Nissan Vehicle Immobilizer System , PROBLEM!

Need_NewName · 01-02-2015, 07:16 PM

Car starts and shuts down right after!
I have the SES - Nissan Vehicle Immobilizer System - light on.
I have already reset it, according the manual. Also tried different battery, checked all fuses & relays, I heard the Fuel pump upon car starting.
Anyone have any ideas. Additionally no trouble codes come up on OBD scanner.

Take it to a dealer.

Try disconnecting the negative battery cable for 15-20 mins and then reconnect.

On the 350Z if you had the same problem, it usually required a visit to the dealer to have your key reset. I'm sure they have to reset something in the FOB.

Probably going to require a trip to the dealer but I'd try 37zeroZ's disconnect-the-battery trick first. You don't have to wait so long if you remove the cable and then step on the brake pedal for a few seconds (the load of the brake lights will drain any reserve power in the system).

is there any software/program OBD, that we can do this ourselves?

You may find some helpful info in the FSM but all the security stuff is poorly documented and usually requires the factory CONSULT programmer.

Try to plug the FOB into the car via the receptacle on the lower left of steering wheel. You must take the key out of the FOB first, I think. You can also try another trick. Lock the doors and shut the car door. Unlock the drivers side door with the key. If the security system has been tripped, this is one way to reset it.
