OK so a while back, i started playing around with the settings in Nissan Datascan

Then it stopped showing the sensors, despite everything else working.. wasn't sure what caused this so tried playing around with the settings

i accidentally changed to COM port to 4, and now when i tart it up, it says "runtime error 8002: wrong port"

and then it closes down so i can't change back to COM port 1 !!!

i tried uninstallingthe program, resetting, then re-installing, but it retains the old settings rather than reverting to default settings!

can anyone help me??

cheers,

Warren

The port selection might be stored in the registry of your computer. An uninstall should clear the setting but may not. You could try running regedit and have a look around for anything that resembles settings for the Datascan software, but be vary cafefull not to F*ck with anything not related with the nissan stuff or you could screw your computer.

Alternatively the port setting might be stored in a .INI file some where on your HD. I have never used the software so dont really know for sure, but I write software for a living and those two places are where I would store such a setting. maybe searching for Datascan.ini or nissan.ini might yeld some results. Also have a look in "program files" for the install directory, there might be a datafile in there with the setting.

just guessing though, as I said I dont know anything about the Datascan software...

i understand the Datascan is on your laptop mate! :) and was just trouble shooting a bit !

Logicly i was thinking you may have altered a bios setting in the Actual Nissan ECU if it was possible. Maybe its not? as i am just guessing like GunMetalR33 stated.

laptop....

GunmetalR33 gave good advice for program trace removal . I will add that sometimes it may be called another name in the program files other than Datascan, example "NISSAN" mo.

use search registry for "Datascan" and install files by date if you get what i mean

*.ini , *.bat "*" being datascan related.

If your on Xp system restore.

Is there a free download ,Support, FAQ of it somewhere so i can work out how to reset it for you ?

oh hang on here it is!

Read the SUPPORT SECTION it explains it perfectly

Update after install

Path to program files > C:\Program Files\Nissan Data Scan

registry serch > from commandline > run > regedit > Edit > Find > Datascan > remove values

1. When I start the NDS software I get an error message and the application shuts down.

You have probably entered a wrong COM port number and ticked the "Auto connect to ECU" option. To fix the problem you will need to reset the registry settings.

* Go to start->Run and type regedit.

* Go to "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\VB and VBA Program Settings\NDataScan" and delete the whole NDataScan entry.

* Close the Registry Editor and try running the software again. It will save the default settings to the registry file.

Don't tick the "Auto connect to ECU" option until you successfully establish a connection.

Warning: Take note of your Activation Key, you will need to re-enter it to activate the software.

2. When I click the Connect button I get an error message and the application shuts down.

You have probably entered an invalid COM port number. Try changing the "Port" setting in "Communication" to a port that you know exists.

i cant get past the key at the moment so thats as far as i go :woot:

    • Great interview on damper settings and coil selection by HPA https://www.facebook.com/HPAcademy/videos/30284693841175196/?fs=e&s=TIeQ9V&fs=e
    • Yeah, it was a pretty deep dig.
    • The values for HID colour are also defined ~ see https://www.legislation.gov.au/F2006L02732/latest/text  ~ goto section 3.9 onwards ....
    • So, if the headlights' cutoff behaviour (angles, heights, etc) are not as per 6.2.6.1.1 without automatic levelling, then you have to have to have automatic** levelling. Also, if the headlight does not have the required markings, then neither automatic nor manual adjusters are going to be acceptable. That's because the base headlight itself does not meet the minimum requirement (which is the marking). ** with the option of manual levelling, if the headlight otherwise meets the same requirements as for the automatic case AND can be set to the "base" alignment at the headlight itself. So that's an additional requirement for the manual case. So, provided that the marking is on the headlight and there is a local manual adjustment back to "base" on the headlight, then yes, you could argue that they are code compliant. But if you are missing any single one of these things, then they are not. And unlike certain other standards that I work with, there does not seem to be scope to prepare a "fitness for purpose" report. Well, I guess there actually is. You might engage an automotive engineer to write a report stating that the lights meet the performance requirements of the standard even if they are missing, for example, the markings.  
    • Vertical orientation   6.2.6.1.1. The initial downward inclination of the cut off of the dipped-beam to be set in the unladen vehicle state with one person in the driver's seat shall be specified within an accuracy of 0.1 per cent by the manufacturer and indicated in a clearly legible and indelible manner on each vehicle close to either headlamp or the manufacturer's plate by the symbol shown in Annex 7.   The value of this indicated downward inclination shall be defined in accordance with paragraph 6.2.6.1.2.   6.2.6.1.2. Depending on the mounting height in metres (h) of the lower edge of the apparent surface in the direction of the reference axis of the dipped beam headlamp, measured on the unladen vehicles, the vertical inclination of the cut off of the dipped- beam shall, under all the static conditions of Annex 5, remain between the following limits and the initial aiming shall have the following values:   h < 0.8   Limits: between 0.5 per cent and 2.5 per cent   Initial aiming: between 1.0 per cent and 1.5 per cent   0.8 < h < 1.0   Limits: between 0.5 per cent and 2.5 per cent   Initial aiming: between 1.0 per cent and 1.5 per cent   Or, at the discretion of the manufacturer,   Limits: between 1.0 per cent and 3.0 per cent   Initial aiming: between 1.5 per cent and 2.0 per cent   The application for the vehicle type approval shall, in this case, contain information as to which of the two alternatives is to be used.   h > 1.0   Limits: between 1.0 per cent and 3.0 per cent   Initial aiming: between 1.5 per cent and 2.0 per cent   The above limits and the initial aiming values are summarized in the diagram below.   For category N3G (off-road) vehicles where the headlamps exceed a height of 1,200 mm, the limits for the vertical inclination of the cut-off shall be between: -1.5 per cent and -3.5 per cent.   The initial aim shall be set between: -2 per cent and -2.5 per cent.
