Cat11pillar Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 Hi guys, Had an EML on my 350z (07 313) for about 2 weeks now. I took it to a local garage that originally erased the error but then it came back. Second time around they gave me an error code P2A00 which dont make sense! Went back again as it came on for the 3rd time and was told by the mechanic that I need to take it to Nissan to get the correct error code.. He said the OBD machines dont give Nissan error codes... Now I have seen a list of the error codes on this website so just want to know what OBD machine can I purchase to give me the correct error code (correct format so I can query on this website)... I did try the pedal trick but just came up with 3 fast flashing lights (after the 10 slow) but nothing more.. Thanks guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave1221 Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 I havent tried it with my Zed yet, but i have a Bluetooth ODBC adapter which i bought from ebay (around £25) and i bought the app 'Torque' from the Android market on my phone over a year ago. It correctly brought up the error codes on my Pug 207 GTi when the timed chain slipped ( ) last year and it went into limp mode. My Zed is in the bodyshop at the moment so i cant try it, but maybe someone can with the same setup can see if it works? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomS Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 This is the one I bought a few months ago and it's worked every time I've used it to clear O2 Sensor codes - http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B001 ... 03_s00_i00 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat11pillar Posted September 7, 2012 Author Share Posted September 7, 2012 OK brought the one from Amazon and still no joy... It basically read that was an error and it said: Fault: 01 Pend: 01 Tried to get the actual code and it said n/a which means the monitor is not supported! Although this device should work on a 350z! So what else can I try? Worst case I will try Nissan maindealer but just rather invest in something that will probably save me cash in the long run! Ive read about JOBD scanners rather than OBD? The car is UK spec though (as far as I know)! Thanks guys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricey Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 Import or uk? These cheap machines off eBay don't always work with imports. I've got one and it works perfectly with uk thought. It's the elm one off eBay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexx Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 Where are you based? There may be an independant garage near you that has the Nissan Consult diagnostics software that we can recommend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
