I got ConSult Cable off ebay from the e-Formance guy the cable over all its really cheaply made but as along as it works im find with it. So ive tried many different software to read the ECU but it just hangs up. I have DataScan 1.52, ConZult, ECU Talk, CalumSult I got them all from here. http://forum.pulsar.org.au/showthread.php?t=30057

I do the FIND ECU test in Nissan DataScan and it finds ECU id Hex - EA Active and ECU id Hex - DC Active but does not connect to the ECU. Also when DataScan searchs for ECU my AIRBAG light BINKS 1 Soild Blink then 3 Sec break then 1 Soild again. Any Ideas?

CalumSult just locks up and doesnt find ECU at all

ConZult says No ECU Found.

Any ideas? If anyone else has tried Consult Cable Please post me info and Screen Shots

 

Are you sure you connected the pins the right way? Also, I would try the software that comes with it, IMO it's better than the others.

yes im sure I connected it right way. It wouldnt find my ECU if I didnt connect it. Does ur Air Bag Light Blink? Also I do have a VG but I dont see this being a problem since it has ConSult Port...

 

Ill go try it again though...

 

with Consult from eFormance it finds ECU again but doesnt connect my ECU code is FF FF DC So I tried it manually and still no connect. Could it by my laptop or maybe my cable or maybe my car?

 

interesting, I'd thought your engine was a VG and most of those toys are made for VE?

 

I do have a VG with the Gray Consult Port. It finds my ECU but it wont connect. It finds ECU at FF FF DC those are the ECU Codes

 

Humm... I have a gray plug with 2 socket levels (about 20 slots) with clear plastic around it doing nothing, not plugged into anything sitting underneath the steering wheel. Would that be what you're referring to?

 

Yes, its a gray 14 pin port for ConSult. It finds my ECU but wont connect. When it searches for ECU my AirBag Light blinks any ideas?

 

no idea sorry have never messed around with it. was your air bag (the yellow wrapped) cable hooked up to the steering wheel ?

 

I never really looked but I dont think so. My gray cable is wrapped around the long 24pin cable..

 

Not sure what else to recommend, as I'm not really all that familiar with the ECU differences between VE/VGs, but I would assume that the consult protocol would be the same. Hopefully someone with more knowledge can chime in... have you contacted the seller to see if they could be of any help?

 

VG maxima ecus.. dont support consult. Ive tried many times. Sucks.

 

man I wish it was supported... Well anyone wanna buy Consult cable and laptop for $250? Laptop is Compaq Armada E500 PIII 900 512mb 20gb

 

Yes, as you have figured out by now, the grey Consult plug is there on all 92-94 Maximas. It is used for servicing the Airbag system on those cars with the driver's airbag, and for the ECU diagnostics on all VE engines only.

 

i also got one of these, and tried it on myne with many diff programs and nothing at all happend

 

yea its disappointing I wish it worked...
