J2534-1 Re/Programming
Tutorial for Purchasing NERS Software
Software updated April 26, 2019 to version # 04.03.00. It is recommended the latest version of NERS be installed before connecting to a vehicle.
This NERS software supports reprogrammable Engine and Transmission control units from 1999 to 2019 model year vehicles, and 2005 MY and later VIN writing into ECUs, when using a Nissan validated pass-through device. Click the Reprogramming Tab for additional information on reprogramming. This software only provides ECU reprogramming, blank programming and VIN writing capability. It does not provide diagnostic or key programming capability. For Engine and Transmission control unit reprogramming and VIN writing capability on 2020 MY & newer, please use CONSULT-III plus or CONSULT-III plus R2R software.
Vehicle reprogramming requires the use of the following:
- Nissan validated J2534-1 device
- Nissan ECU Reprogramming Software (NERS)
- Personal computer running Windows XP (SP2 or later) or Windows 7 or 10 64Bit
- Applicable reprogram file
Nissan tested and validated the below listed devices. Nissan does not recommend the use of any other J2534-1 device not listed here.

The serial number will display when the VI is recognized. Connect a battery maintainer or smart charger set to reflash mode or a similar setting. If the vehicle battery voltage drops below 12.0V or rises above 15.5V during reprogramming, the TCM may be damaged. Turn the hazard warning lamps ON. o Turn OFF all other vehicle electrical loads such as exterior lights, interior lights, HVAC, blower, rear defogger, audio, NAVI, seat heater, steering wheel heater, etc. If a vehicle electrical load remains ON, the TCM may be damaged. Be sure to connect the AC Adapter. If the CONSULT PC battery voltage drops during reprogramming, the process will be interrupted and the TCM may be damaged. Turn OFF all external Bluetooth® devices (e.g., cell phones, printers, etc.) within range of the CONSULT PC and the VI. If Bluetooth® signal waves are within range of the CONSULT PC or VI during reprogramming, reprogramming may be interrupted and the TCM may be damaged. 4/13 NTB22-082A 4.
