Whilst helping justin666 with his non-starting S15 last week, he showed me how to flash up fault codes on the S15 ECU. I wasn't aware it was possible to do this until last week so here's a quick guide for everybody else..
Nissan ECCS allows you to read any stored fault codes without any specialist equipment.
The diagnostic plug on S15's is located near the drivers right knee behind a small panel.
Please read all the following instructions in full before you attempt to carry a fault code read out.
Understanding the fault code readout:
ECU fault codes are displayed on the engine check light on the dash and are displayed by the number of flashes as well as the speed of the flashes.
For example, an ECU showing no recorded faults will display code 55. The first digit is shown as 5 long flashes (tens) followed by a pause. This then followed by the second digit - 5 short flashes. Thus Code 55.

Please read all the following instructions in full before you attempt to carry a fault code read out.
- Switch the ignition to the ON position but do not start the car.
- Depending on its orientation of the consult plug (see below) bridge the two lower left, or upper right pins on the consult plug with the wire paper clip for 5 seconds, then remove the bridge.
-
- Observe and write down the sequence of flashed produced by the engine check light on the dash.
- Once you are satisfied you have all the fault codes bridge the consult pins again (basically, repeat step 2) and this will erase any stored fault codes and revert the ECU back its normal operation. It is important you carry out this part or the ECU will continue to repeat the stored codes.
