U480 Code Reader

[Lurch]

Just bought myself a U480 code reader but am having problems linking it to the truck. It keeps coming up linking error, have tried it on my daughters yaris and works fine, Can some one please tell me if i'm on the right connector or whether my truck is compatable. 2005 3.0 di and am connecting to the 16 pin plug just below the fuse board near drivers side foot well.
cheers.

UB480 code reader is OBD/CAN compatible only.
The diagnostic interface on your truck will only be proprietary Nissan Consult. No OBD connectivity.
Search the forum for ECUtalk for more info on what WILL work.

Just get one of these from fleabay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Nissan-Co...529064380&po=&ps=63&clkid=5743610780726173572
Then download ecutalk free to talk to it on your laptop

That'll work but it may not fit a modern'ish lappy with no RS 232 port then you wil need an adaptor to fit usb 2.0. David

Good point, I couldn't get my usb/serial converter to work now you remind me.
Is there another reader with usb out?

If you are using XP you may need to update your driver. sp3 is needed I think.

The driver is at the bottom of the page.

Found some more which may be of use.

Another thing you need to take care of is the connector, the Consult interface units on ebay all have the older 14pin connector, yours is a 16pin.
So just buy a loose 16pin (JS1692) connector and wire it to the consult interface. It's pretty simple just 4 wires.

Only hand held unit I know of is a genuine Nissan Consult II.
Problem is they are a tad expensive. You might pick one up for about 2000 quid or so!
