Latio immobilizer issue

I've got a 2009 Nissan Latio with a gasoline engine and I'm having immobilizer problems. The car just passed 197222 km. Sometimes the engine won't start at all. Other times, it starts briefly and then dies immediately. I scanned it and there's an error stored related to the anti-theft system, so I'm guessing it's the immobilizer. I've tried the spare key too, with the same result. Has anyone experienced anything similar?

A 2009 Nissan Latio owner experienced immobilizer issues, where the engine either wouldn't start or would start briefly and then die. The problem was linked to an error in the anti-theft system, likely due to the key's chip not being recognized. The solution involved reprogramming the original Nissan keys at a workshop, which resolved the issue.

Did this summary help you solve your problem?

I had a similar issue with my Latio. If the key's programming is incorrect, it can cause the engine to start and then stall, almost like it's being remotely shut off by an anti-theft system. Is your key aftermarket, or an original Nissan key?

That's interesting. Both are original Nissan keys. Do you mean like, the chip inside the key isn't being recognized anymore? Is there a way to fix it myself or do I have to take it to a shop?

Yes, exactly, the chip. Think of it like a digital handshake that isn't happening correctly. Unfortunately, re-programming the key usually requires specialized diagnostic equipment that most DIYers don't have. You'll probably need to visit a workshop to have them reprogrammed.

Thanks, that's what I suspected. I went to a local workshop, and you were spot on! The key needed re-programming. Cost me 45€, but the car is running perfectly again.
