I have a 2002 Nissan Pathfinder LE and having some issues with the process for reprogramming the keyless remote. The instructions are below but I can't for some reason I am having issues getting past step 2 below, getting the vehicle into programming mode <Hazards Flash>. The Hazards do not flash. Tried this several times to no avail. Can anyone help me with this? Thanks

Instructions:
1. Close and lock all doors with the driver’s side power lock/unlock switch.

2. Insert key into ignition and remove it from the ignition key cylinder at least six times within 10 seconds. Your Hazard
Lamps will flash if you have performed this step successfully. NOTE: Withdraw key completely from ignition cylinder
each time. If this procedure is performed too fast, system will not enter programming mode.

3. Insert key into the ignition cylinder and turn to the ACC position.

4. Within 5 seconds, push ANY button on the remote transmitter. Your Hazard Lamps should flash. NOTE: Do not press
the button more than one time in the above step. If the button is pressed more than one time, the programming
procedure will not be successful.

5. If there are any remaining transmitters (including the old ones), unlock then lock all doors using the driver’s side
power lock/unlock switch and within 5 seconds, push ANY button on the next remote. Your Hazard Lamps should
flash. Repeat this step for each transmitter (including any existing transmitters).

6. Turn the key to the OFF position, remove keys from the ignition, unlock doors using the driver’s side power lock/unlock switch and open the driver side door.

twilliams, did you ever figure out the problem? I have the exact same problem on Qx4 and am still looking for a solution

Any insight appreciated!

I took my car to the dealer and they were saying it's an ECM issue and would cost $500-$1G to fix! What BS!
