What is the reason for the Nissan key ID error?
2 Answers
Nissan key ID error occurs due to improper key installation, battery issues, or interference from surrounding environments or devices. Below is a detailed introduction about car remote keys: Overview: Car remote keys utilize the wireless remote control function of the central locking system, allowing users to remotely unlock and lock doors without inserting the key into the keyhole. The advantage is the ability to unlock and lock the car from a distance anytime, anywhere. Additionally, it can sense the vehicle's location. Components and Classification: The car remote key system mainly consists of two parts: the transmitter and the receiver. Transmitter: Composed of the transmission switch, transmission antenna (keypad), integrated circuit, etc. Based on usage methods, it can be classified into three types: active mode, passive mode, and coil induction mode.
My car is an older model Dongfeng Nissan, and I've encountered this key ID error issue. It worked fine when new, but later it would occasionally show an ID error and fail to start, which was really frustrating. Changing the battery didn't help—it might actually be poor contact with the chip inside the key. Older keys that have been dropped or exposed to water often develop loose solder joints. Another possibility is strong electronic signal interference nearby. For example, my company's underground garage has high-power magnetic equipment that frequently causes false alarms. If all else fails, you'll need to visit the after-sales service to have the key reprogrammed and matched with the car's computer, which is usually a quick fix. Remember to bring the spare key along for matching too, otherwise you might have to deal with the same issue again later.
