Nissan almera 1.6i starting problem

HI

Well my dad has an Almera 2005 model 1.6i

The car as he says does not want to start or it starts but dies immediately.

People from Nissan told him its the immobilizer in the key , so they told him of a series of moves with the key to override it (This is also in the Owners manual)

Well he did this successfully but when the car has been standing for a week it does not want to start, like I said it starts but dies immediately.

He check.changed the battery so its not that the fuel pump and its not that.

He asked me about diagnostics and well he is 60kms away from the nearest town. We would like to diagnos it ourselves( Was thinking to get the tool that autozone sells as that is cheap) What do u guys say about them?

has any1 used the mni scanner check below.

you need to get the fault codes from the engine ECU and the NATS ecu

most generic tools work, the autel tool is a very good tool

HI

Guys Is this car a OBD2 protocol car?

Thanks

all cars from year 2000 are ODB2

OH Ok Thanks

I got that cable and a few programs

I tested it on my polo Classic 1999 model

I tested it on my Corsa 1998 model

And the ECU cant respond to the Protocol.

does This sound correct ?

HI BMW Maniac

I have tried the cable on the Nissan

It did not work as it pics up but then says Interface protocol unrecognized?

What is your take on this ?

bmwmaniac · **Joined:** Sun Feb 09, 2014 6:47 pm **Posts:** 156

interface protocol is the "language" that the cars diagnostics uses. what software are you using?

rourke · **Joined:** Wed Oct 08, 2014 11:29 am **Posts:** 18

Well A lot of Free Software That I Downloaded and that came with the CD

What should I use or What would U Recommend?

Maybe I am Doing Something Wong Or using The Wrong Software?

So Also I take it The Cable Works Then ?

Its Just The Software that is the Problem? And The Car is OBD2? But The Software is Different?

Thanks

I think you might be it of a pioneer on this. Don't recall anyone on here doing the OBD2 stuff for an Almera before.

Well Boksie

What does Nissan Use

On what can I Use the OBD2 Stuff?

THanks

OBD2 is standard from year 2000. the only difference is different manufacturers use different protocols. you need to fins software that works with nissan's protocol. they trying to keep us out, forcing ppl to go to the agents. from last year all european vehicles now HAVE to use the same protocol for emisions systems, so that when a car is pulled off they can check by plugging in a simple machine and fineing you on the spot

Thanks BMW Maniac

Well Will Try and google some More on the Protocol

If u know of some program that will work Let Me Know

will also let u guys know if I come up with something

This is interesting stuff.
So we are also governed now since last year u say?

Thanks a lot
