Communication Error with Vehicle ECU On 2006 Nissan Pathfinder 2.5dci ?

May28

Hey everyone, hoping someone here can help!
I recently bought a Launch CRP919XBT and I’m trying to do injector coding on my 2006 Nissan Pathfinder 2.5dci but I keep getting this error!
I’ve double-checked everything — ignition is on, cables are all properly connected — but the message still pops up and won’t let me proceed.
Other functions on the tool seem to work fine. Just wondering…
👉 Has anyone successfully done injector coding on this model using the CRP919XBT?
👉 Is it supported at all? Do I need a firmware update or use a different menu/procedure?
Would appreciate any tips or confirmation before I go in circles again! 😅
Thanks in advance!

Solution:

1.When you choose Nissan it will ask for Market. Choose the Market the vehicle was originally sold in (not where you think it was made) then when selecting a Model you’ll have Navara (Spa), Navara (Thai), Pick Up, and some others. You’ll just have to keep trying models till you find the one that’s works.

2.More than likely incorrect model selected. These can be a PITA because you have Spanish Built and Thai Built both with different systems. I have done D40 Navara before with Pro3 (same software) but it took a bit of playing around to get the right software version.
