Protocol

[ther]

Hi,

Can anyone tell me which is the actual protocol used by the V35 in regards to its diagnostic codes?

I have just received a scanner OBD II compliant (including the VPW, PWM, ISO, KWP 2000 and CAN protocols) but when i plugged into my car got a comms error.

Any help would be appreciated.

I now there are all sorts of incompatibilities in the ODBII arena .... for example the Blazt USB ODBII device from the USA will look at a V35 ECU and can clear error codes, but cannot display any of the sensor outputs in Nissan Datascan 2 (which is what I want my CarPC to do).

Chris Rogers is the expert in this area - PM him.

really? cause mine displays all sensor codes...

Really? You can do the 12 gauge screen and it shows all the values (speed, rpm, water temp etc)? What brand cable have you got and where did you get it?

well, i have tested 2 separate scanners in obd2 mode and both cannot connect to the v35 althugh one scanner has the ability to select the nissan protocol and can access all error codes for engine, abs, airbag etc.

So now i have 2 handheld scanners but only one really works with the v35

Well i have found my answer. According to the service manual, the v35 uses the SAE J1979 protocol, so if you are looking to find a handheld scanner or a laptop program ensure that they read this protocol.

sorry to bring up an old thread. but i'm looking for a personal scanner. something for the Check engine light. I gathered from this site that the american OBD2 code readers won;t work or erase codes on the v35. so can you guys please direct me to site that i can buy one that will.

Blazt II adaptor with Nissan DataScan II will read error codes.

also..aussies is this site legit?

[Chris Rogers]

I realise you are trying to do this on a budget - launch diagun - basic package. that will access EVERY aspect of that car. kinda handy if you need to punch a new key into the car.

toss that into google. it should net a distro/retailer in your area.

[TomR33]

So the Launch diagun will program the transponder keys? Or will only do the diagnostics.

[Chris Rogers]

if you have the pin code then yes it will do the keys and the remtoe entry as well. diagnostics is what I bought mine for in the first place. at $3899 though I do not see many lining up for one.

try Maxidiag JP701.

For codes etc, has worked in 350z and v35s...

lots of the prices from here in oz are way over inflated...specially for the diagun that chris was referring to....
