Refurbished OEM Key – What Does It Mean?

A Refurbished OEM key is a used original key that has been remanufactured and reset for reuse. These keys retain their genuine OEM electronics, are unlocked, and are ready for programming to your vehicle.

🔧 Key Features:

• Original OEM internal electronics

• Fully tested and reset for reuse

• May include a new aftermarket case/shell (with or without logo) if the original did not meet quality standards

• Comes with a new uncut aftermarket key blade if required

⚠️ Programming Caution – Nissan Rogue 2014–2018

Nissan requires specific module configuration steps BEFORE pairing the BCM and Intelligent Key. Failure to follow these steps may cause BCM damage or loss of functionality, which may require dealer-level intervention.

There have been official Nissan service campaigns, recalls, and technical bulletins related to electrical harnesses, ECM/BCM software, configuration, and BCM replacement procedures on 2014–2018 Nissan Rogue models. Before attempting to program or reuse a refurbished OEM key, always check the customer’s VIN for open recalls and review the vehicle’s service history for BCM-related repairs or reprogramming.

What the official documents show

• Harness / connector campaign (R21B9): Inspection/replacement of the Main Harness M74 to Body Harness B42 connector on 2014–2016 Rogues if corrosion is present (can cause BCM issues).

• ECM reprogram campaigns (PC633 / P8325): ECM/BCM software reprogramming for 2014–2017 Rogues in certain regions (e.g., Arizona/Nevada & Canada).

• BCM pairing bulletin: Nissan requires that module configuration be performed before pairing the BCM and Intelligent Key to prevent BCM damage.

• Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs): Provide instructions for diagnosing symptoms, performing BCM replacement, or applying reprogramming fixes.

Practical guidance for sellers / technicians

• Do not attempt to program a key blindly. Always:

  1. Check the VIN for open recalls or campaigns.

  2. Confirm whether the BCM has been replaced or reprogrammed.

• Vehicles with prior BCM/harness corrosion or replacement carry a higher risk of a “bricked” BCM, misconfiguration, or the need for dealer-level tools to complete programming.

• Community reports describe push-to-start systems becoming inoperable when BCM/ECM issues are present.

Recommendations

• Refurbished OEM keys are sold as “electronics unlocked and ready for programming.” This does not guarantee the customer’s BCM or harness is functional.

• If the vehicle shows prior BCM replacement, corrosion issues, or intermittent electrical faults, refer to a dealer or locksmith equipped with Nissan CONSULT-III Plus or equivalent professional tools.

• We recommend programming only after confirming VIN recall status and BCM integrity.

Technician checklist

• Run a VIN & recall check (Nissan USA or NHTSA).

• Inspect harness connectors (M74/B42) for corrosion before programming.

• Review service history for ECM/BCM reprogramming (campaigns PC633 / P8325).

• Follow Nissan bulletin steps exactly: configure the module before pairing the BCM and Intelligent Key.

• If BCM is non-responsive, escalate to dealer diagnostics or replacement as per Nissan TSBs.

Caution — 2014–2018 Nissan Rogue:
Some Rogue models have had BCM/harness issues and Nissan service campaigns. Always check VIN and service history before programming. We recommend dealer or qualified locksmith programming where BCM replacement or reconfiguration is suspected.
