Can't use OBD Port
 
Hi,

I have tried to connect my car to a Mustang Dyno and car just won't connect. It says PID can't be created. I have used a diagnostic tool (Autoboss) and it connects fine. I have tried using the PLX KiWi and although it connects, it doesn't really read any data from the car. Any ideas anyone?

I think it's that extended storage switch in the fuse box.

I read about that but I don't have any of those symptoms listed. And OBD definitely has power cos I could connect it to a diagnostic tool with no problems.

Anyway, I will give it a try. Will report back. Thanks

Hi,

I can't find tag big white plug on my fuse box. Here are 2 photos of my fuse box.

Is there another place I should look for? My car is a right hand drive

It's because of where you bought your car. The ones sold in the US are required to support one of a certain set of standard OBD-II protocols (mostly because that's necessary for emissions testing). The 370's sold in other countries don't always do so. I know we've had examples here in the past of 370's from the middle east and/or japan that didn't speak the "normal" US OBD-II protocols. Some devices can talk to them, some can't, depends on the devices' support for strange/abnormal protocols (from the normal US point of view).

Sorry I don't have a ton of detail on the subject. What was the country of origin? Was it imported as a one-off to Singapore from elsewhere?

Hi,

Thanks for your reply.

This is purchased from the authorised Nissan Dealership. Origin should be Japan.

Looks like I can only do a dyno run using RPM pickup via the roller or coils...sucks!
