Have a 1996 nissan terrano v6 petrol. The battery went flat and I recharged it. When I put the recharged battery back in the car sounds an alarm and wont start (immobiliser?). The alarm stays on for a short period then stops no dash lights or anything comes on at all. When I brought the car it did not come with an alarm button so had no idea it even had one until this happened. Any help anyone could offer would be greatly apprieciated. Cheers

I'm almost sure you need a new battery. Depending on how dead the battery was, the recharging process returns its normal life operation. From what you describe, the battery is not giving your car a normal voltage even after recharging

When the alarm sounds, turn the key to the RUN (NOT START) position, then OFF - do this 10 times rapidly.
Many alarms will turn off and allow the car to start with this method.

Testimonial: "Hi there tried you suggestion unfortunately it didnt work have since had an autoelectrition remove the immobiliser and alarm system entirely. The truck now starts no problem. Thanx for your help"

SOURCE: hi,immobiliser problem?battery went flat,,managed to

Hi it sounds like you have done everything you can do, it now looks like your going to need to get the immobilizer reset, this can be done at most garages but its best if you shop around to see the best price you can get as its not cheap.

have you tried locking the door with the key and then opening it with the key then try the car see if it will work.

failing that its going to need the imob re-programming so that it accepts your key fob, it may just be that you need the fob replacing as the chip inside could have failed they will be able to test all this for you.

let me know if you need further assistance, not that theirs much more i can do without being their with the equipment to test the immobilizer, hopefully it will just be the fob that needs replacing.

you could just try one last thing when you get in the car and put the key in the ignition try holding the fob as close as you can to the ignition barrel as this is where it picks the signal up from so try holding it close to their and see if that then lets you start the car

failing that its going to be a trip to the garage.

plz rate this solution as i have a whole page of unrated posts, thanks

SOURCE: 1996 Nissan Maxima - unlock

If the antitheft system is armed and isn't recognizing the key for starting, the dealer should be the next place it should be towed for reprogramming the key to the computer.

Nissan terrano pr50 4WD warning light starts flashing after about 80 km Auto trans 1995 year

Did this start happening, after tyres were rotated, or a new tyre was fitted? This will probably reset when the ignition is turned off and back on again, then start flashing after another 80km. This can be caused by the rolling diameter of the wheels being different, and the computer is picking up that a tyre is flat, or that the tyres are of different size designation or different levels of wear. This happened to me after rotating tyres, and would repeat every 40-50km, and went away, when i put the spare, back to being the spare.
