can anyone out here help me in finding the directions in programming extra keyless entry remotes for my 2001 nissan maxima? i know the dealer will do it but i want to know how to do it myself for future use.

 

The following is from a post made by Steve Cutchen, who maintains a Maxima FAQ site and has access to the service manual. I don't know if this info is there (it probably is), but I saved it as I was told that you need to do this when replacing batteries in the remote.

Replacing Remote Controller or Multi-Remote Control Unit (LCU05)

Enter the identity (ID) code manually when:

* remote controller or multi-remote control unit LCU05 is replaced.
* an additional remote controller is activated.

ID Code Entry Procedure

To enter the ID code, follow this procedure.

"Setting mode":

(1) Close and lock all doors.
(2) Insert and remove the key from the ignition more than six times within
10 seconds. (The hazard warning lamp will then flash twice.) At this time,
the original ID codes are eliminated.

ID code entry:

(3) Turn ignition key to "ACC" position.
(4) Push lock button on the new remote controller once (for example, if
door is locked using the remote controller during this ID code entry enable
state, a new ID code can be entered). At this time, the new ID code is
entered. (The hazard warning lamp will then flash twice.)

Additional ID code entry

(5) If you need to activate additional remote controllers, unlock the
driver's door, then lock again with door lock ****.
(6) Push lock button on the additional new remote controller once.
(7) This ID code entry enable state and setting mode remain until the
driver's door is opened.

NOTE

* If you need to activate more than two additional new remote controllers,
repeat the procedure "Additional ID code entry" for each new remote
controller.
* If the same ID code that exists in the memory is input, the hazard
warning lamps will flash twice but the entry will be ignored.
* Entry of maximum four ID codes is allowed and any attempt to enter more
will be ignored.
* Any ID codes entered after termination of the "setting mode" will not be
accepted. Additionally remote control signals will be inhibited when an ID
code has not been entered during the "setting" mode.
