So other night i did few hard braking and abs light is now on and no abs. Wheels do lock up

 

i have link g4 on my 1998 r34 gtt which has usb interface but i think that only replaces the ecu as I still have consult port

 

what I am not sure is if consult os reading and accessing ecu through the old ecu

so i bought consult and tried both consultz and nissan data scan 1 and neighbours can access the ecu or any other ecu as hicas was also removed

 

so i googled ans jumped pin 4 and 8 and still no flashing on abs light indicating what the problem is

 

read the link ecu and had no error and it is locked by tuner so can't access it

 

what are my options here to read abs fault and fix it?

Mechanic will have same tools as me

No. Take it to a mechanic who has a PROPER scan tool. Made by Snap-On, or any of the other $10000+ workshop grade scan tools that will connect to and read from EVERY make and model (with the appropriate licenses, of course).

Consultz and Nissdatascan etc are NOT proper scan tools. They are a valiant effort by talented amateurs.

right but where is the joy of fixing it yourself?

Link ECU replaces the main ecu as it is plug in so my question was does consult port uses the standard ecu to connect to hicas and abs etc / in another word, were you able to only access them throuugh standard ecu even though they were different ecus?

 

has anyone read abs module codes on nissan skyline and if so what software and port have you used

The joy is in getting the problem identified, because you cannot do it yourself unless you have drug money.

All CUs are on the same Consult bus. Access to the others is not mediated by the ECU.

I already told you - there is nothing out there. You need a workshop grade scan tool. This is a large handheld device that comes in a blow-mould case with a bunch of different cables that allows you to hook it up to diag ports on Nissans, Hondas, Toyos, BMWs......get the theme here? Or, you need an actual Nissan Consult tool. Same thing, just limited to Nissan only and more guaranteed to have the correct protocols and lookups for every Nissan.

There is only one diag port on your car. The Consult port.

Took it to two nissan dealer and they won't touch it as it has link ecu

thinking independent garage but haven't found reputable one

 

you can buy consult on ebay for relatively cheap price, does anyone know if there is a consult bus such as can so all ecus can be reachable via a bus lane without going through main ecu?

Yes, that is the definition of Nissan Consult. All the CUs are on the bus.

Any Snap-On, or similar scan tol, as possessed by ANY decent mechanic these days, WILL read all the CUs. I worked out what was wrong with my HICAS using a workshop grade scan tool.....20 years ago.

so I mapped the pins as per this link and my maxicom does not support it

it looks as I am out of any options, can't find any consult 1 or consult 2 reader. 

as i understand consult 3 or consult 3 plus won't support my car. about to pull my hair.

so here is my experience and update for people in similar situation 

 

https://www.autelstore.co.uk/wholesale/autel-maxicom-mk808-diagnostic-tool.html?gclid=Cj0KCQiAqo3-BRDoARIsAE5vnaKsLh-sn8cKvzkdH1CrqG3mb3u-DT01nvn1Y5rBSiwnTwzv8FPTw-MaAvC_EALw_wcB

can read skyline r34 however doesn't have consult port adaptor.

 

so also bought below and confirmed it can read abs. I used the adaptor from consult to OBD and confirmed the Autel can also read the abs module.

I will map the pins using my multi meter and post back for anyone in similar situation in the future.

I saw a code saying ABS motor off, so back to basics, fuse was gone. Ouch that hearts by missing the most simple thing and going to get ecu to read it

    • They see me rollin' they hatin'....... Took me most of the day to make the necessary mods to the mounts to make them fit the car.  Fortunately I was able to just use the mounts that came with the rotisserie. The rear ones are really secure, the front I feel i might reinforce a bit more as it doesn't seem like enough attachment to the vehicle. I'm sure it's fine but better to be safe than (extremely...) sorry.  I drilled and tapped thread into additional M12 holes to each car mount where it attaches to the rotisserie as an extra fail-safe. Without them the side to side movement is just restricted by the allen head pinch bolts, nothing actually goes though the beam. Does now! I still need to adjust the rotisserie to get the car centred in terms of centre of gravity. If it's too high or too low relative to the rotational centre line of the car, it will be like a turtle and roll onto its back or as it currently sits, I dont think I'd be able to rotate it as it sits as it needs to lift the whole car up as it rotates. Ain't happening... I'm going to be nervous as hell the first time I go to spin it on its side...    
    • Oh yes done this when the window started flopping around.  Turns out the guides that run along the rail chanel had crumbed way. Took off the door card and pulled out the window mech, then the window, which you have to pull out through the top. As said unbolt the guide rail and don't spend 30 minutes getting frustrated trying to find a way to slide it out upwards cause that don't frigging work. Drop it down and out through the door hole. All I did to repair it was slice some 10mm clear plastic tube, vertically, then screw it to the guide rail both sides. This tubing rolls inward on both sides and leaves a gap wide enough to hold the window. To finish all I did was lube the plastic tube with olive oil and Bob's your uncle . . . well if he has the operation he can be your Aunt ! !  10 bucks in plastic tube and another 5 minute job done again . . . . YEH BULLSH#T ! My love for Skylines knows no bounds !
    • So was there a solution to this problem? I’m having this issue now. 
    • not expensive, just irreplaceable if you don't go sub 60 at wakie in that thing people will start talking
    • I haven't replaced that, but I have had the doors apart on the r32 a couple of times The door skin will be held on by a combination of clips and bolts, just take it slowly and make sure all the sneaky hidden bolts are out Once the skin is off you should be able to pop that piece off pretty easily, looks like there are only 2 bolts holding it on
