    Nissan Tiida 2008: Battery stopping it from starting

    Nissan Nissan Advice Nissan TIIda Nissan TIIda Advice Nissan TIIda 2008

    Every now and then my 2008 Nissan Tiida has starting problems; it will crank but won't actually start. My Nissan dealer said that it is the calcium battery that they say tells the starter motor not to start the car if the volts are below a certain level. They recharged the battery using a surge charger, but there are times when it still won't start. Is it the battery or is the immobiliser just not disengaging when I turn the key? Would a new battery fix the problem?

    If the battery is done a little the starter can take up what power it has and the voltage can drop below that needed for the rest of the system to function, so it might crank and not start. The calcium battery is not standard in the Tiida; it has a lead-acid battery standard, which means your battery has been replaced before. Can you swap a battery out of another car for a week or two and see if the problem persists. If it does you know its the battery, if it doesn’t then you can look elsewhere, and perhaps look at the immobiliser.
