How your immobiliser system functions on Nissan Almera
Before explaining the different choices available to you, here is a short intro to explain the purpose and operation of the immobilizer in your Nissan Almera. This electronic part came out 30 years ago and aspires to prevent the theft of your Nissan Almera. In fact, thanks to a transponder and an antenna (coil) included in the key, and, a immobilisation control box included in the ECU and a reception antenna on the neiman, your Nissan Almera will go each time you insert the key in the ignition, it checks that the code emitted by your key is indeed the one asked by your immobilization box. It is only at this instant, that it will allow you to start. It is thanks to RFID technology (chip in the key) that this device will work.

Enter the code to turn off the immobiliser
First process, your key no longer allows your Nissan Almera to start, you want to deactivate the immobiliser of your Nissan Almera, but first of all you should try this process to start it and take it to a garage check that you can not execute a less important operation to restore the normal start of your automobile. In fact, with your automobile you should have a spare key (which you should try and which should start your Nissan Almera), but if you don’t have it you should at least have the “code card”, it contains the start code. Thanks to this code, you will still be able to start your automobile by entering it manually. To do this, turn on the ignition, use your centralized button to enter the digits, several quick presses (example: 2 for digit 2) then a stop of one and a half seconds to validate the digit and resume, replicate the operation until you have entered the whole code. This should enable you to start your Nissan Almera without having to remove the immobiliser.
