Thanks NissTech and others. Looks like I have no choice but to get it towed in for reprogramming. I do remember accidently putting the key from my Olds Bravada in the Maxima's ignition at some point and that probably caused this. I had no idea that this 'trap' existed, and from now on will be watching what keys I am carrying around in my pockets. But this permanent immobilizing is lame. I have no fear of thief where I live and would surely disable this feature if possible now that I have been a victim of its consequences. Too bad that they did not provide a simple way for the owner to reset the ignition. After all, I do have two keys that, until now, were allowed to start my car. One misuse of an incorrect key should not leave me in need of a tow. Luckly for me I was not somewhere far from home! Certainly a better recovery system could have been devised. Thanks again for the advice however, Bob "Chuck In Dallas" <goldmax60 (AT) comcast (DOT) net> wrote in message news:mmqlf2dfckln7q3c4tn9epg7rpjtlqrp8t (AT) 4ax (DOT) com... But, it won't run now. It won't run without the immobilizer module. "Chuck In Dallas" <goldmax60 (AT) comcast (DOT) net> wrote in message news:31gkf2lmers6kav7b9lb7ja0vjn7ape5a1 (AT) 4ax (DOT) com... NissTech's answer is right on the money. After the unit is replaced, the keys need to be reprogramed to it. This happened to me about a year ago on my wifes car. It appears that I have an immobilizer issue with my 1999 Maxima at 100K miles. It cranks, no fuel, Security light is on with key in ON position. The dealer just told me that I need to have it towed in for repair. Is there any other solution, workaround? Can anyone tell me what caused this? Is there a way to bypass this unwanted 'feature'? Any information on this would be appreciated. Thanks, Bob === I would take my chances of getting it snached before having to go through all that crazy digital stuff. ==== |
up costing her around $900 US dollars to have the MB Dealer get it going.
OUCH!!!

Well, the distance yours has been parked up your rear of late, you should know. He never reads, ak a make that , comprehends the post,,just sees the word DEALER and goes into a meaningless tirade, That is just another childish bit of crap by you. You 'need' to take your vehicle to a dealer as you don't seem to be able to check tire pressure or fluid levels on your own. Did you notice how many others said cleaning the throttle body was EASY to do while you said it had to be done by the dealer. Maybe he got fired from a Dealer - which makes me all the more comfortable generally recommending that people take their $35K cars there to ensure they get fixed properly. Sounds more like you OWN a dealership. Or should I say your dad does. As usual, he makes up nonsense - like getting the "tire pressure checked at the dealer". Apparently ONE thinks that check engine lights, dirty fuel injectors, the ECU, the MAF sensor, O2 sensors, and the like also fall into the "tire pressure" general maintenance classification. I certasinly do not. I also believe that you don't need to be that clever to clean your throttle body. If the person is as inept as you appear to be, perhaps it is best to have the dealer do everything. I gather you can't change your own oil either. Nissan tech is a real mechanic, who obviously understands real 21st century cars, He certainly seems to. He probably also knows that you don't have to take your vehicle to the dealer like you do for everything. all he ever does is tell people that do that they are wrong, because he thinks so. That is an outright lie. The ONLY person I have said was wrong was YOU. You seem to have taken offense to that. Grow up. Oh and BTW,,,your now probably on Ones "flame list" for pointing out his blatant stupidity The funny thing is that you percieve anything I have said to you to be a 'flame'. More childish comments. How thin IS your skin anyway? you will soon have to put him on your ignore list like I did. Yes, sure you did. You are too worried about how people laugh at your chemical engineering skills to killfile anyone. |
