Nissan's factory tool is now called a Consult III (3) plus. That is the Consult port.įrom the Consult port in an R32 you can read the ECU, Hicas, and power steering. If you pull that cover off, and look in the upper left hand area above the fuse block, you will see a grey connector. Approximately above where your right knee is located. In the R32 the Consult port is located in the fusebox area, drivers side. The 1989-2002 Nissan Skyline GT-R all have a Nissan diagnostic connector called a Consult connector, or Consult port. The catalytic converter overtemp light, doubles as a check engine light There are still cars sold in some parts of the world- in 2019 that don't have OBD II.Ĭonsult port location on an R32. The rest of the world, may have had cars with OBD II connectors around the same time, but generally in Japan, you didn't see them till around 2002. Still most do, but the generic OBD II has become universal in the USA. Prior to OBD II each manufacturer had their own tool, their own connector. That was a more universal type engine computer scan tool/system/language/connector. In the USA, cars 1996 and up had OBD II, or on board diagnostics II.

This is something some of us old folk have to repeat to ourselves, when some new Nissan Skyline owner asks where they can plug an OBD II scanner into their car. The only problem is that when you buy an ECU from a junkyard, they usually don’t provide/know the BCM serial number from the car that the ECU came from.Old cars, young people. The software requires the serial number from the BCM that the ECU came from. Well, now you can finally add your own keys to the car and/or re-program a used ECU’s to the car.įor those who don’t know the PIN, the PIN can be decoded using a software called “Nissan SuperCode”.

Normally, the PIN is provided to you when you buy the car but most people lose it. More Info on Nissan Datascan & ODB2 Cable: This is particularly useful for those who have to replace their ECU and don’t feel like going to the dealership and dropping $100 to get the ECU programmed to their key/immo (or those who simply want to add more keys to their car). This means that you can use a BlaZt cable to re-initialize the NATS on any Maxima of those years. Every 99-03 Maxima uses the same PIN for the NATS. Super simple! We’ve done 4thgens, 5thgens, 6thgens and Altima SE-Rs. Place charge anywhere between $50-$150 to do this procedure. UPDATE: Septem– We’ve programmed various ECUs this year and programming worked 100%.
