Introduction
“ABRITES diagnostics for NISSAN/ Infiniti” is a Windows PC based professional
diagnostic software for vehicles from the NISSAN group. With the help of this
software you can perform complete diagnostic operations of all 2000-present
vehicles from the NISSAN group, which are in most cases unsupported by other
diagnostic testers manufacturers. The “ABRITES diagnostics for NISSAN” also
provides complete standard diagnostics (read faults, erase faults, current
data, actuator tests) for NISSAN vehicles. Our PC USB diagnostic interface
supports K-Line and CANBUS interface. Diagnostics is performed via the OBD-II
connector.
The Abrites Vehicle Diagnostics for Nissan/Infiniti is a very competent
diagnostic tool aimed at professionals looking for a multipurpose tool that
fulfills all their needs in one place. All Abrites diagnostic software
applications provide an unmatched, dealer level diagnostics, previously
available to the OEM services only.
Standard diagnostics
- The “Standard diagnostic functions” of the software include three separate diagnostic protocols (K-line, CAN and UDS). This provides all the versatility that you may need from a tool. Using these three protocols allows you to work on almost all the cars produced by Nissan/Infiniti due to the fact that the manufacturer often combines various modules using different communication protocols in one vehicle.
- Also included in the standard diagnostics is the reading and clearing of Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) – this allows for the DTCs to be deleted after correcting the fault, thus enabling the vehicle to restore its normal operation.
Module Identification
In order to perform module identification you need to select the module from
the main diagnostic screen (shown above). Afterward you need to double click
in the module and a new screen with the available options will be displayed.
The first option from the list will be to perform module identification on the
selected electronic module. 
Reading and clearing of Diagnostic Trouble Codes
(DTC)
From the main screen you need to enter the module and select it, Once you
select the module you can choose the “Read DTCs” option. This will allow you
to see all the diagnostic trouble codes for the module. Afterward you can
remove the cause of the issues and press the “Clear DTCs” button. 
This procedure applies to the selected module. In case you would like to
remove all the DTCs from the vehicle’s electronic modules you could press the
“Clear All DTCs” button from the main diagnostic menu Live data values
When an electronic control module is selected you can also select to view the
live data values from the sensors connected to each ECU. This allows to
perform detailed diagnostics and analyze the behavior of the vehicle in real
time. The values can be viewed in a list form, as well as a graph. 
If
you would like to see the details about the vehicle in a graph you can select
the graph button on the right of the screen: Actuator Tests
Actuator testing is very important when a fault within the vehicle needs to be
fount, the option can also be used when enabling or disabling features on the
vehicle.

and perform the test needed. As an example you can see that the ABS motor is
being tested.
