Nissan Consult 111 is a powerful diagnostic tool essential for servicing and maintaining Nissan GT-R vehicles. This article provides comprehensive information about using Consult 111 for GT-R transmission configuration, including software installation and database updates. We’ll cover both Consult III and Consult III Plus systems.
Accessing GT-R Software with Nissan Consult 111
GT-R software is accessible through the Consult III Plus interface. The software supports North American GT-R models from 2009 to the current model year. To utilize the GT-R diagnostic capabilities of Consult 111, you will need a specialized “Nissan GT-R Diagnosis & Repair IC Card and Adapter.” This crucial component can be ordered directly from Bosch by calling 1-800-662-2001 and requesting part number J47446-GTR-AM.
GT-R Transmission Configuration with Consult III Plus
When replacing a transmission or its control unit (TCM), crucial IP characteristic data must be written into the new TCM. This process, known as TCM configuration, ensures proper transmission operation. Without this data transfer, the transmission may malfunction. Consult 111, specifically Consult III Plus, plays a vital role in this procedure.
Using Nissan Consult 111 (version 6.12 or higher) with GT-R diagnostic software (version 14.12 or higher), along with the GT-R diagnostic security card, ensures successful TCM configuration. The process involves downloading and installing the “TCM Configuration Application” and the “TCM Configuration Database.”
The TCM Configuration software can be downloaded and installed without charge. Ensure you have the latest version for optimal performance.
The database requires daily updates. Download the most recent version before initiating TCM configuration. After downloading, extract the database to the designated folder: C:CONSULT-III_plusSystemApplicationApplicationDataATWS. Launch the application and input the transmission serial number. Selecting “Read and Search” will automatically locate and place the correct IP configuration data. Finally, utilize the “TCM Work Support” function within Consult III Plus to write the data to the TCM.
GT-R Transmission Configuration with Consult III
While Consult III Plus is the recommended platform, Consult III can also perform TCM configuration. This requires specific software and database versions. Download the designated “TCM Configuration Application” for Consult III and install it.
Similarly, download the corresponding “TCM Configuration Database.” Extract this database to the correct directory: C:ConsultIIILink.
This process ensures accurate data transfer and proper transmission function when using Consult III for GT-R TCM configuration. Always refer to official Nissan documentation for detailed instructions and the latest software versions.
In conclusion, Nissan Consult 111, encompassing both Consult III and Consult III Plus systems, is indispensable for accurate GT-R diagnosis and repair, especially concerning transmission configuration. Following the correct procedures and utilizing the appropriate software and database versions ensures optimal performance and vehicle functionality. Keeping your software and database current is paramount for successful GT-R servicing.
