Best answer

The code "U3FFF" is generally considered to be a non-specific or generic fault code. It can appear when an OBDII scanner (On-Board Diagnostics II) is unable to properly interpret the data from a vehicle’s computer system, or when it encounters an unrecognized or proprietary code from a manufacturer. This might happen if the scanner isn't fully compatible with the vehicle's diagnostic system or if there's an issue with the scanner itself.

If you encounter this code, it's a good idea to:

  1. Ensure that the scanner is compatible with your vehicle.
  2. Check for any firmware updates for your scanner that might improve compatibility or fix bugs.
  3. Try using a different scanner to see if the code persists.

You may need a nissan consult 2 to read the code correctly, the reader you used is not compatible with your car so the code it gives does not make sense.
