Well, many newer ECUs use CAN (Car Area Network), which is an upgraded protocol from the original OBD-II, and this includes our 370Z. However, I was under the impression that they're backwards compatible for all of the basic stuff (like reading and clearing OBD-II codes). When I go out for some food in a few, I'll try my older ScanGauge on my Z, I'm sure it knows nothing about CAN.
