Module scan and DTC read/clear on Nissan/Infiniti with the AVDI

This is the basic function of the Abrites Diagnostics for Nissan/Infiniti software: it identifies the modules fitted to the vehicle, reads the fault codes and clears them, either module by module or across the whole car. Use it as the first step of every diagnosis, before any special function.

Procedure

1. Check the prerequisites: AVDI interface, Windows 7 or later PC, active AMS and a stable Internet connection. It is always advisable to have the latest software version installed.
2. Connect the AVDI to the vehicle's OBDII socket and to the PC. Nissan/Infiniti diagnostics are carried out through the OBDII connector.
3. Open the "Abrites Quick Start" menu, find the Nissan logo and click it: the Nissan/Infiniti line page opens.
4. Select the first Nissan/Infinity icon from Quick Start: the software launches and the main screen appears with the list of modules fitted to the car.
5. From the main screen select the vehicle you are working on; from here you can also enter the special functions menu and the options and language sub-menu.
6. Press "Scan for Units" to run a full vehicle scan and find the modules and DTCs. The list of modules varies according to the vehicle specification.
7. To connect to an individual module double-click on the entry, or select it and press the "Open" button: the software attempts to connect to the module.
8. On the module screen the first entry is the identification of the selected unit: use it to read the identification data before you start work.
9. Press "Read DTCs" to display all the fault codes in the module you have opened.
10. Press "Clear DTCs" to clear the temporary or already-fixed codes in the selected module only.
11. If you need to clear the codes in all the vehicle's modules, go back to the main screen and press "Clear All DTCs".
12. If communication with some module fails, remember that the software handles three separate protocols (K-Line, CAN and UDS) and that Nissan/Infiniti often fits modules with different protocols to the same vehicle: repeat the scan and check you have selected the correct vehicle.
