Is your key fob failing to unlock your 2012 Nissan Murano? Don’t worry, you might be able to reprogram it yourself! This guide provides simple steps to try and get your Nissan Murano key fob working again.
Many Nissan owners experience issues with their key fobs losing programming over time or after battery replacement. Before heading to a dealership and spending money on reprogramming services, attempt this DIY method at home. It’s a straightforward process that could save you time and frustration.
Here’s how to reprogram your 2012 Nissan Murano key fob:
-
Ensure all doors are closed and locked. Use the power lock/unlock button on the driver’s side door to lock all doors.
-
Ignition Key Cycling: Insert your key into the ignition and remove it rapidly six times within 10 seconds. Make sure to fully remove the key from the ignition cylinder each time. If done correctly, your hazard lights should flash, indicating the system has entered programming mode. Note: You might need to look closely for the hazard light flash, it can be subtle.
-
Enter ACC Position: Insert the key back into the ignition cylinder and turn it to the “ACC” (Accessory) position.
-
Press Remote Button: Within 5 seconds of turning the key to ACC, press any button on your key fob remote. If programming is successful, the hazard lights should flash again. You might also hear the door locks attempt to engage when pressing the lock button. Important: Press the button only once. Multiple presses can disrupt the programming sequence.
-
Programming Additional Fobs (Optional): If you have other key fobs to program (including existing fobs that might need reprogramming), unlock and then lock all doors using the driver’s side power lock/unlock switch. Within 5 seconds, press any button on the next remote. The hazard lights should flash to confirm programming. Repeat this step for each additional key fob.
This procedure should help you reprogram your 2012 Nissan Murano key fob. If you continue to experience issues after trying these steps multiple times, there might be a different problem with your key fob or vehicle’s receiver. In such cases, consulting a professional automotive locksmith or your Nissan dealer is recommended.
