I was referring to the fact that you could not read the fault code. I could not figure out which code it was either...going off of the diagram you put together.

Oh ok, well it turned out the problem was with the user 🙂

When u first turn the screw on the ECU fully clockwise it starts flashing codes for the different modes u can choose. ie 1, 2, 3, 4 ,5 denoted by that number of flashes.

For self diagnostics you need to choose mode 3. So, after it has flashed 3 times turn the screw fully anti-clockwise.

Now, it will flash the fault codes. The number of red flashes make up the first digit of the code and the number of green flashes make up the second digit of the code.

When I first looked at mine I couldn't see the green light as it was mostly covered by the edge of the window...

Here is a good thread about it from another forum.

i'm quite sure someone said "RTFM".

had you have read it, then you would've come right first time 😉

you turn it all the way right till it starts flashing and you turn it back when the right mode is selected.

What code are you getting?

I was getting codes 13 (engine coolant temp sensor) and 34 (Knock sensor).

I rewired the temp sensor because there was a break in the wiring and I've got a new knock sensor from Nissan... R1700 later...
