Hi all, I have a warning light on my dash which shows the engine, it is the first time for it to be on for me. The wife came to start the car this morning and she noticed the light was on so she let me know. I am concerned about it, i contacted my local dealer but they are not sure if there consult ii obd scanner will pick up the model as the vehicle is not a locally manufactured one,is this true that the scanner may not be able to read my ecu? I have a Haynes manual for the 350Z and G35 and they talk about obdii scanners and they mention a actron brand. I would like to buy a scanner but would like to know that i am buying the correct scanner that will read my Nissan, does anyone know which brand would be the best and at the same time reasonabley affordable. I can deffinatly rule out the maxi-scan ms509 as my brother-inlaw sent my father one and it cannot link to my Nissan, all it say's is linking error try again and thats all it say's time after time.Does the engine light just come on as soon as it pick's up a fault or is there a time frame that if a fault occures it is delayed because if the light was not on when we last used the car then it comes on now after it has stood for plus minus 2 weeks when we start it , this doesn't make sense as how can a fault arise when the vehicle has been off, if anyone has any advice i would greatly appreciate it. Cheers RICHARD
