Hope someone may have an answer who browses here. Before going the full on Link ECU route or sending the car off to UP Garage here in the states, I wanted to do some checks on my 94 R32 GTR using the consult port.
TLDR: Consult Port not connecting to ECU no matter what I tried, even splicing direct into the cable and hardwiring the USB adapters.
I currently have cable wise:
- 1x PLMS Consult Cable
- 1x Ebay Consult Cable
- Nisscan/ECUTalk/Nistune/Conzult Software
Before my tests:
- Made sure all software and drivers were correct
- Made sure that the Power and RX lights were showing that they were functioning from the correct Windows COM port (for both cables)
- Read all of the Nistune connection error docs
- Made sure there was continuity between the ECU and the Consult Port on ECU Pins:
--Pin 21: RX (Yellow/Green Stripe)
--Pin 22: TX (Yellow)
--Pin 31: Clock (Yellow/Red Stripe)
--Pin 45: Ignition (Black/Red)
--Pin 50: Ground (Black)
- My ECU is STOCK as far as I am aware, with the Nissan stickers still sealed around it.
- Checked that the Clock is at the specified 153Khz rate on both adapters
-Baud rate of 9600
Tests done with Both cables
Test 1:
- Plugged in Consult Cable to Port in Fuse Box, Plugged into laptop, open up ECUtalk, select COM port for the device (usually 3 or 4 for my system)
- Hit connect, the RX light blinks, then nothing.
Test 2:
- Plugged in Consult Cables etc etc, Opened up Nissan Datascan, selected the correct COM Port, and then hit FIND ECU.
- Nothing is registered when it does the scan, nor when I select connect.
Test 3:
- Got fed up trying all the different methods and driver reinstalls/trying different COM ports so I decided to chop the TX/RX/CLK wires right by the ECU and add quick connects. (with Ignition and Ground coming from a separate spot that one of my gauges is hooked up to)
- Even when Plugged directly into the harness right next to the ECU, the ECU does not respond or send out a TX signal to the adapter.
At this point I don't know what else do to try and get the ECU to respond to my adapters. Any ideas? Anyone else had any luck with Datascan and their Consult Port?
