Did you bleed the system as directed in the factory service manual? Bleeding procedure is not the typical go from the farthest out to the closest to the master cylinder like older vehicles. Also, the ABS actuator may need to be disabled or battery cable disconnected.

Your best bet would be to download a service manual for your Pathfinder. You can download loose sections in the knowledge base at NissanHelp.com. Most of the later model, Nissan trucks with ABS require disconnecting the battery cable (to disable the ABS system) and bleeding in the order of: right-rear, left-front, left-rear, right-front. That said, consult the service manual to be sure.
