Thanks, that is very helpful and puts our minds at ease.
Thanks again for the information.

1999 Nissan Quest.
Had funny brake noise, brake light on, and abs sometimes coming on.
So trying to make this a quick job for a good customer... but it IS NISSAN,
which is the WORSE brand vehicle for parts and BS of all the vehicles I work
on...
Red brake light on because fluid not high enough... closer to MAX than MIN,
but not good enough for NISSAN. Add fluid, light out, OK.
Funny brake noise turned out to be abs tone ring on driver side axle
flopping about... cracked and no longer tight on the axle. ABS light had
come on driving it here. Change axle shaft. OK. All is done, except
stupid ABS light still on. SNAP-ON scanner says short pin L in the Nissan
connector at fuse panel to ground. NO CONNECTOR in that hole (4th one
across the top). OR, it says for clearing codes use that pin OR pin 9 in
the obdII connector. NO CONNECTOR for that pin number. Mitchell says same
thing except to use pin 4 on obdII. Tried that, DOES NOT WORK. HOW MANY
HOURS DO I WANT TO MESS WITH THIS PIECE OF CRAP?????? I'm coming up on ALL
DAY to change an axle shaft unless I'm going to bill him my time to search
out STUPID NISSAN PITA GARBAGE. So, it goes back to him with light still on
and I'll tell him "it may stay on, it may go out".
If I can find a solution from here, I'll fix that another time when I have
it here again. If not, I'll tell him it's NISSAN and he should buy
something else anyway. THIS has been a total piece of JUNK since he bought
it.

OK, you hate Nissan. I get that. You used two aftermarket diagnostic tools
that were both wrong. I get that. For the amount of time & vitriol you've
invested already, you could've gone to Nissan-techinfo.com & downloaded the
actualy factory service manual pages you need to diagnose it.
Btw - you do know that the '90s Nissan Quest was a joint venture with Ford?
That car was built on a Ford line with the Ford version of the same thing
(Mercury Villager). Maybe it would be more palatable to you if you think of
it as a Ford in disguise.
I think, though, given your apparent attitude, the best thing you can do for
your customer is to tell him "sorry, don't work on Nissans".
