005-2012 Nissan Frontier (D40) · 2004-2014 Nissan Maxima (A34, A35)
Is it the ABS module?
Check the cheap things first: battery voltage and the main fuses for the ABS pump and module, the ground straps, the module connector (corrosion, a pushed-back pin) and, for wheel-speed codes, the sensor and its wiring at each wheel. If those are good and the code returns as soon as it is cleared — or the scan tool cannot talk to the ABS module at all — the module itself is the likely cause, and that is what we repair.
