Scan tools

[Craig Mc]

Hey guys new to the forums.

I own a 3L DI gu patrol and having some issues with it running. I have used a foxwell NT200 and also a Actron CP9576 but they dont seem to work on my 3l DI. Does anyone know a good scan tool to use or to buy that can actually work on a DI? Cheers, this is my rig atm :thumbup:76146

Mark, was this the EDS tool from Berrima Diesel _ OBD11 compliant?

Craig, the ECU Talk scan tool is widely used for non-CRD ZD30DDTi. Check the diesel compatibility list on the attached link. It also explain the configuration of the Nissan Consult protocol (14 pin connector) pre CRD.

These have USB interface also.

Ahh yes it was too. ECUtalk as you mentioned is the correct tool for the earlier Di's.

I have a Nissan Consult for pre 2000 Patrols together with ECU Talk Software.

Hi Bob, would this work with a 2000 GU with a 4.8 petrol eng? Mine is surging and flat spotting just off idle & is intermittent & would like to do live data. Thanks - Leigh

Yes I believe it will.
If you want to bring it around it will take 5 minutes to hook it up to test

Thanks Bob,
I have been told I need Consult II, I have an OBD2 plug under the dash but it doesn't appear to talk the later language.
Its a bit hard to bring it around as I am in Northern Vic above Shepparton, I do know a guy who lives in Dandenong that I may able to get him to pick it up, is that close to you?
If it doesn't work he could drop it back, he drives a car carrier & comes up regularly. I could send you a prepaid postage bag would that be OK?
I would like to get to the bottom of it really because my next step is a new TPS & that is expensive for an auto trans. as you have to buy the whole throttle body with motors & so forth, the vehicle has done 300K so it could be getting worn in the resistive pots. I do not have a check engine light on & the Nissan dealer cant find anything, have fitted a new MAF sensor & 2 oxy sensors, done the valve shims, set the timing, done the 3 throttle relearns & still has this intermittent lean mixture just off idle & it even mucks the auto changes up when it happens, other than that it drives perfect 90% of the time.
Cheers for your help- Leigh

Bob if it doesn't work with LeighC I'll grab it, my Patrol is what you had.

Hi Guys.

I have the software loaded on a Laptop and am not sure if it can be transferred to another Computer. The Nissan Consult for connection to the Obd plug under the dash worked with my 1998 4.5 L Patrol.

I don't want to cause any problems with Software Licence


Still available subject to Licence restrictions

If to want to test I am available in Pakenham.

As far as I am aware Bob ECU Talk is a free program, so no restrictions. Who ever you sell / give your plug 2 can just download the software free of charge from ECU Talks website. If you have concerns about it just email Peter

Thanks Bob, I will try to get down an see you one day but I am 3 hours away, the cable I was told I needed to connect with that worked well was called a Blatz cable but it appears it is no longer available. I would of thought if it worked with yours with the OBDII plug it would do mine, Is your an auto?
I have tried Nissan DataScan ii (trial program) & it wont deliver all the data I need. The problem appears to be the first of the TB48DE's in a GU TI Patrol (09/2000) with 5 speed auto trans & only 2 oxy sensors. It has an OBDII socket but runs a different protocol. I want to read live data for TPS, Variable intake, MAF airflow meter, Ig. timing, & variable cam timing, driving down the road when this lean spot occurs.
Thanks for others info & will try ECU talk also.
Cheers Leigh

Just an update. I bought this scan tool, a Foxwell NT614 and it works well with my 3l DI patrol. Cheers everyone.
