Where is the anti-theft control module of Nissan Tiida located?

Anti-theft control box is located under the steering wheel on the left side of the dashboard. Below is the relevant introduction: 1. Introduction to Tiida: Tiida is the hatchback version of Latio. Viewed from the side, Tiida has softer lines. Without the tail section, the hatchback Latio appears more refined with smoother rear lines. The trapezoidal-shaped triangular window near the C-pillar creates a downward tapering effect, giving the rear a visually lowered appearance that enhances the vehicle's sense of stability. 2. Exterior: The reasonable exterior design gives Tiida a drag coefficient of 0.297, slightly lower than Latio's 0.314. With a wheelbase of 2600mm, Tiida is 89mm longer than Golf. Its dimensions are 4205mm/1695mm/1540mm (length/width/height), which are not particularly large for its class. However, the front row headroom reaches 960mm, while the slightly smaller rear space still offers 940mm.
The anti-theft control module of my Nissan Tiida is located behind the dashboard, just below the steering column. I discovered that removing the trim panel in the driver's footwell allows clear visibility of it. This small box controls the entire anti-theft system, managing functions like locking the car with the key or triggering the alarm. If the car alarm goes off randomly or the engine fails to start, the module might be faulty. Though its position is discreet, it's not hard to locate—just use a flashlight and small tools to gently lift the cover panel. I recommend first checking for loose or corroded connectors before rushing to replace the part. Some owners overlook this spot and end up tampering with other components unnecessarily, which can cause delays. For daily maintenance, parking the car in a garage helps prevent dust and moisture buildup, while avoiding high temperatures protects the circuitry, ensuring more stable anti-theft functionality.
