The Nissan Consult III Plus scan tool is required to complete the process of flashing/reprogramming Nissan ECUs. This process works for any computer in any Nissan vehicle and is the same process if you are using the factory tool (Nissan Consult) or a J2534 tool.
A Consult3+ clone can be used to flash ECUs but will only work on pre 2016 Nissans. For newer Nissans the reflash file must be purchased for the Nissan website and is an additional purchase to the Nissan subscription purchase that you must also make . Some vehicles require you to email Nissan to have the file sent to you to purchase the file but require subscription purchase
