Hi there. In some case, when a professional mechanic is not able to connect an OBD-II diagnostic scanner to the ECU, it’s an indication of a blown fuse or electrical relay. In other instances, it’s due to the ECU being damaged and non-responsive; which would require a replacement and reprogramming by a Nissan dealership or specialist with the appropriate Nissan-specific hardware and software programs unfortunately. The best and most affordable way to determine this is to have a professional mobile mechanic come to your location to complete a car is hard to start inspection. They will determine what is causing the communication error to the ECU and provide you with the best advice on how to proceed.
