The 2017 Nissan Rogue offers convenience and advanced technology with its remote start, key fob, and smart key remote features. Whether you’re looking to understand how these features work, program a new key fob, or troubleshoot issues, this comprehensive guide will provide you with valuable information.
Understanding Your 2017 Nissan Rogue Keyless Entry System
Your 2017 Nissan Rogue is equipped with a keyless entry system that allows you to lock, unlock, and start your vehicle without inserting a physical key. This system uses radio frequency identification (RFID) technology to communicate between your key fob and the vehicle’s onboard computer.
Types of Keys
The 2017 Nissan Rogue typically comes with two types of keys:
- Smart Key Fob: This key fob allows you to unlock the doors and start the engine by simply having it in your possession. It features buttons for lock, unlock, remote start, and panic alarm.
- Mechanical Key: This key is hidden within the key fob and is used as a backup to unlock the driver’s side door in case the key fob battery dies or the keyless entry system malfunctions.

Programming a New 2017 Nissan Rogue Key Fob
If you need to program a new key fob for your 2017 Nissan Rogue, you can do so at home following these simple steps:
- Gather Your Materials: You will need all your existing working key fobs for this process.
- Enter Programming Mode: Sit in the driver’s seat and close all doors. Insert the key into the ignition and turn it from “OFF” to “ON” six times within 10 seconds, ending in the “ON” position.
- Hazard Lights Flash: If done correctly, the hazard lights will flash twice.
- Program Each Key Fob: Press any button on the first key fob you want to program. The hazard lights will flash once to confirm. Repeat this step for any other key fobs, including the new one.
- Exit Programming Mode: Turn the ignition to the “OFF” position. The hazard lights will flash twice to confirm you have exited programming mode.
Important Note: If the programming procedure fails, make sure all doors are closed, and try again.
When to Seek Professional Help
While programming a new key fob is generally straightforward, certain situations might require professional assistance:
- You’ve lost all your key fobs.
- You’re experiencing issues even after following the programming steps.
- You’re unsure about the procedure and would prefer expert help.
Troubleshooting Common 2017 Nissan Rogue Key Fob Issues
Here are some common issues you might encounter with your Nissan Rogue key fob and how to troubleshoot them:
Problem: Remote start not working.

- Out of Range: Ensure you’re within a reasonable range of your vehicle when attempting to start it remotely.
- System Malfunction: If the remote start feature still doesn’t work, there might be a problem with the system itself, requiring professional diagnosis.
Problem: Key fob not unlocking/locking doors.
Possible Solutions:
- Battery Replacement: A dying battery might not have enough power to send a strong signal. Replace the battery.
- Key Fob Synchronization: Try resynchronizing your key fob by following the programming procedure mentioned earlier.
