I've had my 2015 Murano for almost three years and I am very happy with it. I recently had a check engine light come on and not having an OBDII Reader I resorted to a local shop that specializes in Japanese cars and the Fault Code came out as P0101 / Mass Air Flow Sensor. They replaced it and the car is back to normal. This wasn't cheap but I needed the car for work ASAP. What ticks me off is that I can do this stuff but I didn't have a reader on-hand. I want to get my own OBDII reader so I can do the work myself going forward. Can any of you recommend one?

Thank You!

If you have an Android phone/tablet, download Torque Pro for $5 and buy a cheap $15 OBDII bluetooth connector from Amazon. This will allow you to read/clear codes, look at live data, and read the results of on-board monitor tests. You can also download the CVTz50 app ($5) to do transmission diagnostics although supposedly the features of this app don't work as well in the 3rd generation Murano.

If you only have iOS, you can buy a BlueDriver setup. It's much more expensive, but more "polished" than Torque and it supposedly reads/clears ABS and SRS codes for many vehicles (...not sure about the Murano so you should research it).

EDIT: BlueDriver has a compatibility tool on their website and this is what it states for the 2015 Nissan Murano: https://us.bluedriver.com/pages/compatibility

I need coffee,

THANK YOU! I've used the BT Connector / APP system on two other vehicles in the past and I've had great luck with them. I didn't know if such a set up was available for the Murano or what the name of the app was. I will acquire these so I'll be prepared should trouble crop up in the future.

Many thanks, My Friend!

I used on of those when I had my 2009 BMW R1200R motorcycle. It worked very well and, unfortunately, I had to rely on it a lot. No more BMW bikes for me!

 

This is the reader I got to use with the CVTz50 app with my 2003 and 2021 MOs. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07Z9WS4Q7/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

According to reviews, make sure the one you receive has firmware 1.5, not 2.0. I guess 2.0 doesn't work with Nissan CVTs.

I used the free/demo of Torque Pro a little, but felt CVTz50 was an all-around good choice because it handled engine and CVT codes. As it was mentioned, the CVTz50 app lacks some of the proper readouts for 3rd Gens. It worked beautifully for my 2003. And if I had CVT codes being thrown in my 2021, I'm sure it would work well. Since Nissan tweaked some of the things in future models, CVTz50 doesn't have the updates and/or the need to monitor certain things. As an example, in my case the app was showing my 2021 MO's charging system wasn't up to snuff, and the app's warning light was flashing. With my 2003, this indicated a real problem, with the 2021, it's not a problem, the app apparently doesn't understand the new parameters of the 2021 charging system, so it triggers an alert.

 

Thank you Cryogenix1! I've already ordered the Veepeek dongle recommended by MuranoSL and I've downloaded Torque Pro onto my Android phone so I'm covered. Much appreciated!

 

The Veepeak wouldn't connect via Bluetooth for me, however the reviews do elude to this. They most likely push some of the returned dongles back out to other customers on accident. I would assume that's due to whatever someone selects as the reason for returning. I just bit the bullet instead and got a blue driver $100 at the time. I also have a foxwell scan tool that has the capability of bi-directional controls $200 at the time. They both have come in very handy for me.
