3. Diagnostic Functionalities

3.1 Standard Diagnostic Functionalities

Abrites software for Nissan/Infinity has the following standard diagnostic functionalities:

• Read/Clear DTCs
• Actuator Tests
• Live Values Monitoring
• Vehicle Report

3.1.1 Read/Clear DTCs

Reading and clearing DTCs is a standard diagnostic procedure, which is executed from the main screen of the software. First step – Scan is done automatically when the vehicle is selected and upon loading the list of available modules, or by pressing he “Scan” button at any other point. This action will display the number of DTCs in each module that DTCs are present. You can press the “Clear Faults” button to clear all DTCs, or enter each module one by one and get details about the DTCs. Below you can see screenshots of the diagnostic scan with available DTCs, and DTCs information in the module.

3.1.2 Live Data Monitoring

Live Values or Live Data monitoring is a very useful functionality when it comes to vehicle diagnostic. The benefits of live data monitoring are:

• Immediate Visibility into Vehicle Health
• Dynamic Troubleshooting:
• Enhanced Efficiency and Time Savings:
• Data-Driven Decision Making:
• Proactive Maintenance and Preventive Measures:

Live Data monitoring is accessed trough the diagnostic menu, by entering a module and pressing the “Live Value” button. You will have to choose the data you want to monitor and choose between a query or a graph visualization.

3.1.3 Actuator Testing

Actuator Testing allows you to assess the functionality of various actuators in the vehicle. Actuators con-trol critical components such as motors, solenoids, and valves. Actuator Testing enables you to precisely target and address specific issues. Improve accuracy in diagnosing problems related to actuators. Mini-mize trial-and-error by confirming the root cause of issues promptly.

Benefits of Actuator Testing:

• Quickly identify faulty actuators affecting vehicle performance.
• Validate the effectiveness of repairs or replacements.
• Streamline the diagnostic process by pinpointing specific issues.
• Real-Time Feedback.
• Receive instant feedback on the status of the tested actuator.
• View real-time data to analyze the actuator’s response and performance.

How to Perform Actuator Testing:

Open the software > from the main screen select the module you want to work with. Once in the module

select “Actuators” and then select the specific actuator you want to test from the software interface. Follow on-screen instructions to initiate the testing procedure. Monitor the response of the actuator to ensure it operates within expected parameters.

3.2 Advanced Diagnostic Functionalities

The “procedures” are advanced functions – dealer level coding functionalities and service procedures, which are executed trough the diagnostic menu, by entering the module you want to work with and se-lecting “procedures” button. The way our software works in this fields is that it shows a list of all func- tionalities that could be available for a given modules, but are not necessary present or available for the vehicle you are working with, so some of the functionalities in the “procedures” menu will not work due to the fact they are not present or supported by your vehicle.

4. Special Functions

The software provides special diagnostic functions. The available special functions are displayed on the left side of the main screen of the software, in a list form in the menu bar. You can open the required special function by clicking on it

The available special functions in ABRITES Diagnostics for Nissan/Infinity Online software are:

• Key Learning – used for additional key programming and in cases when all keys are lost
• Module Adaptation – useful in replacing immobilizer related modules and others like navigation unit for example.

NB. Module adaptation in Nissan vehicles does not have a separate special function button, please check the dedicated section for “Module Adaptation” for details.

5. Key Learning

Key Learning in the Nissan/Infinity vehicles is done via the OBDII port and only the latest models based on a Renault platform will require CB012 cable – additional details on that in a subsection later in this manual.

Supported Platforms:

• 5 digit to 4 digit PIN code using HItag 2 keys
• 12 digit pre pin to 12 digit PIN using HItag 2 keys
• 20 digit pre pin to 20 digit PIN using HItag AES keys
• 22 digit pre pin to 20 digit PIN using HItag AES keys

The procedure is guided and provides all required details in each step, so that you are able to execute it only by following the on-screen messages. Procedure is started from the main screen of the software > Key Learning button, and you will see the following:

Below you can see more examples of screenshots from the procedure. On the first picture you can see the “Select number of keys yo learn” menu, where you need to drag the pointer to the required number of keys that you will be programming.

The next screen is giving you the required actions you need to complete for the key learning.

If everything is executed properly, you will see the following screens, and the procedure will be complet-ed with success.

There are 3 main ways that the procedure can be executed.

1. If the software is able to read the BCM number via OBDII and calculate the PIN code, the proce-dure will go as in the screenshots above.
2. If for some reason the software is not able to read the BCM number, you will have to manually write the BCM number and let the software calculate the PIN. This number is visible at the label of the BCM unit.
3. Another option for using the PIN Calculator is to enter the glove box label number and let the software calculate the PIN

There is another option for older vehicles to calculate the PIN by ICU or SEC label.

PIN Code CALCULATOR covers the following platforms:

• 5 digit to 4 digit PIN code using HItag 2 keys
• 12 digit pre pin to 12 digit PIN using HItag 2 keys
• 20 digit pre pin to 20 digit PIN using HItag AES keys

5.1 Clio V Platform Based Vehicles

Some of the latest models of Nissan/Infinity are entirely based on the Clio V platform. For this reason, there are done just as a Clio V. These are the vehicles with a 28 digit Pin Codes – based on the Renault platform for example – Juke F16, Sentra B18, J12, use the same procedure as Renault, so please refer to the Renault Online user manual, Section Clio 5 (4.1 and 4.2)
In order to complete such a job, you will need to work with the ABRITES RH850/V850 Programmer. This functionality allows extracting the PIN code by dump from HFM (keyless models) and BCM (non-keyless models) modules with locked RH850 processors to later program keys in All Keys Lost situations for a range of Nissan vehicles.

Main functionalities:

• PIN code extraction by dump
• All Keys Lost key programming

Supported models:

All models with locked processors

5.1.1 Connections

Internal CAN connection is needed and the software will tell you once the procedure is started and before the PIN can be verified. You will get the following message: “Please use an adapter to connect to internal vehicle CAN“
CB012 adapter is connected between the AVDI and the CB106 cable. The needle pinches are connected to the internal CAN wires of the vehicle – please check the technical documentation for the particular vehicle you are working with to be sure which are the CAN H and CAN L wires in your vehicle.

Below you can see an example of connecting the CB012 to a 2021 Nissan Qashqai J12’s UPC module. In this example the CAN H is the blue wire on the vehicle, and CAN L is the pink wire. Wire colors may vary, so you need to check the documentation of your own vehicle.

6. Module Adaptation

Module adaptation in the Nissan/Infinity vehicles is not a separate procedure, due to the way the systems in these vehicles operate. You are able to adapt a module (new or virgin) by performing key learning procedure.
ECU replacement – new or virgin unit needs to be installed in the vehicle, and you need to execute the Key Learning procedure explained in the dedicated section of this user manual.

If a second hand ECU is used you need to find a virgin dump and write it to the unit. Before making the unit virgin you need to use Nissan Consult to read the unit’s information (full back-up) before making the unit virgin. This back-up has information about injectors for example and everything specific for the vehicle, but does not have the immobilized related information. Then write a virgin dump – for that procedure you can use thee ECU Programming software. Next use Consult to write the already backed-up data. Last steps is to perform key learning.

Navigation unit replacement – once the replacement navigation unit is installed in the vehicle you will also have to do a key learning procedure as the unit will not be fully functional, even though it is not an immobilizer related module.

VIN is only in available in the ECU
