JohnUKVetteNut Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Hi Ordered a OBD2 reader from ebay ( £31 inc delivery from Japan) and it arrived 2 weeks later and plugged it in and within 20 seconds of programming in vehicle manufacturer it worked and displayed my codes for me. There were actually no codes stored, but nice to know if i needed to look I could retrieve them. Every now and then ebay can deliver some nice toys!

Carrie-B1 Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 I bought 1 of these in the last week and it will not read my import engine light is on (I know why but just wanted to clear it) also says you can update the software for free could not find any updates for this model Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilscorp Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Not sure why you would need to update it as the 350z is an old car maybe for new cars or manufacturers not listen on the menu. I have never had the engine management light on while using this but it has shown previous codes for air/fuel issues and it cleared them fine.

Carrie-B1 Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Ok so what am I doing wrong, I have so far bought 3 codes readers and not 1 will connect to the car (all have said for jap cars). plug it in, scroll to nissan it then looks like it is connecting scrolling through stuff and then comes up communication error. All of them . My son-in-law is a mechanic brings his home from the garage plugs it in reads it no problem ( an expensive 1 ) it is always a misfire code but that will be for another thread Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dblock Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 I'd imagine your mechanics a snap on or something like it that reads everything. Where are you as my Obdmate works fine. I could test it for you if you like? Also are you plugging it in and then turning the key to the 1 or 2nd position? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
