How your immobiliser system functions on Nissan Versa

Before describing the different solutions available to you, here is a short introduction to describe the role and functions of the immobilizer in your Nissan Versa. This electronic component came out 30 years ago and aspires to prevent the theft of your Nissan Versa. Indeed, 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 Versa will go each time you insert the key in the ignition, it controls that the code emitted by your key is indeed the one required by your immobilization box. It is only at this instant, that it will permit you to turn on your car. It is thanks to RFID technology (chip in the key) that this system will work.

The different alternatives to bypass the immobiliser on your Nissan Versa

Enter the code to turn off the immobiliser

Indeed, with your car you should have a spare key (which you should try and which should start your Nissan Versa), 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 procedure until you have entered the entire code. This should enable you to start your Nissan Versa without having to remove the immobiliser.

Manually remove your immobilizer
