Reprograming

The key fob is one the most important parts of any vehicle. The tiny remote allows owners to lock and unlock their cars and also start from a distance. Like other devices it may have issues from time-to-time. In certain instances the issue can be solved by reprogramming the key fob so that it recognizes the vehicle. This isn't as complicated as it may appear, and is something that many Nissan drivers can do on their own.

To begin the process, the owner must take the mechanical key from the slot on the front of the fob. This is a precautionary measure to prevent anyone from accidently starting the car while they are close to it. When the key is removed the notch will appear on the top of the fob which can be turned by an screwdriver to break from the two parts of the fob. The old battery needs to be removed and replaced with the new one. Make sure you make use of a CR2025 battery, as it is the battery that is commonly used in Nissan key fobs.

After the new battery is in place, it's recommended to test the key fob by standing away from the vehicle and pressing any buttons. The reprogramming is successful if the vehicle responds by flashing its lights or signaling that it's now ready to start.

This will split the fob's casing into two pieces, allowing you to remove the old battery and replace it with a new one. Note the location of the old battery.
