Nissan Patrol Y61 CAN Flash Information
Nissan Patrol Y61 CAN Flash Information
The UpRev Cipher cable uses two different channels of communication with the ECU:
1) ISO 14230 KLine (single wire)
2) CAN bus (two wires: high and low)
For fastest reflash times, both communication channels must be present, and a reflash only takes about
1 minute.
If CAN bus is not available, the ECU can still be flashed entirely over the KLine with no hardware
modification necessary, but this reflash process is slower (about 15 minutes instead of 1 minute).
The purpose of this document is to provide information to anyone who would like to enable CAN
communication with their ECU. All modifications described below are entirely optional, and only serve to
make the reflash process faster.
There are two possible issues with CAN bus on Patrol ECUs:
1. The wires are not connected from OBDII port to the ECU. From what we have seen, this is an
issue on all Y61 Patrols.
2. Some ECUs are missing a CAN transceiver chip which is necessary for CAN communications.
This is only on some Y61 Patrols. We do not know exactly which vehicles are missing this chip,
but we suspect that it is only on vehicles without electronic throttle.
Both of these issues must be addressed to enable faster ECU reflashes.
1) Wiring the OBD Port
Two pins must be added to the OBDII port, and wired to the appropriate pins on the ECU harness.
CAN High: ECU Harness Pin 174 > OBDII Pin 6
CAN Low: ECU Harness Pin 171 > OBDII Pin 14
See the figures below for pin locations

2) Checking for CAN Transceiver chip
Some Patrol ECUs are missing the CAN transceiver chip and supporting components. We have not
been able to verify which ones have or do not have this chip for every Patrol ECU part number.
To check if the chip exists on your ECU, disconnect the ECU from the vehicle and remove the 4 screws
which hold cover plate on the ECU.
Once the cover is removed, compare your ECU to the images below to determine if CAN transceiver is
present.
If your ECU is missing this chip and you wish to add it, UpRev can perform this modification for you.
