Nissan Car Key Replacement

Replacing a Nissan key fob battery is generally an easy and simple task. But first you'll need to know if your car uses an intelligent fob, push to start button or regular remote/non-transponder key.

You'll also require your key code which should be kept in a safe location and must match the one that came with your vehicle.

Transponder Keys

Often found in newer cars transponder keys are typically found in newer cars. They contain an RFID microchip inside the key that transmits a unique code to the car every time it is placed in the ignition. It is designed to stop theft by making sure that only the correct key can be used to start the car. Contact your local dealership or locksmith to see the demonstration of this technology.

When the transponder is inserted in the ignition, the key transmits an information to the chip that is inside the engine control unit (ECU) of the vehicle. The ECU checks to see if the key's code on the key matches the digital serial number of the ECU. If it does then the ECU then disengages the immobilizer and allows the engine to start. If the code is not match and the ECU will reject the signal and keep the engine from beginning.

These keys are more expensive than traditional keys, however they provide additional security. However car thieves have changed over time and found ways to get around this anti-theft system and so the additional cost isn't enough to deter them entirely.

Many people are wondering if they can copy a transponder key at home - the answer is yes, but it's best to leave it to professional auto locksmiths. Besides, the process can vary based on the vehicle's model and make.

Mechanical Keys

Many older Nissan cars came with mechanical keys. These keys, which were made of metal, did not have remote functions, and could only be used to open the doors of the car and the ignition cylinders. If your key breaks or the case is damaged, a locksmith can typically replace the internal parts and create a replacement that operates like new again. A reputable and qualified auto locksmith should also be able to cut a new key for a much lower cost than what the dealership would charge.

There are a variety of kinds of mechanical keys, each of which has their own distinct replacement procedure. Linear switches are equipped with a linear actuation chart, for instance. When you press the key down it will move until it reaches the stopper. When the key is inserted into the ignition, the switch will send an electronic signal to the car to turn it up.

Remotes
