SERVICE INFORMATION

If a remote switch assembly (remote controller) for an Applied Nissan vehicle does not operate or operates intermittently, it may need to be re-programmed.

Use the following procedure to program the remote controller.

NOTE:
Not all trim level variations of a given vehicle include the remote controller function. Review the vehicle sales brochure to determine if the vehicle trim level is equipped with the remote controller function before starting the programming procedure.

Also confirm that the remote controller(s) being programmed is the correct remote controller for the vehicle.

NOTE:
A. 1998-99 Altima, Maxima, Pathfinder, Sentra, and Frontier Models, 1999 Quest, and 2000 Frontier Models built before VIN 343314:

If the vehicle has more than one remote controller, the remote controllers must all be programmed at the same time (a maximum of 4 remotes can be programmed).

B. All 2000 Altima, Maxima, Pathfinder, Sentra, Quest, Xterra, Frontier Crew Cab and Desert Runner Models, and Frontier Models built after VIN 343314:

If the vehicle has more than one remote controller, the oldest ID code is erased when programming a new remote when there are already 4 ID codes in memory.

If there are less than 4 ID codes stored in memory, then the new ID code is added and no ID codes are erased, unless a new remote is programmed after filling all 4 memory positions. A maximum of 4 remotes can be programmed.

NOTE:
Regarding 2000 Maxima, Pathfinder, and Sentra vehicles:

You may use CONSULT-II to program remotes for these vehicles. Refer to the appropriate Electronic Service Manual (ESM) for further information. You may also program these vehicle remotes using the Service Procedure provided below.
