Nissan Bulletins are intended for use by qualified technicians, not 'do-it-yourselfers'. Qualified technicians are properly trained individuals who have the equipment, tools, safety instruction, and know-how to do a job properly and safely. NOTE: If you believe that a described condition may apply to a particular vehicle, DO NOT assume that it does. See your Nissan dealer to determine if this applies to your vehicle. 1/4 To Test Intelligent Key Synchronization: 1. Place the incident Intelligent Key outside the vehicle (minimum distance – 10 feet) to avoid detection of the Intelligent Key by the vehicle. See Figure 2 below. Figure 2 Go to the next page. 2/4 NTB16-028a NOTE: Steps 2a, b, & c MUST be done in close time and sequence together in order for the test to be performed correctly. 2a. Open the door, enter the vehicle, and then close the door. Press the ignition button, and then immediately perform step 2b. At this time, due to no Intelligent Key in or around the vehicle, the BCM will activate only the ignition switch antenna. Ignition switch antenna will become active and will transmit a signal to detect any Intelligent Key in range Figure 3 2b. WITHIN 30 SECONDS of step 2a above, FIRST have an associate hand the Intelligent Key to you, THEN immediately perform step 2c. Have an associate deliver the incident Intelligent Key WITHOUT HAVING TO OPEN THE DOOR Figure 4 2c. Place the Intelligent Key next to the ignition button as shown in Figure 5 below (emblems align with center of buttons). Do not depress the ignition button. Place Intelligent Key next to ignition button and wait for tones Figure 5 If two short tones are heard, the Intelligent Key was de-synchronized but is now re-synchronized and should function normally again.
