Hey what ups guys? Really need some help with this issue. My 02 Qx4 started up fine this morning, for the past few days I've been having trouble with my battery. After I fueled up I had the car off with the lights on. When I went to start the vehicle it didn't want to start. Usually starts after a few cranks but not this time. Got a boost turned on for about 5 seconds then turned off. Tried starting it again and it just cranks, with no start.
Took it to my local mechanic ran some test and came up with a "code of P1610, when this code appears ECM detects failure in security system. Most common problem with system is when a uncoded ignition key is used." My mechanic was using Mitchell Repair information and the diagnosis workflow chart suggest that all ignition keys be brought to the dealer so that they can be reprogrammed. All fuses were checked and were good. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Also can I take the keys to a Nissan dealer? Or do I just have to take it to an Infiniti dealer?

You can do it yourself?! Fueler, email me them when you get a chance.
Or if it's in the Service manual, let me know and I'll look it up.

I could have sworn I seen instructions how to do it with just a procedure.... I went to Alcatraz locksmith in Chula Vista and paid $45 (inluded cutting and programming) I found something in the service manual, under EL - electric and then IVIS (infiniti vehicle immobiliser system) and it says you need a special device, but I didnt see alcatraz use anything, the guy just had instructions in a binder and did it in 5 mins I swear ive seen simple instructions somewhere on the internet, maybe i was looking at how to program the REMOTE?
