OK after reading most of the thread, what is sent to the ECM to tell the car to start? If it is just a switch on the lock, remove the lock and hotwire the switch, now you don't have to deal with it. If the ECM is looking at the motor for movement, that will be harder to fool the system, but could still be done. Point is to build a bypass and never give Nissan the $500 for something that should be a recall. I know we must have some EE's on this site.

Another idea would be to run 24V to it before your warranty goes out and get it replaced?
