Hi guys
I am new here and i think it's great being a part of this amazing forum.i need help with a nissan hardbody 20002 model,v6 engine,it has an ecu part number MECM-W895 A1 2904.
now the problem is that when i switch the ignition on the engine light flashes and then stops and remains on,when i try cranking the light start flashing and will only stop when i stop cranking the engine.I tried a diagnosis using my ELM327 bluetooth but i cant seem to get a communication with the ecu.i tried using my SSB key programmer and still cant get to the ecu brain.
Can some one help with the ecu pin outs so i can check if i am missing a voltage input or something like that,or is there a trick to get the car started?
I have checked the key using my AD90 and the transponder seems to read ok.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance. :dblthumb:

I would check to see that the stock ground straps are in place, in good shape, and that the connections are clean. I think these are often overlooked, but how else are electrical currents from the spark plugs and starter motor supposed to flow away from the engine?
