Does anyone know of or use PC based diagnostic software to read the codes, monitor/datalog the sensors & fuel map on a 96 Max? I have found some that will work on my 91 300Z.

 

not on a 96 max, but yes

 

I am interested in this for my 2000 Max. What software and hardware do you need?

These interfaces consist of a cable which connects between the serial port of a laptop and the Consult Port of Nissan vehicles. Software is then run on the laptop which allows various diagnostic functions to be accessed. A genuine Consult connector is used.

It includes the following features:

* Real time monitoring of RPM, speed, injector pulsewidth, injector duty cycle, TPS position, AFM voltage, speed, idle valve opening %, IGN timing, coolant temp, battery volts etc. All displayed on nice pseudo-analog gauges.

* Basic data logging on all parameters (data is saved to a .csv file so you
just need to load in into Excel to display/graph it).
* Read and reset fault codes
* Active tests like �power balance� (knocks one cyl out at a time), fuel
pump on/off, VCT control, temporary changes to values for coolant
temp, IGN timing, AAC valve (for idle adjustment) etc.
* ROM read

Confused Its hard to read what each gauge does from that screenshot - it does say its just in blue



There's an small (60x35x28mm) interface box in the cable which converts the data. The interfaces have been tested on a list of vehicles which is growing by the day but includes the following:

* AUS 200SX S14 (SR20DET)
* AUS 200SX S15 (SR20DET)
* AUS Maxima A32 (VQ30DE)
* AUS Pulsar N15 (GA16DE)
* AUS NX/NXR Coupe (SR20DE)
* JDM 180SX S13 (SR20DET)
* JDM Silvia S14 (SR20DE)
* JDM Silvia S15 (SR20DET)

* JDM Skyline R33 (RB25DET)

I use this:

www.autoenginuity.com

however for some reason I can only get it to work on 01+ maximas and other OBD-II vehicles

it does not work for me on the following vehicles 95-00 maximas

 

how do u go about reseting the check engine light on a 01?

 

is it just me or does that seem really cheap? its only $103.XX for the software

 

killer: can that device clear engine codes?

yea, i read the other site. Interesting how its just like the conzult which from my understanding emulates the nissan consult

 

I've used this one in the past... it's worked pretty well for me.

^ I have that one. I also have digimoto and a few others. They work well but our POS is so slow that it's sometimes as pain to do live data monitoring. I can hook my laptop along with the interface box to other cars and many are much faster and have better samoling rates than out POS 8 or 16 bit ECU. For clearing codes it's awesome. Click a button and that's it.
