2004 PROTOCOL used

[threedogs]

Hi all having an 04 Patrol puts this model at the cross roads of OBD2 ,OBD11 protocol diagnostics.
I've sent off a few emails to different companies selling diagnostic products like Scangauge etc.
Question is does anyone know if the 2004 uses any of the following protocols
ISO 14230-4 [canbus]
ISO 14230-4 kwp2000
ISO 9141-2
J 1850 vpw
J 1850 pwm
Any help would be great

Does OBD11 - OBDII which is the same as OBD2 or did you mean OBD1? *L*

Have you looked for the plug John???

Have also moved this thread to the On board diagnostics section

[threedogs]

Yeah typo, but one mob I emailed gave me those "protocols"
Now just need to figure out which suits the 2004 model.
even though I have the OBD2 port under the steering doesn't mean its OBD2 protocols
I believe mine has 14 wires

Yours is the 3.0Di???

[threedogs]

Yes, build date is May 2004

John I reckon you would be best of to send Chaz a PM and see if he replies ( hasn't been on here for a while ), he has played around with the 3 liters interface even though his is a different year model to yours

Have a read of his write up: http://www.chaz.yellowfoot.org/Consult%20Interface.htm

Sorry cant give you much more than that at the moment

Here are the current 5 protocols used in OBD:

1. SAE J1850-VPWM: Widely used on GM cars.
2. SAE J1850-PWM: Widely used on Ford cars.
3. ISO 14230/KWP 2000.
4. ISO 9141-2: Widely used by Europian and Japanese/Asian car makers.
5. ISO 15765-4/CAN: This is the current standard for cars made/sold in North America bejginning in 2008. Beginning in 1/1/2006, cars made/sold in AU/NZ must be OBD II compliant.

Nissan Motors have always used the ISO protocols. So for your 2004 Patrol, I would say its either ISO9141 (as in my 02 Altima) or ISO14230. Or it may be CAN compliant and your scan tool is not. When buying a Scanner, look for these phrases: support all 5 protocols or CAN compliant. hope this helps.

No rush but keen to get some sort of diagnostic tool soon,
Thanks for your time on this too mate

EdIT:: PM sent now to wait

[NissanGQ4.2]

No worries mate, hope he gets back to you

Been over on Ebay looking for compatible diagnostic scanners.
some say look under bonnet for emission sticker which will tell you if OBD2 or not

[threedogs]

Received a reply from one mob over in Adelaide called "AUTO GAUGE" so now has anyway
have horror stories or any feedback would be great $$$$$ was $129 looks a bit old fashioned to me

[NissanGQ4.2]

Never heard of em

Can't enlarge your pic, got any links to any webpages for them?

They look like a scangauge

Ok up date I've been in contact with Chaz {guru}, and he informs me
I require The ECUtalk, Chaz has a complete onboard computer diagnostics on his Patrol.
Certainly a piece of work and well thought out. Now all I need are contacts for Peter from
ECUtalk to get ball rolling

[NissanGQ4.2]

Yes Chaz has done a very good job on his onboard computer system, glad 2 hear he got back 2 you :)

Don't think there is any numbers for Peter just an email addy
