Where do you live? Depending on country, car is not OBDII / EOBD. this is why Elm doesn't work. What kind of connector does your car have, is it 14 pin? Then Launch x 431, CJ Euro, Nissan consult, Autoboss etc will work.
There was a post on the protocols on this place, look in the attachment.

I live turkey

Not part of the European Union and EOBD is not required.

So what connector does your car have??. And what is the problem with your car, what is wrong?.

[jossef]

You can read fault codes in that way:

1-Switch ignition on
2-connect IGN and CHK at the diagnostic connector
3-Wait 2 seconds
4-Count the flashes of the MIL(check engine light)
5-Switch off ignition

There are four groups , representing 1xxx, x1xx, xx1x, xxx1. The codes are P-codes, zero is represented by 10 flashes. There are short pauses between the groups and longer pauses between different codes. I'll add the description in german, maybe it will help you.

If ths info is useful, you might put the red button.

Hi
I'm from Portugal
I need to diagnose my almera N16 - year 2001 - YD22DDT engine
Does your procedure work on my car? If it does, where can i see the code description (i have vivid workshop. i suppose i can see there or am i wrong?)

[teuton]

With this engine you'll probably need scantool, sorry. The info is from Autodata.

Hi I'm from Ukraine. I need a diagnostic tool for Nissan Almera N16 1,8. I'm looking for:
1. Diagnostic soft
2. Cable
3. Please point me where the connector is lokated.

Thank you.

[teuton]

To get the fault codes you can bridge the terminals IGN and CHK as described in the post above. The flashing check engine light will give you the codes.
On these Nissan I use CJ-euro scantool to se live data. HTH.

[Vladimir_O]

If I understand correctly, you connect PC to the connector and use some "scan tool" for diagnostic. Please point me the connection cable type and a link to the diagnostic tool.

Thank you.

Long story short:

In general you need a tool to read the data from engine computer(ecu).
1) This tool can be a scanner, which works on its own, alone.You connect it via cable to your car's diagnostic socket and there you go.
2) You can use an interface, that is connected by cables to your car's diag. socket on one side and to a computer on the other side. You need a special program (software) on your computer that will allow comuncation with the ecu.

in your case you can get the engine fault codes by bridging the terminals IGN and CHK of your diagnostic socket. In a post above there is a picture where you can see the location of terminal IGN and CHK on your car's socket. The a blinking code will tell you the code numbers and you can look in a chart for the meanings.

A scanner will allow you to see live stream data of the engine while it is running which is a great help to diagnose faults. This is not possible by bridging the terminals IGN and CHK, this will only allow you to read the code numbers.

if you only want to check your own car, you might want to look for a Nissan Consult interface on e-bay. They cost around 10-15 euros and will be enough for working on your car. They come with the software and cables. Here is a link to one seller, but look in your country for yourself:

Hope you have an idea now, greetings.:rock:

the blink method not working with primera qg18de 2001 :(

Thank you a lot for the detailed answer. But according to your previous illustrations Nissan Almera 2001 has 16 pin OBD2 connector, and your link at the above post points to 14 pin OBD cable. So should I search on EBay a cable with 16 pin connector to connect it to PC or may be I wrong?
