Help with car won’t start

[lewisryan]

Hi my Nissan terrano will not start tonight
it was fine this morning but now all it does is crank over the nats light flashing 6 times then on all the time with key in the on position may be problem with the nats system and help would be good or even better I’m in Blackpool if anyone is close that could sort it for me thanks Ryan

Yes it is a NATs problem, if you have more than one key the try another but I fear if you have tried to start it more than 3 times with a bad key then it will have to be sorted by a car locksmith with the correct equipment, Rick

Is this coupled with the engine MIL light or not as this is crucial for the diagnostic procedure?

Hi the MIL light is on but not flashing with key in the on position
when i try and start car MIL goes off and it just turns over but does not fire up
would auto lock smith be able to solve this ? if they can recode key and put new chip in it can they
get into the NATS system on car also . i have key code in my paperwork for car if that would help

Thanks for the info

Sorry mate not had chance to look in the forum all weekend as I've been busy as!!!!

It might not even be a case of any recoding needs doing, you haven't been messing with your stereo recently have you? The majority of people that end up with NATS issues on the Terrano have induced the fault themselves by switching their stereo out.

The next biggest culprit seems to be the connection to the IMMU ring that is a collar that sits around the ignition barrel and reads the signal from your paired transponder in your key. Give that a look by removing the cowling around the steering wheel and unplugging and reconnecting the connector and checking snagged wires etc as you go.

Have you made any progress solo over the weekend bud?

Could the AA breakdown plug into the plug and read any codes ?

I doubt you will need a new key mate and there's deffo a lot more you can check yourself that might save you wasting £270 straight off the bat.

You can actually read the codes yourself mate and you only need a paperclip

On your 3.0 there will be a 16 pin OBD plug underneath the fusebox cover in the drivers fototwell, if you bridge the top left with the bottom right and turn the ignition on then you'll induce the engine light. Long flashes are worth 10 and short flashes are worth one...... so 2 long flashes and 4 short would be 24, you can then cross reference these with the table on the last page of the linked document here;
