These are the vehicles I've had (wife included): '92 S-10, '95 Dakota, '96 Maxima, '01 Tundra, '06 Silverado, '01 Camry, '03 CR-V, and '06 Trailblazer. NONE of these had this sound. Is the ABS booster made out of tin in a Frontier? I have '07 Frontier Crew 2wd SWB Automatic and it does it too. Well, if all of yours does it too, then I guess it's nothing to worry about regardless of what it is. Please post a comment if you have any machanical failures as a result of whatever makes this sound.
ABS self test definitely.


I've had 3 nissan frontiers in the last 3 years, and they have all made this sound. Its perfectly normal, We may need to make the ABS cluck a sticky, because it keeps coming up.

Have you ever activated your ABS? Go out some time and a do a full Emergency stop with full pedal push from 50 miles an hour....ABS IS LOUD. First thing I do with every vehicle I drive is do a full ABS stop with it, so I'm I know the limits of vehicle, get comfortable with the sounds. Very usefull.
