Nissan Sentra Vehicle Data API: Signals & Model Years

DIMO gives developers API access to Nissan Sentra vehicle data. Model years 2013 and newer connect with a DIMO device (DIMO LTE R1). Headline signals include odometer, fuel percentage and vehicle speed.

DIMO gives developers API access to vehicle-state data: diagnostics, fault codes, battery and fuel health, odometer, and maintenance signals. The Nissan Sentra is an ICE vehicle that connects through a DIMO device, the DIMO LTE R1, on 2013 and newer model years, and this coverage has been tested. Vehicle owners consent to and control sharing, so builders get data with clear provenance.

No factory connectivity?

Nissan Sentra model years 2013 and newer have no OEM cloud connection listed. For these years, a DIMO device (DIMO LTE R1) plugs into the OBD-II port and streams vehicle signals once the owner connects it and consents to sharing.

See the developer quickstart for how owners connect vehicles and grant access.

Build it

Query the latest Nissan Sentra signals with the DIMO TypeScript SDK. The vehicle owner must first share access with your app through DIMO Connect.

import { DIMO } from '@dimo-network/data-sdk';

const dimo = new DIMO('Production');
const tokenId = Number(process.env.DIMO_TOKEN_ID); // from DIMO Connect

const developerJwt = await dimo.auth.getDeveloperJwt({
  client_id: process.env.DIMO_CLIENT_ID,
  domain: process.env.DIMO_REDIRECT_URI,
  private_key: process.env.DIMO_API_KEY,
});
const vehicleJwt = await dimo.tokenexchange.getVehicleJwt({
  ...developerJwt,
  tokenId,
});

// Latest Nissan Sentra signals
const data = await dimo.telemetry.query({
  ...vehicleJwt,
  query: `
    query {
      signalsLatest(tokenId: ${tokenId}) {
      powertrainTransmissionTravelledDistance {
        value
        timestamp
      }
      powertrainFuelSystemRelativeLevel {
        value
        timestamp
      }
      speed {
        value
        timestamp
      }
      }
    }`,
});
console.log(JSON.stringify(data, null, 2));

FAQ

Can I read fuel level remotely on a Nissan Sentra?

Yes, through a DIMO device. Query the Telemetry API with a Vehicle JWT for powertrainFuelSystemRelativeLevel (percent) or powertrainFuelSystemAbsoluteLevel (liters).

How do I track a Nissan Sentra with no connected services?

Use a DIMO device (the DIMO LTE R1 for this vehicle). Once the owner shares the vehicle with your Developer License, exchange your Developer JWT for a Vehicle JWT through the Token Exchange API and read its signals from the Telemetry API.

How do I detect idling on a Nissan Sentra?

Idling comes from a DIMO device. Call the Telemetry API segments query with mechanism set to idling, which finds contiguous periods where engine RPM stays in the idle range. You can tune the upper RPM bound with maxIdleRpm, which defaults to 1000.

How do I verify Nissan Sentra mileage?

The odometer signal comes from a DIMO device. To get a verifiable reading, call the Attestation API at POST /v2/attestation/odometer-statement/:tokenId with a Vehicle JWT, then retrieve the resulting rawVC through the Telemetry API.

How do I detect harsh braking on a Nissan Sentra?

Harsh braking events come from a DIMO device. Create a webhook in the Vehicle Triggers API with service set to events and metricName behavior.harshBraking, or request HarshBraking counts per trip with eventRequests in the Telemetry API segments query.

Which Nissan Sentra model years work with DIMO?

DIMO devices have been seen working on Nissan Sentra model years 2013 and newer. For older vehicles, contact DIMO for additional support.

Do I need hardware to get Nissan Sentra data?

Yes. DIMO lists no OEM cloud connection for the Nissan Sentra, so data comes from a DIMO device.
