1993 - 1995 Nissan Pathfinder Remote Programming Instructions

NOTE: The Nissan system can learn up to four different remotes. If a fifth remote is entered the first remote programmed is removed and only the last four to be entered are remembered. Anytime you add a remote, all remotes to be used should be reprogrammed to avoid unintentional removal.

  1. Locate the electronic module (located under the driver's seat on the right side).
  2. Under the center of the Nissan label on the top of the module there is a 7/8" hole. Use your fingers to feel for the hole through the label. Punch through the label with your finger or a dull object such as a pencil eraser. Inside the hole is a square yellow button. This is the Programming button.
  3. Cycle the ignition key to ON then back to OFF. Press and hold the Programming button. The siren will emit four single introduction tones followed by a five tone burst. Release the Programming button. The siren will now emit single prompting tones at one second intervals. Each prompting tone is an opportunity to program a remote. After any prompting tone press the large (arm/disarm) button of the remote. The siren will immediately emit a confirmation tone. Wait for another prompting tone and press the large button of another remote. Repeat until all remotes to be used with the vehicle have been learned.
  4. Turn the ignition key ON the OFF to exit Programming mode.
  5. Test remotes and cover holes on top of the electronic module with tape.
