Yes it's back to haunt me. I thought I had cured it with my previous fix. It has been fine since then, from what I have been reading today it seems it could be anything from corrosion to damaged wiring or dodgy fuses etc. I have cleared the fault codes with ecutalk and will try and investigate...

Thanks Frank I will do that and see what comes up

Hi I posted on the general chat forum about this and was pointed to ecutalk software by Frank. I have installed and used it and it has come up with nats 1404,1405,1406 codes. Can anybody tell me what this relates to please. Am I right in thinking it is immobilized related.

Thanks Frank a quick Google search and I found it, I will post results on correct forum board.

Not tried that I have just tried consult and nissan obd scan that came with it.The obd scan connects but it needs registering but I have lost the email address. Where can I get ecutalk from?

It's a r reg 1998.

Hi I have a problem with the obd light. I bought a code reader but that didn't fit the nissan socket so I got a consult adaptor and cable to connect to my laptop. The problem I am having is the consult programme that came with it will not run, does anybody have a link to a download for it or...

Thanks frank problem solved, i have put my solution on scotts thread as i had posted my idea on that.(Y)

Glad to hear that you have fixed it scott. I received my pickup ring today and i swapped the circuit board over from my original ring and put it on my ignition switch, re set the flashing light and turned it over afew times. The light stopped flashing & the engine started after a few attempts. I...

I have taken some pictures of the dismantled ring showing the circuitboard,housing & ring do the chips on the board store the code and the copper ring act as an antenna for reading the chip in the key(sorry having trouble downloading pictures)

So is it right to assume that the code is stored on the chip on the circuit board within the ring housing and that the actual ring acts just as an antenna (it appears to be a copper wire winding)? If so then maybe my idea of changing the complete board and wiring could work. I am tying to get a...

Hi sorry to jump in but i am having the same problem. I decided that as the antenna was broken any way to open it up to see if it could be soldered. When i opened the back the wires go to a circuit board which un-plugs from the ring and can be removed from the housing. If i got a replacement...

I think this is the problem, just took it off an as i was removing it it came apart. It looks like the ring is connected by two very thin wires to the black plastic housing but you can remove the circuit board inside complete so i am wondering if i get another, could i just change the circuit...

Yes that is the one that i read

Will do that thanks frank but i was wondering where i would get a replacement if it was damaged or what to look for damage wise as it seems that if i replace it with a second hand one i will have to get it re-coded at nissan. Your help has been much apreciated.
