Reprograming
The key fob is among the most crucial components of any vehicle. The small remote lets car owners lock and unlock their vehicle, as well as start it from a distance. Like every other gadget it is prone to issues from time-to-time. In certain instances the issues can be solved by reprogramming the key fob to recognize the vehicle. This process isn't as complicated as it may seem, and it's something that most Nissan drivers can accomplish on their own.
To begin you must first remove the mechanical key from the slot on the front of the fob. This is a safety measure to prevent someone from getting the car started when they are close to it. Once the key has been removed, the top of your fob will have a notch which can be utilized with a screwdriver order to separate the two halves. The old battery has to be removed and replaced by the new one. Be sure to make use of the CR2025 battery, as this is the type of battery commonly used in Nissan key fobs.
It is a good idea after the new battery has been installed, to test the keyfob by pressing one of the buttons while you are away from the vehicle. The reprogramming will be successful if the car responds by flashing its lights or declaring it's ready for start.
