ALARM

Hi gem1966,

I believe your system is equipped with immobilizer and you would not be able to start the vehicle unless the correct key with transponder is used.

Reprogramming of the immobilizer would be required and the place to go to is your local dealer.

I'm going to try not to make this very long winded, but....

A few weeks ago my I drove to my moms house and when I got ready to leave my car would not start. I had been noticing it was taking a long time to start lately and told my husband I thought it could be the starter. So we had the car worked on and replaced a few things, fuel pump, filter and things of those nature since we thought the car wasn't getting any fuel. Come to find out the security had been triped so I towed the car to the nissan dealership and had everything reset. I attempted to start the car and thought I needed a boost but by the time the nissan guy got there with his handy dandy boosting thing I got it started. Later on it didn't start tried again and it did... Then finally it wouldn't start again before it was cranking but not turning over now it just "clicks" I know the starter is out. I feel the starter has been the issue the entire time but what I am curious about is this. If the starter is going out and i am steady trying to crank the car would that trip the security? I was back at Nissan today and the lady said she didn't think that would cause that, but it seems in my mind at least and i can totally be wrong but that that is a possibility. If I keep turning the key over and over the car says hold on somethings up? Any suggestions? Could it be something worse/more complex than just a bad starter causing the security to flip on? Thanks for any input!

I don't see anywhere that you had the battery tested. That would be your first step.

I know that my starter is gone though. The battery is fine the radio and other things come on no problem. I did eventually have to boost it when we had been working on it a few days and kept attempting to start it. After Nissan got it they never mentioned that batter being bad either.

IF they starter went out would could that cause the security to be flipped is all im really asking, if you attempted to start it several times.

My maxima's factory alarm keeps going off for no aparent reason. I have had my batterie checked. It's fine. I checked all my lights on the car and everything is working. I don't know what to try next. Hope anyone can help.

Hi Energizer17,

Did you check the hood switch? Unplug it to test if problem persists.

Does the door ajar indicator light flashes intermittently while driving?

Yes I checked the hood sensor and unpluged it bthe problem is still there. My door ajar light does not come on while driving at all. Is there a way to disconnect the alarm all together? Thanks for responding KHLow2008.

System is controlled by the Body control Module and our database does not have any information of bypassing the system.

I have sent you the system check file. Go through them and see if you can come up with anything.

Try getting a scan done to see fi you can retrieve any trouble codes.

1996 Nissan Maxima 6 cyl

I have changed the battery and i have an alarm condition where the horn is blowing and indicators are flashing, but the vehicle is not starting. Can you advise what i should do?

Every time the power is removed, the alarm is automatically set. With the battery plugged in, use the remote to turn off the alarm. Turn the alarm on, wait 45 second, and then turn it off.

Hi,
This is my first car. Its a nissan maxima 30G. When the fuel is low in my tank, the indicator lamp in the dashboard is not glowing or giving me any alarm. I need help to fix this?

Hi venu,

Either the bulb is fused, electrical to the sending unit is faulty or the sending unit is defective, provided you have not gone really low, whereby it would not work.

If you can get to the sending unit wire connectors at the fuel tank, use a wire to ground the circuit and if it works, you need to check/replace the sending unit.
