P1610 Nissan Code - Lock Mode

How I can fix Nissan x terra code p 1610

The P1610 code means the you try to start your Xterra with a bad key or a key that has not been program to your Xterra. You have to have the dealer reprogram the key for you. You could also try disconnecting the car battery for a couple of hours, and the try to start the engine with a know good key.

Any way to bypass the immobilizer?

Unfortunately there is no way to bypass the immobilizer system.

If the system locks which is wat i think happened to my 2004 nissan maxima dealer only one can unlock it.

Sometimes disconnecting the car battery for a few hours will reset the system.

I just had a new key and ignition switch put in and nissan in Plattsburgh ny programed it and ran for a little and now nothing I have the p code.

You tried too many times to start the engine with a key that is not programmed to your Nissan. You have to have the dealer reprogram all the keys (at the same time) for you.

my nissan cedric 2001 VQ30DD also happen like this problem.Can't start the engine.Error code showing p1610.pls help me the best way for this problem.Engine Check light also not show.When i use the old engine,at this time no have the any problem.But,now after the new engine changed,i got this problem.pls

You have to reprogram the key

I have the same issue and I am just trying to get a price estimate on it how much did everyone pay to get it fixed?

Depends what is the problem. If the problem is a bad key, it depends on the model of your Nissan and how much the dealer charge to reprogram the key.

Before reprogram the keys, trr to unlock the system with known good key. As stated on the "Tech Notes" do the following:

ESCAPE FROM LOCK MODE
1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
2. Turn ignition switch ON with registered key. (Do not start engine.) Wait 5 seconds.
3. Return the key to OFF position.
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 twice (total of three cycles).
5. Start the engine.

It is the key and the computer I tried to many times to start my nissan pathfinder se before this it ran perfect it's been my daily driver.. I'm just trying to get a ball park figure way I know how much to save up
.

So if someone might be able to help me out with what the cost was for them would be awesome I know I need a new ecu unit and a new key I tried to call nissan and they won't give me a price on it because they wanna run a diagnosis on it first which I have already had done ..

What year is your pathfinder? an ECM is about $900, key about $75 and reprogram the keys and ECM $150 to $250.

My pathfinder is a 2002 and I called nissan today and they said it would be 1,355 for just the ecm unit

Has anybody that tried the method and that worked with a registered good key to unlocked the immobilized mode p1610 and started the engine ever?

i have a nissan altima02 i buy a new antena inmobilaizer and reprogram the new key he not started y need help

Is the "Security" light ON when you crank the engine? If is not ON, then you didn't properly reprogram the key.

2002 Altima 2.5...Question when NATS locks out, does it not allow the engine to crank over? Will the engine have spark and fuel pressure? Mine has nothing.

No, there is no spark or fuel pressure when the system is in lock mode. Try the steps above to escape from lock mode. If the problem persist you may have to have the dealer (or a locksmith) reprogram the key for you.

2012 nissan note 1300cc antitheft security code

If you have the P1610 code it means that the key you are using is either damage or has not be program to your vehicle. Try with another key.

i have nissan sunny2002
my car is problume no start engine but igneshion key loucked plz help me

You need to have the dealer or a locksmith reprogram the key.

I have a 03 altima it turn but won't crank

You have a problem with the ignition key. Either try another key or you have to have the dealer or a locksmith reprogram the key for you.

My Nissan Xtrail is loosing the code once programed. What could be the cause ?Once programming is done it starts well. But don't you remove the mechanical key from the ignition.The programming get lost.

What year is your Xtrail?
Either the key is not good or you are not properly reprogramming the key.

My almera n 16 2.2 di was connected to a computer. The result showed two errors P1610 and P1611. What to do. My mechanic says that the pump stew is broken. Is it right whether it is a key or immo mistake

Try starting you vehicle with a different key. If you have no more key, you may have to get a new key from the dealer dealer and have them reprogram the key.

Your mechanic is wrong, the fuel pump is not working because there is a problem with the key.

I have 06 Murano..key fob will open the doors turn the ignition and even attempts to crank (while in lock down mode). Regular keys will lock doors but will not unlock or even turn in ignition. Lock down is enabled because the security light is on while trying to crank.

Any help

Do you have antoher key? If you do, try the steps above to unlock and then try start with the other key. If you don't have another key, then you have to have the dealer reprogram o replace the key for you.

Saudações

Preciso de ajuda.

O meu Nissan Tiida 2007 tem problema.
Quando eu desligar a chave do carro não vai para zero, ela terminará em 1 e isso faz com que o controle remoto do carro não funcione, exiba o erro LOCK.
Eu tenho que usar as chaves do carro para abrir o carro e fechar.

Had code P 1610 and P 1614 took the car to dealer. They try to reset the system but no luck. Even purchase a new key. The car is still lock down. They tried to re flash both the ecm and bcm

What model and year is your Nissan? I never seen the ECM and BCM program causing that problem. You may have a problem with the IMMU

Hello i have a 2005 Nissan 350z, when i put in the key, the car CRANKS but wont start, when i put in the key and try to start it, the NATS Alarm red light doesnt disappear..the red light stays ON.. After 20 attempts and 20 min unlocking the door, turning the key on and off the ignitation, etc, it will finaly recoginze the key and will start perfectly. On other days, the car will start perfectly and will disable the alarm all the time. On other days, i struggle trying to disable the alarm. What COULD this be?! Is it the Key or the NATS antenna amp , Body control module (BCM) or (IMMU) Engine Control Module (ECM??

Do you have another key? or have you try with another key? If you did try with another key and you still have the problem, then the problem is more than likely the NATS Antenna on the steering switch. I have never seen an BCM or EMC causing that type of problems.

p 1610 nissan after I programe ECM the engine start, but, it won't less long I have to keep programe again. I want to know what cause problem?

Why did you reprogram the ECM? You may have to reprogram the keys to the ECM

Hi every one i have my brother with a nissan fuga 2007 module with code p1610, the mechanic tried to programme the keys but the process can not be completed, Changed ECM with another good used one but still does the same, Changed BCM with agood used one but still the programming process is not completed any one with the idea? The car uses intteligent keys with apush botton.

Thanks Team.

Are there any more codes? Unfortunately the P1610 code only means that the system is lock, but it doesn't actually give you the cause of the problem. My only advice is to have the dealer reprogram the key with the Nissan CONSULT, instead of replacing more parts.

Hi my nissan prezed i have problem with code p 1610 and I programme the keys car started and drive around,but when I cut the engine off it won't start again i have to keep reprogramme the keys all the time when i want to start the car, i try to replace ignition ring and ECM from another good car,but both vehicles end up same problem. If anyone can help me for this matter,please
thanks

What model and year is your Nissan?
Sounds like you the key has not been properly reprogrammed.

DEAR I HAVE NISSAN NAVARA 2015 DIESEL ENGINE WONT CRANK IGNITION TURNING ON BUT WONT CRANK OR START AND SECURITY RED LIGHT DOESN'T DISAPPEAR ALWAYS ON. I TRIED TO PROGRAM KEY ITS SHOWING COMPLETE AND SECURITY RED LIGHT DISAPPEAR TEMPORARY WHEN I TURN IGNITION OFF AGAIN ON ITS SHOW SAME PROBLEM AND THESE CODES SHOWING (P1610 LOCK MODE) (P1614 CHAIN OF IMMU-KEY) (P1622 INJ ADJ VAL UNRGST) (P16FF DON'T ERASE BEFORE CHECKING ENGDIAG).

Unfortunately I don't much experience with the Navara, but the P1614 usually means that the key is either bad or has not be programmed or the there is a problem with the NATS system control unit

sir thank you for your reply. but i have important one question that if Nissan car key not programmed that could make car wont's crank ???? because engine doesn't cranks or this mean there's other issue by your experience ??? because someone told me if key not programmed may be reason doesn't cranks ?

Correct, if the engine is not cranking at all, then there must be something else. If the key is not programmed, the engine should at least crank but no start.

You could have 2 problems, the no start problem and the problem with the keys.

Common no start problems are starter or the starter connection, or problems with the ignition switch.

okay thank you so much sir for your help first step i will try to program with new key then i see if security red light after few seconds disappear or not if yes then i will check connectors for starter. but security red light must disappear after few seconds in goods condition right ?

i have the same problem on 2 nissan pathfinder 2002 , please you got any solution yet if yes please contact me on [email protected]

i have a nissan xtrail 2000,its not cranking. I've tried so many things but I'm not seeing an engine check light, the vehicle wants to start but it just wont.. I need some assistance

If you have the P1620 code, then you should try reprogramming the key first

Not yet waiting for ordered key to program and check it again

Hello, I have an 1998 Nissan Almera 1.4 GX, petrol. Have lost my keys, tried with fake key. Engine cranked but no use. After two weeks have found the keys,... Now it is cranking but no ignition. Have also tried the reset, no use. Is there any suggestion? thank you very much.

Try disconnecting the car battery for about 1-2 hours to reset the system. If the problem persists, you may have to have a locksmith or the dealer reprogram the key o rest the system with an scanner.

Where can I find a 2001 Nissan Cefiro A33 immobilized?

Immobilizer

Unfortunately I don't have the manual for your vehicle. I apologize for the inconvenience.

My car had issues and I parked it for some times. It failed to start even though the ignition indicated to start. I am suspecting that it has entered code mode. Please what do I need to do?. Thanks

The car model is Nissan Sentra 200, 2007 model

Do you have another key? Sounds like the key may be failing.

My 02 altima se cranks but won’t start. Has a P0507, P1610, P1612. My car is stuck in my garage. I have an original key and second chip key made. I disconnected the battery for 30 min. And reconnected it, still won’t start.

Have you tried escape from escape mode:

ESCAPE FROM LOCK MODE
1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
2. Turn ignition switch ON with registered key. (Do not start engine.) Wait 5 seconds.
3. Return the key to OFF position.
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 twice (total of three cycles).
5. Start the engine.

If that doesn't work, then you may have to have a locksmith or the dealer reprogram the key for you.

Yes, I did it and still won't start. Can I take it to my regular mechanic or a nissan dealership? That sucks I have to get it towed. I'm not sure what you mean locksmith, a regular key locksmith?

Most locksmiths have the tools to reprogram the key and they can go to your house, otherwise you have to fin a mechanic that have the special scanner to reprogram keys. Although there are other things that may cause the no start problem, since you have the P160 and P1612, reprogramming the key is definitely the first step.

I called a locksmith. He said my keys were fine. Now I have to tow it to my mechanic.

Hi, I have this same problem. Did you fix your car?

hey I have a 2015 Nissan rogue, the car is immobilized and won't start; the battery died and must've triggered it. I've tried to jump the car via bypassing the starter relay with a jumper wire and still doesn't run. I honestly don't want to bring the car to a dealer and spend triple digits for their service; on top of towing the vehicle there.

I already tried the ignition method, doesn't work.

I scanned the car and I only get a U1000 (miscommunication code) basically the security system is keeping the ECU from cranking the engine.

help me out with another method of resetting the security system.

thanks and much appreciated

Besides the instructions to escape from "Lock Mode" above, the only other thing you can try is disconnecting the car battery for about 30 minutes to reset the system. If that doesn't work, you could try with you local locksmith. Most locksmiths have the tools to reprogram or diagnose key problems.

check for corrosion on yout battery terminals. or like in my 01 pathfinder check then main fuse mine melted right down, so i rigged it up with a phone charger until i came up up with something better. been driving like rhst for 8 months.

Hello pls I have Nissan amada is not state I most grogram it before stating

Locksmith reprogrammed my key car started one, two, three times then key stopped working again. Alarm light stays solid when trying to start.

What model and year is your vehicle? If the keys are OK and reprogrammed, then you may have a problem with the IMMU.

Hello, I've got the same problem moreover hazard light up and wiper still moves, I did program key In the way that you indicated, I guess it's not just programmed maybe PCM, so, kindly I need to advise.Wbr Sherif.

What model and year is your vehicle? Try disconnecting the car battery for about 1 hour.

Hello i hav a 2016 nissan urvan nv350, it has a trouble code oF P1610 N P1612, but my key doesnt have any immobilizer chip, the van keeps on cranking to no avail it never started, any thoughta how to repair this?

As far as I know all the Nissan models have the Immobilizer System. If you get the codes, either you are using a non programmed key or you have a faulty key. After you have to clear the codes and reset the system to reprogram the key.

reemplace bcm por qué encendía y no daba arranque programe y quedó al 100

Gracias!!

I got a 02 Nissan Altima 2.5 immobilizer on I turned off switch underneath the dash on accident when I went to pull the hood latch it's a little green light when I try to turn after that it won't start I've done everything you've said in previous don't know what to do now

The switch and green light must be an aftermarket alarm. Nissan does no have a switch under the dash. Do you have a picture of the switch?
Try locking and unlocking the driver door with the key. If that doesn't work, try disconnect and reconnecting the car battery to reset the alarm.

hello there....I got an issue with my Nissan atlas f24 year 2011...its not starting I got the DTC code p1614 chain of immu key and p1610 lock mode...the truck is not starting...can you help me please??

hello can you tell me how to clear the code and reset the key?? I have an autel maxicom mk 908pro as diagnostic tool??

Start by reprogramming all the keys to your Nissan. If you can't reprogram the keys, then you must replace the NATS antenna to fix the problem.

Hi I have a 2002 nissian pathfinder in lock mode is there anyway to over ride the lock mode system

No, unfortunately there is no way to do it.

So from my understanding if the battery is disconnected for so much time it should reset the whole system how true is that and how would one know if the system reset or not

if the battery is disconnected for so much time it should reset the whole system how true is that

Yes, sometimes by disconnecting the car battery the lock mode will clear and the engine will start. There is no information about this procedure in the factory service manual, but we did it at our repair shop and it worked.

how would one know if the system reset or not

If the system resets, then the engine will start, otherwise you must have the dealer, or a locksmith try to clear the codes and reprogram the keys.

One more question is it possible for the dealership to just do away with the system cause I no longer want it on my car

No one can do it. The system is wired and programmed to the Engine Control Module, and Body Control Module.

So can I go to a dealership of any kind that sells Nissans and they can reprogram my key?

Any Nissan dealership will have the tool to reprogram the keys. Some locksmiths also have the tools to reprogram the keys.
