This electronic part appeared 30 years ago and aspires to prevent the theft of your Nissan Sentra.

Enter the code to turn off the immobiliser
First procedure, your key no longer enables your Nissan Sentra to start, you want to deactivate the immobiliser of your Nissan Sentra, but first of all you should try this process to start it and take it to a mechanic check that you can not perform a less significant operation to reestablish the normal start of your car. In fact, with your car you should have a spare key (which you should try and which should start your Nissan Sentra), 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 car 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 full code. This should let you start your Nissan Sentra without having to remove the immobiliser.
