light

[plamenbelchev]

I have a new 2009 Versa, since last day the Security indicator light is blinking and doesn't go off, I don't have an intelligent key, so I checked the manuas and it said that it goes on when the ignition swithc is in the LOCK, OFF or ACC positions. Well the key is not even in, and it still blinks. What should I do?

What is showing? A small key in red? And it flashes?

On my 08 Versa, every time I lock my car (whether I am inside it with the keys in my hand) or I lock it after I get out, the light flashes to let me know that it is locked. I guess it is a small security feature, to prevent people from breaking in. Not really sure, but mine does that all the time too.

My 2009 didn't come with a Security System

I don't have an alarm system on mine. And yes the light blinks all the time. It's no big deal - and like iluv says it's just a theft deterrant more than anything...it's a dummy light

It's suppose to do that. It's part of the security feature, where you have to have the proper chipped key to start the car. Even though you dont have intelligent key there is still a chip in your key.I dont know how the versa is but on my f150 if i used a blank key to start it the light would stay on and the truck would shut off after 30 seconds if it didnt detect the chip. You could only do this 3 times then the computer wouldn't let it start again untill it was reset at the dealership.

Are you sure about that? A few people here have made a copy of their keys with those switchblade style all-in-one remote FOBs you can find off ebay and they can drive the car with it.

In the 2009 manual on page 2-16 it talks about the NISSAN Vehicle Immobilizer System. It says you need a registered key for the vehicle to start. It also shows the function of the light. Thats why nissan wants crazy money for a spare key. This is in the USA anyway I dont know if its the same in other countries. Theres got to be a way to program another key. In my f150 when I got another chipped key, I could program it myself as long as I had 2 other keys. If I remember right I had to put the original key in the ignition turn it on but not start it, take it out, then use my other key that was already programmed and turn it on then put the blank key in and on then it was programmed.People who bought the keys on ebay probably did something similar or had dealer program it for them.

Yes they have done that, but they have had to get the chip removed from the original key. I just asked one of the members here that has a Tiida from Brazil. He said he took the key to a locksmith, they heated up the key enough to remove the chip, then inserted it inside the key fob.

Even the dealer explained to me when I picked up my Versa that the car will only start with the two keys provided. One of the set of keys has a tag attached to it with a number on it. That number will help them make a copy if you lose your keys. That is why I keep the tag in a file with my Versa stuff, just incase both keys are misplaced, I have the tag to get a replacement key w/ chip made!

Had no idea on that. I wasn't told that when I got my Versa. I'm using the spare now because the cheap plastic that holds onto a key ring broke

that is the imobilizer as far as I know telling you it is now active.
