Yellow key light on dash?

south · 07-18-2021, 08:43 PM

To start off i have an 09 370z, the key fob is fairly(1yr) new from the dealership. It’s a actual “z” key fob that the 2009s didn’t come with. Also the fuse for the steering wheel lock is gone. Previous owner must have removed it. Apparently they have some sort of steering lock problem. So yesterday i was driving and the light just popped up out of nowhere it seems. The car starts and runs just fine no problems there, the steering wheel does turn all the way when the car is off. Im just wondering if any of you guys have figured out how to get rid of it? I’m not particularly fond of dash lights lol. Any helped would be appreciated thanks!

Probably something with the newish key fob. Make the dealer fix it. There is no dash light for the steering wheel lock.

You can download a PDF of the Owner's Manual from Nissan's web site.

I had the light come on in my car the other day as well. I also don't have the Steering lock fuse.

I disconnected the battery, left it disconnected then upon connection the light was gone.

When this happens in Infinitis it's due to water drips from the sunroof into the BCM. Try the battery option and report if this works.
