Consult Problems

[NewKleer]

i was under the impression that c34 stagea support consult like the R34 does. might not have the clock signal line?

do u mean the connector is different? or just the wiring in it? so long as it has wires in the positions for gnd/ign/rx/tx then it hopefully will work. doesnt matter if it has extra wires, some cars have some of the middle pins wired up.

if its different, take a photo or something of it? have u got service manual you can check or post relevant diagrams from?

well the TX RX etc cluster is not the same on the stagea .. has 3 connectors in there instead of the 4 that I was used to see. I dont have any info on the stagea really ! I could take a photo of the port but my digital camera is pretty damned average!

well that seems right cause i said CLK doesnt have to be there. so 3 on left and 1 (or 2) on right = ok?

check and see if it is the CLK thats missing

hmmmm .. yes the clock looks to be missing.. but how can I really tell with just a multimeter?

I guess with that in mind I could give it another go tonight.

no need to check with multimeter if youve got 20/20 vision and you did indeed see the CLK missing as per the image u posted before.

u could check that 12v and GND are correct if u want, but im sure nissan wouldnt make a mistake as simple as that in a mass produced car

thanks man you have really helped me out !

I dont have the car with me to check .. but from memory yeh it was that area that was causing me greif! there were also ( again from memory ) one or 2 pins that were not listed in that diagram

I will give it another shot tonight and see whats going on.

oh one last question .. what exactly does the CHECK line do ?

[NewKleer]

u short it with IGN for manual bulb flashing testing. not use for consult, neither are the extra wires in middle of connector if u have them, nothing to be concerned about
