SOLVED - Nissan Warning Key ID Incorrect
ฝัง

- Have you had the Key ID Error appear on your Nissan dashboard?
When you do, you then know you have to hold the key fob up to the start stop button to register before your vehicle will start.
It's most likely the battery needs replaced. If you change the battery and it solves the error, nice one. However, if it hasn't, the terminals on the circuit board that touch the battery have probably been pushed flat when pressing the key fob.
It's a simple fix, but please be gentle when splitting/ cracking, open the fob, don't push the screwdriver tip in to far. Slow and steady wins the race.
Additionally, If you have just replaced the battey a few months back, but are now starting to get the key id error, This is probably from pressing the fob a little too hard, they are very flimsy little fekers.
So, open the fob, spin the battery around slightly, gently lift up the connectors so they get better contact with the battery.
Hope this helps.
I’m out of town for work, working two jobs to make ends meets, down to just this vehicle. Wife stuck at hone with the baby. And I got that error code and couldn’t get the car to start. Bank acct empty to pay for an Uber and in sheer panic. Took a second to breath. Went on here and found your video. And the car started. Oh my did you just save my day !!
I'm having this issue right now
💯
If youre not in a positon to fix it like this. Pressing the FOB to the start ignition generally works.
Every time this happens to me (and before I changed the battery it was every time I got in the car), I would hit any button on the fob and then immediately press the ignition button and it always would start.
Done..and DONE. 5 YEARS, TWO AUTO PARTS STORES, 3 DEALERSHIPS AND 3 MECHANICS LATER...to be FINALLY saved by a TH-cam video. YOU SIR. DESERVE A BEER ! ID BUY YOU A GUINESS IF YOU WERE NEAR ME! SLAINTE' !
This happened to my rental just now, and it’s been a very stressful month. Your video greatly helped and I appreciate you very much, Sir!
Thank you! This has been driving me crazy. Changed tbe battery and it fixed the problem for a few weeks but now getting the occasional "incorrect key ID" again. You no doubt saved me $200 or more at Nissan!
ANOTHER FIX -> Just to add if this doesn't solve your issue, what worked for me was sliding a couple of layers of thin cardboard (e.g from a cereal packet) under where the battery sits. Cut the cardboard so it's roughly the shape of the battery. This was enough for the battery to then remain in contact with the terminals.
This solved the issue where the fob would unlock the car but kept stating 'key ID incorrect', even though I had changed the battery.
Hope this helps someone :)
Yup... This worked for me 🙏💪💯
@@neila8851 Thanks for letting me know, glad my comment helped someone :) my Nissan Qashqai is still rocking the cardboard key fob fix 😀
What an absolutely heroic fuc**ng video this is! This has been doing my head in for months and has been solved in two minutes flat! Thanks so much 🙌
This helped!! I was in the parking lot of a mall and this issue happened and I couldn’t get it to work. So I looked this video up and so thankful. Thank you for sharing.
This has to be one of the most accurate fixes ive done on my car. Thank you!!!
Thank you
It worked!!! Single mother who would have had the dealers charge me for the simple fix while telling me I needed a new fob. Thank you!!!
Same here. I hope it worked for me too.
Mine was working on and off, the only way to get around it was to press the alarm button. After that, just break pedal and start button as usual. (You may try that if stranded again)
Let’s see if we can skip the dealer this time :-D
Dealers are useless. I found two solutions for Nissan online so far.
Omg thank you so much. I was already freaking out that I had to go to the dealer!
Good Video. Tried this. The "contacts" / "pins" were already quite a bit raised. They seemed to be at an angle of 60 degrees. Still as recommended I raised them a little bit with my screw driver and it worked. However after 3/4 days again I have an issue where sometimes the key works and sometimes it does not. I notice that when I move the key and swing my entire arm, it works.... somehow the shaking motion, seems to send the wifi signal to the car.... Did anyone experience this ? Ofcourse can't do this inside the car !! Sometimes while driving I still get "Key id incorrect" sudenly. My battery was changed in Sep 2021.
Anyway, i like the thought process and analysis presented in the video. Its quite logical.
Lifesaver. Bought a new battery just in case. Thank you!
This makes sense! Everytime I get wrong Id i shake the key fob until it works! I'm try this I'm sure it will help!
I can't believe this worked that easy. Thank you!
Just had this issue come up, and it fixed it. Thank you!
Thank you so much, this worked for my son! Appreciate you posting !
Dude you literally saved me hundreds! Thank you! I couldn’t find anything that would work but this did PErfectly
To all nissan owners out there save some money and listen up
1)check ur key battery first if low replace key battery ($6) clean the inside if necessary.
2)check ur car battery and connections if low replace car battery ($50-$150).
3)if steps 1 and 2 fail chk for smart key reception antenna in my 17 sentra is located in the back of the trunk between the speakers chk if it is properly connected (mine was broken because i pushed a huge luggage far back inside the truck ,safe some money.
Yep, if the car battery is dead it will say that too.
Thanks
Thank you. With all the money we pay and with all the bells and whistles and the "INFO"tainment system, these vehicles still can't tell us if a light is out, and why the key ID is invalid.
Not all heroes wear capes, god bless you soo much. This eorked for me and i had tried soo many other things and i was CRYING because it just kept happening. I tried this just to say i tried everything not expecting anything and it WORKED. Thank you.xoxo love from Texas.
We have been battling our two key fobs for the longest time. The only way that we would get them to work would be to press really hard on the open button. The fobs wouldn’t even work to open the doors. Now they both work perfectly. Thanks!!!!
So glad I watched this video!! Thank you!
Thanks man!!!! Life saver!! This is what you tube was meant to be!!!!
Amazing. This worked. Thank you for the video!
This is an immediate short term fix. This solved the problem immediately but only lasted for 2 days. Kept getting the message again and now I have to repeat the process. Couldn’t be bothered to repeat after a point. Anyone else experienced the same?
likely has to do with how hard you’re pressing on the fob. use less pressure because as he says, the keys are flimsy.
You’re a genius!!!! It worked! Thank you for saving me so much grief!!!!
I didn’t believe this when you do it but I did it and sort my problem out cheers mate
Just encountered this problem. Going to try this advice. Thanks.
Thanks! Was on the road when this happened, decided to just squeeze the fob and it worked.
Tried two new batteries before finding this video. This totally worked and I guess all three batteries were still good :-)
Thank you very much for this video, it really helped me.
Thanks for the video. I had the same issue with incorrect ID. Turns out I needed a jump start.
Holy shit! I've been trying to fix this for years, it worked! Thank you!
Thanks for quick tip. Having the same trouble. Will check that now. No, my 2015 Nissan Sentra doesn't have it. But, if one rents your type car it is good to know. Thanks for your video tip.
Here is more good solid advice, I had 2 fobs from a 2017 Altima, neither worked as remotes and had key id errors, but would start the car if I pushed to the start button. I actually put a external power supply on the contacts and they both worked, so it had to be the contacts or the batteries, they both were making good contact so I found a Panasonic 2032 and it worked right away, don't use cheap Chinese 2032 batteries, I measured 3.2vdc on fresh Chinese batteries and the fob was unresponsive, spend a few more dollars and get Energizer or Panasonic, be wary of Amazon cells.
Legend, worked a treat. Thank you muchly.
Worked! Thank you and God bless you!
Wow. Thank you sir. I am pass battery change stage but I thought there would be much harder way of sorting it. The most annoying bit was after battery change to be able to open door remotely from 100 metres yet car being unaware of fob presence but now it make sense. I will try to do it in 4 days when back from work as it does really annoy me on each time now as I am entering the car. I was normally just pressing door open or close switch till message dissappear but never thought that solution might be so obvious. I guess that when I changed the battery it pressed pins further down even more. I will give an update of how it went.
Thank you so much. I was about to spend 100 dollars on a new key from the dealership. This video work for me
I tried everything, but this worked! Thank you!
@Drick Yes I had tried everything I knew to do up to seeing this. And I think you mistakenly put a r in your name.
@Drick I will try to remember that next time when thanking someone for thier help. Have a great day! ☺️
This worked that easy. Thank you!
Worked as charm! Thank you!
Literally saved me on the road, thanks!
Great video, worked on our rogue
this actually worked! thank you!!
You’re a life saver!
Just now worked for me, thank you!
I just tried this and it worked. Thank you so much.
I just try it it’s not working for my Nissan 2018
Saved me Hella money … wow! I feel like it’s purposely designed to wear out over time
You literally just saved me lol I was ready to pull my horn fuse😂Thanks for the video
Was this causing your alarm to go off randomly? I've been having this issue, alarm goes off every 2 minutes randomly. First time was about 3 months ago, and today was the 5th time it happened
@@chawklit_sawce Nah I’ve only experienced this turning on my car after it sit a few months, but if your car alarm is going off it could be from the battery in the fob shorting out messing wit the receiver in the car like in the video
what battery do i need for the nissan qashqai key fob? please
thank you good sir! car started right up
Thanks so much! Fixed it immediately!
Thank you!!! Worked like a charm. ☺☺☺
Thanks a lot. It worked for me. I have an X-Trail '17
THANK YOU FOR THIS!
Thank you a lot!! It helped me 🙏🤩
Worked for me thank you very much
Thank you. Fixed my pos rental car in about 5min
THANK YOU, YOU ARE A LIFE SAVER!!!
Your awesome sauce 🤩this worked!!!!!
Thank you! I have a newer model remote but this still saved me from being stranded at work. Didn’t make the expensive cab ride or trip to the stealerships. God bless you 🫡🫡
It worked. Thank you!
OMG a freaking lifesaver!!!
For a whole 18 months I have been going by with this error. The Nissan service claimed they knew the problem was the electronic brain and the quote was 1700 Euro!
That worked well for me. Thanks
How to program a new key for a Nissan pathfinder
So you're saying the message isn't caused by the vehicles computer, but the battery contacts. I think for me, it was caused by the car sitting in storage not started for months at a time. I believe the link between the fob and the car was lost and that it has to be reprogrammed. Batteries in the main fob and the spare were both changed.
Did you ever find a fix I’ve tried multiple “fixes” from TH-cam with no luck. Looks like going to have to get a locksmith to reprogram the key
@@alexquezada510 It turns out the Nissan hadn't lost its keyfob programming. I just removed the battery from the keyfob and replaced it with a new one. I replaced the battery in both keyfobs. I guess I was lucky.
@@rkgsd oh well guess gotta spend a few bucks
You are a godsend... thank you sir
It worked!! Thanks heaps!
Worked !! Thank u so much
Yay! This worked! Thank you!
Do I have to pull the terminals all the way up or just in an angle
I’m thinking the same thing! He didn’t show HOW to pull them up. 😩😩
The most important part of the video was not working. I have the exact same problem with my car. How to fix it?

You are a life saver. BZ

if this doesnt fix your issue unplug the positive cable of the car battery for a minute then plug it back in this should fix that error
I tried this. Sadly, it didn't work for me 😢
Common problem with fobs.
Thanks.....fifth video watched then bam
I’m too scared to try it. Don’t want to get electrocuted or have the whole car blow up from a jumping spak
Didn't work for me :(
