Nissan Repair: Locking system Nissan Primera 2004, key fobs, keyless entry system


Question
QUESTION: Locked car. Returned 2 hours later and wouldn't open. Changed battery twice in key "bleeper" and both keys and whole thing seems dead. No previous problems. As you will know there's no keyhole in doors. Grateful for any idea's.

ANSWER: Michael,

You could slimjim the door to gain access.  There should be a keyhole on the drivers door.  If not how about the trunk?  To reset the keyfobs use the following.

KEY FOB SETUP
1. Close all doors
2. Insert key into and remove it from ignition key cylinder more then six times within 10 seconds. (Hazard warning lamps will then flash twice.)
Note: Withdraw key completely from ignition key cylinder each time.
If Procedure is performed too fast, system will not enter registration mode.
3. Insert key into ignition key cylinder and turn to ACC position
4. Push any button on key fob once. (Hazard warning lamps will then flash twice.)
5. Do you want to enter any additional key fob id codes?  If No - Go to  step 9 , if Yes - Go on to next step (6)
Note: A maximum five ID codes can be entered. If more then five ID codes are entered, the oldest ID code will be erased.
6. Unlock the door, then lock again with lock/unlock switch driver side (in power window main switch).
Note: Operate this procedure even if the door is in an unlock state.
7. Push any button on key fob once. (Hazard warning lamp will then flash twice.)
At this time, The oldest ID code is erased and the new ID code is entered.
8. For additional key fobs do steps 6 thru 7.
9. Open driver side door. (END)
After entering ID code, check operation of remote keyless entry system.

If the aforementioned does not work the body control module is defective and will need to be replaced.

QUESTION: Thanks for above but the question was that car does not have any keyholes anywhere so how can I gain access. As I need the car today I will have call out main dealers to deal with problem. Thanks anyway. Seems a funny system with no keyholes though!

Answer
Michael,

Strange there are no keyholes?  I have not seen your model here in the states?  No other way to get in unless you jimmy the lock.  A thin strip of metal between the door glass and door and then you form a hook on the end to catch the inner workings of the latch.  Otherwise it looks like a locksmith.
