tomo123 Posted September 5, 2015 Author Share Posted September 5, 2015 What was the name of the trans specialist down here? Are you sure it needs reprogramming? They would normally read the data off the old ecu and swap it back on to the new one once the valve body was replaced, using the Consult3, via the OBD2 connector. Transmission specialist here is Mick Taylor, my car was sitting there for 2 months before I decided this is ridiculous. When I call back the nissan dealer ill tell them they should be able to do it in house, every company i call asks for my VIN though. As soon as they find out its JDM they can't do anything. Supposedly some computers have to be changed Leroy Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/459386-valve-body-programming/page/2/#findComment-7598587 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Equilibrise Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 I posted up directions on sau for how to put tranny ecu in diagnostics mode to get fault codes and clear/ reset them. Might be worth checking out yourself and clearing them. I had a similar problem with mine and after clearing the codes the problem disappeared. I hope you will have the same outcome. Good luck either way. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/459386-valve-body-programming/page/2/#findComment-7598863 Share on other sites More sharing options...

iamhe77 Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 (edited) Transmission specialist here is Mick Taylor, my car was sitting there for 2 months before I decided this is ridiculous.

Supposedly some computers have to be changed Leroy Most (all?) Nissan dealerships will have a local version of FAST and an import version of FAST. They may be referencing this when they say "have to change computer", meaning that they have to physically get up and move to the computer that has the import version of FAST on it. This may be seen as too much effort for some. EDIT: Yes, I understand how salty I am. Sue me.

scotty nm35 Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 It's all done on the Consult3 Toughbook, no need to move desktop computers Cam. Yes there is only one program, and they need to change the software to JDM but a good diagnostic tech can do that easily.

tomo123 Posted September 20, 2015 Author Share Posted September 20, 2015 Found out the valve body itself doesn't need any programming, it's the mechatronic unit attached to the valve body that needs to be programmed. Currently the mission is finding a new valve body and mechatronic assembly.

Leroy Peterson Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 If swapped out valve body might as well just put a shift kit in. Might even be cheaper!

tomo123 Posted September 21, 2015 Author Share Posted September 21, 2015 Definitely on here, it was up recently but I can't find the post. I'll most likely still get the shit kit done while the valve body is out.

tomo123 Posted October 3, 2015 Author Share Posted October 3, 2015 Has anyone ever swapped a PM35 stagea box with a V35 auto box?
