Introduction If you own a Nissan, Datsun, or Infiniti (especially a performance model like a 350Z, 370Z, GT-R, or SR20DET-powered vehicle), you’ve likely outgrown generic OBD2 scanners. While a $20 code reader can reset an engine light, it cannot read transmission temperatures, test ABS solenoids, or log Nissan’s proprietary data streams.
Enter – a professional-grade Windows-based software that unlocks the full potential of your vehicle’s ECUs. Developed by a enthusiast named Peter (via NDS Software), this tool is widely regarded as the "OEM-level" alternative to Nissan's CONSULT-II and CONSULT-III+ systems, but at a fraction of the cost. What Exactly is Nissan DataScan 3? Nissan DataScan 3 is a software application for Windows PCs (Windows 7 through Windows 11) that communicates with all the electronic control units in your Nissan/Infiniti vehicle. Unlike generic OBD2 tools that only access the Engine Control Module (ECM) via standardized PIDs, NDS III uses Nissan’s proprietary CONSULT protocol.
A: Yes, partially. It can read the EV battery controller (LBC), showing cell voltages, temperatures, and state of health (SOH). Active tests are limited.
A: Not reliably. NDS III requires a Consult-specific adapter. Some Bluetooth Consult adapters exist, but USB is recommended for speed and stability.
