Nissan Consult 111, while not explicitly mentioned in the source material, is heavily implied as the necessary interface for utilizing the software and procedures discussed. This article focuses on using Nissan’s diagnostic software, specifically versions compatible with Consult 111, for critical tasks like GT-R transmission configuration. We’ll explore the software requirements, installation process, and database updates needed for successful GT-R diagnostics and repair using Consult 111.
Software Requirements for GT-R Diagnostics
Diagnosing and servicing a Nissan GT-R requires specialized software accessible through the Nissan Consult III Plus system, likely compatible with Consult 111. This software supports North American GT-R models from 2009 to the current year. Crucially, accessing this software necessitates a “Nissan GT-R diagnosis & repair IC card and adapter,” available by contacting Bosch (part number J47446-GTR-AM).
GT-R Transmission Configuration with Consult III Plus (and likely Consult 111)
Replacing the transmission or its control unit (TCM) mandates writing specific IP characteristic data into the new TCM. This process, known as TCM configuration, is essential for proper transmission operation. Without this data, the transmission will malfunction. This procedure requires Nissan Consult III Plus diagnostic software (version 6.12 or later), GT-R diagnostic software (version 14.12 or later), and the GT-R diagnostic security card, potentially usable with Consult 111.
To execute TCM configuration, download the “TCM configuration application” and the “TCM configuration database.”
Install the software by running “TCM_CONFIG_SETUP_FOR_C3Plus.EXE”.
The TCM configuration database requires daily updates; download the latest version before configuring the TCM.
After downloading, extract the database to “C:CONSULT-III_plusSystemApplicationApplicationDataATWS.” Launch the application, enter the transmission serial number, and select “Read and Search.” The application automatically places the correct IP configuration data in the designated Consult III Plus location. Finally, use “TCM Work Support” within Consult III Plus to write the data to the TCM.
GT-R Transmission Configuration with Consult III (and potentially Consult 111)
Alternatively, for using Consult III, download and install the “TCM config. Software” by running “TCM_CONFIG_SETUP.EXE”.
Download the configuration database and extract it to “C:ConsultIIILink.”
Conclusion
Proper GT-R diagnosis and repair, particularly concerning transmission issues, depend heavily on utilizing the correct Nissan diagnostic software and procedures. Whether using Consult III or Consult III Plus, potentially in conjunction with Consult 111, ensuring you have the correct software versions, security card, and updated databases is paramount for successful service and maintenance of these high-performance vehicles. Always refer to official Nissan documentation for the most accurate and up-to-date information.
