How to fix code p1610 a Nissan Note

-

 P1610 on a Nissan/Infiniti NATS Lock Mode.

Your Nissan Anti-Theft System locked out the engine because it thinks someone’s using a wrong/unregistered key. The car cranks but won’t start, and the security light stays on solid.

This is common on Patrol, Altima, Maxima, 350Z, etc. from mid-2000s onward.

Why it happens

1. Tried starting 5+ times with an unprogrammed or damaged key

2. Weak/dying key battery or damaged chip

3. Bad NATS antenna around the ignition barrel

4. Low car battery during start

5. BCM/IMMU/ECM communication fault

How to get it out of lock mode - try in this order:



1. Escape procedure with a good key - no tools needed

1. Turn ignition OFF

2. Insert a known working registered key

3. Turn to ON for 5 seconds, don’t start

4. Turn OFF, remove key

5. Repeat 2 more times - 3 cycles total

6. Try starting on the 4th turn

If it starts once then locks again, your key isn’t fully registered.

2. Battery reset

1. Disconnect negative battery terminal for 30-60 min

2. Reconnect

3. Try the escape procedure above with your spare key

This clears the lock timer. Lock mode stays for ∼1 hour after 5 bad attempts.

3. Check the key

- Try your spare key if you have one

- Look for cracks on the key. If the chip fell out, it won’t work

- If you only have uncut/unprogrammed keys, that’s why it’s locked

4. If it still won’t start, you need key reprogramming

You’ll need a scan tool that does Nissan NATS like Autel, Launch X431, or Nissan Consult.

- A locksmith or dealer can re-register the keys and reset the BCM/IMMU

- Cost is usually $75-$150 for reprogramming 8718

5. Check NATS antenna and wiring

The ring around your ignition reads the key chip. If it’s unplugged or dead, you’ll get P1610.

- Check fuse for NATS antenna amp

- Look for loose connector at the ignition barrel

- Test for 12V at pin 8 of the IMMU connector with key ON 9cdb

Important

Don’t keep cranking with a bad key. After 5 tries it locks again and you’re back to step 1.

This page will help you with the full manual of Nissan Juke 2012. The Nissan Juke is a “mini” SUV that can be conservatively described as bold, unconventional styling with a sporty side. It made its US debut in 2010, and was produced through 2017. The feature that makes the Juke instantly recognizable is it placement of front end lights.  The turn signal and parking lights are mounted on top of the fenders, and the headlights appear sunk into the top of the front bumper. The fog lights are mounted traditionally low in the corners. Although the Juke is small, it still fits 5, though children will fit better in back than adults. There are 3 trim levels. The base S model is available only with a CVT transmission. The next level up SV offers a choice of 6 speed manual or CVT. The top of the line SL adds leather seats and a few additional luxury touches but is CVT only. AWD is optional on all 3 versions but only with the CVT. The Juke’s sole power plant is a 1.6L 4 cylinder that pu...

Nissan Note/Versa 2006/7 full Manual

  The Nissan Versa is a benchmark for value priced subcompact cars. Introduced in 2006, the sedan version is the roomiest car in its class, gets up to 40 mpg, and was the least expensive new car you could buy in the US.  Of course a slew of luxury options are available at additional cost. The Versa is available as either a hatchback or sedan. The base model has a manual transmission, thought the optional CVT gets slightly better gas mileage. Power comes from a 1.6L 4 cyl motor.  Now on its third generation, the Versa reminas Nissan’s entry-level car, slotted beneath the Sentra. Click here for Manual packages.
