Re:
That's because Nissan are very effective in protecting their information and the ECU details.

Re: Nissan Consult & ECU Readers
Android technology seems to be the way to go, some owners are reporting Torque works on ISO OBDII vehicles, and as you are aware I am working on the Consult II connection using Car Guage Pro which will read pre ISO diesels too
I used an ELM 327 V1.4 Bluetooth plugged in to the OBD output and it connects to the ECU. Once set up you can use the gauges to give you feed back on things like throttle sensor problems to your actual RPM being read by the ECU.
Issac who built the app :bow: has been working on getting the information out of the ECU, the results which you can see here on PDF file showing a comparison between CGP and Consult II outputs on my YD, you should get the full monty on ISO compliant vehicles.
CGP Forum - Consult II for Nissan X-Trail YD
I do not have access to a Consult II, so Issac would like more data from anyone who is intrested in having a fully functional app for the X-Trail
If you want to use the app, you need an Android phone, and the ELM 327 BT connection. The app it's self costs £3.77 GBP. The app will automaticly update as Issac adds to the functionality of the app. You will need ELM 327 V1.4 or better if you do not have one. I bought my on ebay.
I have tested the DTC function by disconnecting the MAF, and then reconnecting it. Car Guage Pro read the error code and cleared it :biggrin: If you have the dreaded orange light it may be worth you trying the app.
If you do use the app and have success let me know, and please post it on the Car Guage Pro forum too. Please include not only vehicle details, engine, year and spec, but also what phone and version of Android you have used. This will help other X-Trail owners and iron out any bugs :biggrin:

Hope this helps...

Re: Nissan Consult & ECU Readers
I have just received the Scantool (USB version) & loaded the drivers onto my trusty XP laptop.
http://www.scantool.net/obdlink-sx.html
Ran the OBDWiz software supplied , connected and was able to observe the P0488 EGR error code (see Diesel forum for EGR cleaning).
Saved the details and cleared the code. Surprising amount of data such as when it occurred and how far vehicle has been driven since error logged.
Also has a dashboard view which gives a realtime readout of several sensors, including fuel rail pressure etc.
This is going to be interesting

Re: Nissan Consult & ECU Readers
Hi, just wanted to give you a heads-up, I have a 2008 T30 with QR25DE engine and Consult II protocol, not OBD, although the connector is the same 16 pin one. The Android apps that do work are HobDrive, Car Gauge Pro, Nissan Gauge and the one I use the most, Econ Tool, which is no longer available on the Play Store, but you can search "4PDA Econ Tool Scoba" and you will find it. The scanner I have is a PLX Kiwi Bluetooth, which works quite well.

Re: Nissan Consult & ECU Readers
Has anyone tried a cheap bluetooth ELM327 scanner on a newer T31 such as my 2012 2.5 ST? I've been googling away but can't find exactly which protocol it uses.
Although apparently the device supports "all OBDII protocols" I find it dubious.
