Vmax,
I am fairly sure that the Scangauge only fits the later model Patrols, such as the 3 Litre CRD.
Before that ECUTalk was the protocol that was used for the 3 Litre Di Patrol, and Petrol Models here in Aus.
I am not sure if even that fits the 4.2 Litre Patrol...... Nissan have their Consult 2 Tool which I think works in conjunction with , but with the Auto, ECUTalk may apply to yours........

Agreed, i'd missed the fact that it was for a 4.2. Scanguage is no good for youQuote:

Hey mate, interested to see what you come up with
So would I because a proper Nissan scan tool will probably cost thousands, so would be interesting to see what they come up withQuote:

The funny part is no errors showed up, but we 'cleared all error codes manually' any way and guess what 90 % of my AT problems sorted itself out. She now accelerates beautifully from stand still to OD. while checking all systems individually the only thing we noticed was that the kick down switch didnt work, need to sort that one out :confused:
Very happy with this and now looking forward to installing the froozenboost intercooler kit which is 'in the mail' :bigthumbup:
Good to hear you have most of your problems sorted :)
Can you post up pics of your scan tool and adapter???
How much did the scan tool cost you???
Cheers

I use a Nissan Consult Bluetooth Adapter from http://www.trackelectronics.com.au/, work's well with my nexus7 and my laptop. Torque's consult support is in beta so it can be a bit buggy.
Does it come with its own software for reading and clearing fault codes?Quote:
