    Anyone used OBD2?

    Hey all,
    So im interested in servicing my own vehicle. I just got a 2002 Nissan Patrol DX. I was wondering if anyone has used the OBD2 protocol and connected their 4x4 to the laptop to see whats going on if they got an engine light or something? I am very new to this so sorry if this doesnt make too much sense. Appreciate any feedback if possible .

    I haven't as I have a GQ, but have connected to the GQ's consult port using a laptop, most on here use a Scangauge ( http://scangauge.com.au/ ) or similar in their GU's rather than connecting a laptop.

    There are more discussions on this sorta of stuff here: http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forum...rd-Diagnostics

    Cheers

    yeah but different systems are different... plug into the obd2 socket and turn on ignition, cant tell you how to navigate but should have a scan or fault code section , will give u a number and a description. number should be like P0114 look up the code,
    if its worth doin its worth over doin

    You will need an ECU-TALK for the earlier GU's scan gauges are for the CRD.
    Contact Peter from ecu-talk "peter@ecutalk.com.au, price is about $250

    I have a $7 bluetooth OBD2 dongle from ebay and pair it with the Torque app on my android phone. It has the ability to clear fault codes and what not.

    Yes, I only realised this after buying a ScanGauge II before taking delivery of my 2004 TD42. I didn't research it enough and thought 2004 models would use OBD2.
