Honestly the support totally sucked and he never responded to my questions after I paid for the tool, and bought the dongle (about $80 total). Since the support was lacking, and I could never get a straight answer about support for SAS recalibration, I bought the Foxwell and that worked perfectly for what I needed to do. I paid $225 or so for the tool, but hopefully it will provide years of servcie and I can avoid a few trips to the dealership by having a decent scan tool that has some higher end code reading features. |
Nissan datascan 2 is a great tool but needs a laptop to run all the functions. I never had a problem with it but i don't know about support. It runs around $80 with a cable.
i am now running a link g4+ ECU. But can still use the program for abs/bcm issues. |
Any know if the Datascan Software can reset the steering angle sensor on a 2003 350Z

It didn't work for me... but I am not sure if it was related to the USB OBD2 dongle I was using (purchased on Amazon and compatible according to the NDS website). I played with the settings for an hour or so to optimize the connection, but I seemed to be getting errors with all configuarations. The software said everything was connected and communicating and I was able to run an OBD2 scan. However, when I ran the work support, it said completed,. but I was still having SAS problems when I was driving. I bought the NDS software and dongle for the sole purpose of resetting my steering angle sensor, and ended up buying a good scan tool instead.
What happened to buying a decent scan tool like you mentioned you were goign to do in a previous post? |
It looks easier then buying the Foxwell I just want something that would be easy to use.......

I recently purcahsed a Foxwell NT650 based on several reviews and some questions that I asked over at Amazon. I needed to calibrate my Steering Angle Sensor after doing some steering column work, and adding 06 audio buttons/wiring and 06 clock spring to my 03 350Z. The SAS calibration is typically found under work support and ABS on the higher end scanner tools. Many people reported that other tools claimed this support/functionality, but after using these other tools, it did not work for them. This Foxwell tool worked perfectly for me, and had the ABS support features I needed, and I was able to monitor my SAS, and recalibrate it correctly. Its supposed to handle the TPMS system too, and the reports are that it does, but you may need the TPMS RF tool (you can get these cheap on Ebay), to actuaklly assign the tire sensor stems, when doing TPMS work. I have not used the tool for too much else, yet, but the screen is very nice and its loaded with features. For about $225, it seems equivalent to some of the other tools that cost $1000+...

Would something like the Foxwell unit allow me to permanently turn off my airbag light? Swapped out to an aftermarket steering wheel and I'm miffed it's the only check light on in my dash.
