Maxima Immobilizer Questions
Bob
miles. It cranks, no fuel, Security light is on with key in ON position.
The dealer just told me that I need to have it towed in for repair. Is
there any other solution, workaround?
Can anyone tell me what caused this?
Is there a way to bypass this unwanted 'feature'? Any information on this
would be appreciated.
Thanks, Bob

You may just have a weak battery sometimes the Max will still crank but
voltage is still low and the computer won't let fuel pump start. This
happened to me with my 98 Max.
NissTech
NATS ( Nissan Anti Theft System) is preventing it from starting.
If more than 3 attempts have been made to start the car the NATS system put
the car in lock mode, once in lock mode there is nothing that can be done.
It will need to be towed to the dealership to have the lock out condition
cleared.
Causes for lock mode
1. use of and unregistered key
2. use of an non chip key
3. interference from another transponder device like a Mobil speedpass.
another possibility is that the IMMU unit has gone bad and the system does
not recognize the key(s)
be sure to take all the keys with you to the dealership as they all need to
be programmed at the same time..
Bottom line here is the car needs to go to the dealership

the keys need to be reprogramed to it. This happened to me about a
year ago on my wifes car.

I would take my chances of getting it snached before having to go through
all that crazy digital stuff.

Nissan Tech, you would see that he says, "...bottom line here is that
the car needs to go to the dealership."

enough to pull this guys head out of his ass.
He never reads, ak a make that , comprehends the post,,just sees the
word DEALER and goes into a meaningless tirade,
Maybe he got fired from a Dealer - which makes me all the more
comfortable generally recommending that people take their $35K cars
there to ensure they get fixed properly.
As usual, he makes up nonsense - like getting the "tire pressure
checked at the dealer". Apparently ONE thinks that check engine
lights, dirty fuel injectors, the ECU, the MAF sensor, O2 sensors,
and the like also fall into the "tire pressure" general maintenance
classification.
Nissan tech is a real mechanic, who obviously understands real 21st
century cars, ONE isn't a mechanic, he just plays one on the
internet. He has never made a single usefull post - all he ever does
is tell people that do that they are wrong, because he thinks so.
Oh and BTW,,,your now probably on Ones "flame list" for pointing out
his blatant stupidity - you will soon have to put him on your ignore
list like I did.

in for reprogramming. I do remember accidently putting the key from my Olds
Bravada in the Maxima's ignition at some point and that probably caused
this. I had no idea that this 'trap' existed, and from now on will be
watching what keys I am carrying around in my pockets.
But this permanent immobilizing is lame. I have no fear of thief where I
live and would surely disable this feature if possible now that I have been
a victim of its consequences. Too bad that they did not provide a simple
way for the owner to reset the ignition. After all, I do have two keys
that, until now, were allowed to start my car. One misuse of an incorrect
key should not leave me in need of a tow. Luckly for me I was not somewhere
far from home! Certainly a better recovery system could have been devised.
Thanks again for the advice however, Bob

Again you post lies,,,
One person, who owned a 95, with 200K on it (book value of about 1500
bucks), said it was easy to do,,,might be worth risking on a car that
old, the original posters car was a 2004.
I said its easier to screw up,,for 200 bucks you can have a dealer do
a complete de carb and flush the fuel injectors - using Nissan
approved solvents,,,and then they will test drive it and run a
diagnostic,,, The original poster had a P0170 code - most likely not
even a TB issue anyway,,,,the evil dealer could have diagnosed that
to.
Me thinks your the reincarnation of that moron willkieup - he thought
all problems could be solved using a can of contact cleaner and a cue
tip - and if you didn't believe him you could go to his 15 years out
of date car repair web site for even more laughs.

I read about this lady with a high dollar MB having this same problem. Ended
up costing her around $900 US dollars to have the MB Dealer get it going.
OUCH!!!

Please re post any constructive information that you have posted on
this group - say repair costs, trouble code interpretations, and so
forth,,,
Please post any situations where a major repair issue did not end up
having to be fixed by a dealer.....I am not talking about your silly
tire pressure changing oil nonsense.
Answer the question - where you fired from a Nissan dealership - you
seem to have some pathological hatred of them,,? When Nissan Tech told
the poster his car had to go to the dealer, you apparently couldnt
even comprehend his post properly - and burst into your anti dealer
diatribe again.
