alright guys heres the lowdown, swapped a built 06 motor/ecu/wiring harness into the car (which is an 03), trailored it to nissan of glendale heights to reprogram my 03 keys to my new 06 ecu, before i was supposed to drop it off at sound performance for my tune. anyways, the techs were having troubles with the ecu not reading the keys, and it shot up these 2 codes on there consult;

p1611 ID discord

p1610 lock mode


they said the ecu wasnt reading and couldnt unlock it. mind that no aftermarket ems was attached at all during this time, key simply wasnt reading. is there any way to gt past this? please guys i need help so i can get this tune done, havent driven it in a year and a half lol!!

 

just pulled this from yahoo;

Some computerized lock-smiths can do it. I work for Nissan and hook up a Consult 2 Device and get a pin read or the 5 digit number from the BCM and enter that number into the Asist Computer to generate a code. Then Gather up all the owners keys and start introducing the keys to the car up to five can be programed. If a non regristered key is used four times the car will lock out all the keys. Imobilizer Keys (chip keys) should be programed at the Nissan Dealership or advanced lock-smith. No "do it yourself" DIY available



so my question is how can i unlock the ecu now? i did put my key in multiple times to unlock the steering so i could move it aruond easily, mustve been the reason it locked. anyway to undo this guys?

 

Take it to the dealer its your only choice.

 

it was initially at the dealer, and they couldnt unlock it, they were using the consult, and he gave me those 2 codes listed in post #1. either he was very very inexperienced, or what, they couldnt get it. i need some info please, this is the only thing prohibiting me from driving the car!

 

I say try another stealership or a new ECU....

 

any other ideas? this ecu is new, cant be that, its gota be something a tech can take care of.

not sure if the tech that worked on mine was inexperienced or not, but he couldnt unlock the codes

 

I think sound performance are cipher tuner, i'm sure they can do something with that. I honestly wouldn't take it to dealer, even it cost little more for tailer to performance shop that knows VQ. Well.. good luck.

 

sound has no oem ecu reflashing software, the closest is grd which i need to reflash anyways to bump idle, but idk if they can ubnlock the actual ecu to accept keys

 

The tech that worked on your car was a retard. You might have to buy a new key if you do its about 150$. A performance shop is not going to have consult 2 software.

 

It must be in the FSM for the 2006. I would recommend starting there. Then just take the procedure to the tech and tell them to follow it.

 

yea i think he didnt know what he was doing, but thanks for the info guys, keep it coming please!

more info on buying new key please? wouldnt it be the same as the ecu is already locked and doesnt recognize it?

 

So what's the word on the ECU? Did Sound get it going or know anyone to help out?

 

I'd give GRD a call. See if they can get us the info on it with Cipher. We may be able to fix it through them.
