Plug other end into laptop usb or serial port (or for Pocket PC, into null-modem adaptor or blaZt iPAQ cable).

The steps for actually using the cable and software (see next section) are relatively simple: Generally all Nissan Consult interface cables should work with all Consult software, although some circuit designs offer better compatibility with all vehicles. The cables are not 'straight through', but have an electrical circuit inside the connector (not just a case of putting connectors on the ends of a cable). Also some late model cars from 1999 may have an OBDII port and a Consult port, but only retain the consult port it for ancilliary systems (like AT, AirCon, HICAS, etc) diagnostics, but the main ECU may be OBDII.Ī 'consult interface' cable allows the connection of a Laptop/PC to a Consult capable car for diagnostics with Consult programs. Consult is only supported on the Nissan ECUs, so replacement ECUs like the PowerFC, etc, will not support it (remapped/daughterboards ECUs or those with piggybacks like SAFC should be fine). There are exceptions to the rule, however. If the car has the female consult port, it will most likely support consult. Nissan Consult is supported on most petrol powered (generally not diesel) Nissans built in the 1990s. These cars are usually built from year 1989 to 2000, including models such as 300ZX, Z32, Maxima, 240SX, S13, S14, Skyline, SR20DE, SR20DET, RB20, Altima, and Fairlady. Nissan cars that have the grey 14pin Consult connector (you'll usually find it near the fusebox).
