Is there a Nissan Almera specialist who can advise and possibly fix my problem? I have tried Nissan forums but they seem to be dead!
My daughter has a 2003 Nissan Almera 1.5S petrol RHD. It stalled and will not start. It turns over as usual. When the ignition is turned on the immobiliser lamp blinks 6 times and the stays lit. It doesn’t go off after 15 mins so not a fault in the dongle.
Clues:
1
Immobiliser lamp lit
2
The radiator cooling fans come on when the lamp is lit.
3
I cannot read any errors because my EasyOBD II reader says
Vehicle Data Bus OK
No Vehicle Response/Connection or Power
If there are any faults they cannot be read because the K-line is held low. With the ignition on, between pin7 (K-line) and pin 5 (signal ground) on the diagnostic socket I have 2.7V not 12V
I thought that perhaps the immobiliser may have been damaged and a firm said to send it to them for repair. I have it off the car. Before posting it off I thought I would run EasyOBD again. It still flashes 6 times and then stays on, and the fans still run until I disconnect the cables. I checked the voltage between the K-line and the ground when the fan cables are disconnected and it was the same, 2.7V not 12V. Perhaps it isn’t the immobiliser or maybe the feed to it is down. No change to 1 or 3 if either or both the cooling fan fuses are removed, or if the cooling fan relay is removed, or the coolant sensor disconnected.
The central locking works fine so I presume the key is OK.
Why would the fans run?
Someone suggested reprogramming my only key, but it didn’t work for me.
