A car symbol with a key in the centre keeps flashing on the dash when the engine is turned off on my nissan rogue 2014

This light usually refers to the vehicle's Immobiliser System. Has this light just started to come on recently? Some Nissan models normally have this light flash when you walk away from the vehicle to show that the Immobiliser is active and working correctly while you are away from the vehicle.
If this light stays on when you try to start the vehicle it usually means the security system (the immobiliser) isn't recognising the key you are using. Are you having problems starting the vehicle?
If this is something it has just started doing try this simple fix first. Change the battery in the key fob for a good quality new one. An old battery can sometimes give a weak signal which the security system cannot read correctly and assumes it's an attempt to steal the vehicle.
Is the vehicle's battery in good condition and fully charged? Have you disconnected the battery recently? Some immobiliser systems need to be reset if the battery is removed for long periods.

2007 Hyundai Santa Fe.Fob didn't work. Got locksmith to open. Car won't start. Got new battery. Won't start alarm kept beeping fob wouldn't turn it off. Won't start. disconnected battery. ??

Fob didn't work so the alarm immobiliser was armed and active when the locksmith opened the car - with predictable results.

Fob still not working - broken or needs new battery. Have you fitted a new battery into the fob?

The alarm immobiliser will probably remain armed until the doors have been locked and then unlocked with the fob.

There is a small chance the system can be fooled into thinking it has been disarmed by disconnecting the battery (overnight if poss) and then with the door open and the ignition key in and turned on, when the battery is reconnected it might be possible to start the engine...

My second hand 2004 Mitsubishi Outlander immobiliser fob has stopped working and i can no longer start my engine. I only have one immobiliser fob and one non-remote/buttonless engine key.

The immobiliser works with a chip in the fob. This is a signalling device which, via a pick-up situated around the ignition lock, sends the signal to the engine computor which the allows the engine to be started.

How can you bypass an antitheft system on a 2002 tdi jetta?

If it is not a new key fob, it sounds to me like the immobilizer is activated. So, all the lights on the dash are working now? Is there a flashing key on the dash lights? One of the resets that works is put the key fob in, and turn ignition on without starting it, and leave it 15 minutes. And try again.

Peugeot 307 hdi 2002 5 door will not start

Check the fob battery because if the battery has gone then you can't immobilise the car immobiliser which in turn doesn't let you start the engine however it cranking. open the bonnet and remove the clips of car battery for a good 15-20 minutes and put them back and check your remote key and try to start your car. If nothing happens then let your car diagnosed by a experienced mechanic who is able to read out the ecu codes.
