USB Diagnostics for Classic Nissan Consult Vehicles
The Nissan Consult USB Engine Code Reader is designed for older Nissan vehicles fitted with the 14-pin grey Consult diagnostic port. It connects your vehicle to a Windows PC and gives access to engine fault codes, live data, and supported ECU information using compatible Consult software.
This is a useful tool for classic Nissan owners who want a reliable wired diagnostic connection for vehicles that do not use standard modern OBD2 diagnostics.
Best Suited For
This tool is best suited to owners of older Nissan models built around the Consult 1 diagnostic system, including many vehicles from the late 1980s through to around 2000. It is a good fit for Nissan enthusiasts working on Skylines, 300ZXs, Maximas, Pathfinders, Fairladys, Terranos, and other supported models.
It is not intended for normal OBD2 diagnostics on later vehicles unless the vehicle specifically still uses a compatible Nissan Consult protocol and the correct adapter setup.

System Diagnostics
When used with compatible software, the Nissan Consult USB tool can access supported engine diagnostic functions on older Nissan vehicles. This can include fault code reading, fault code clearing, live data, and selected ECU information.
Supported software options may include ConZult, EcuTalk, and Nissan DataScan I. Software availability, setup, and functions vary by vehicle and computer setup.
Service Functions
This tool is primarily designed for diagnostics and live data rather than modern service reset functions. Depending on the vehicle and software used, some adjustments such as idle speed or ignition timing may be available.
It is not designed for modern service functions such as DPF regeneration, battery coding, ABS bleeding, or full all-system diagnostics.
Vehicle Compatibility
This tool is designed for Nissan vehicles fitted with the 14-pin grey Consult diagnostic port, generally from around 1989 to 2000. Common supported models may include Skyline, 300ZX, Maxima, Pathfinder, Fairlady, Terrano, and other Nissan models using the Consult 1 system.
For some 2001 to 2005 Nissan vehicles with a 16-pin OBD2-style port but still using Nissan Consult protocol, an optional adapter may be required. These may include selected Pathfinder, Patrol Y61, Altima, Navara, and Frontier models depending on engine and system.

Is This the Right Scan Tool for You?
This is the right tool if you own an older Nissan with the grey 14-pin Consult diagnostic port and want a reliable wired connection for PC-based diagnostics. It is a practical option for classic Nissan troubleshooting and live data checks.
If your vehicle is a later OBD2-compliant model, or if you want all-system diagnostics across multiple makes, a different scan tool will likely be more suitable.
