Nissan Rogue · 2008–2013
A documented no-start condition on push-button-start Rogues can occur when the electronic steering column lock (ESCL/steering lock unit) fails and the vehicle will not transition to READY/ON normally. Owners report the key fob is recognized but the ignition stays stuck, often with a steering lock warning or inability to turn the vehicle on. Nissan issued service information and extended coverage on related steering lock failures across Nissan platforms, and owner complaints/forum reports include Rogue vehicles in this generation.
Common Symptoms
- Vehicle will not start with push button
- Key fob recognized but ignition does not turn on normally
- Steering lock warning or security indicator illuminated
- Intermittent no-start that becomes permanent
- Need to repeatedly press start button before vehicle responds
How to Fix
Diagnosis typically includes confirming battery condition, checking Intelligent Key operation, and scanning BCM/IPDM/steering lock related data for lock status. Repair usually involves replacing the steering lock assembly and performing initialization/reprogramming as required; in some cases the lock is bypassed or a fuse workaround is discussed by owners, but proper repair is replacement and registration of the unit.
Owner tips & cautions
- TipOwners commonly recommend scanning BCM data with a Nissan-capable scan tool to confirm steering lock status before replacing parts.

Frequently asked questions
What does B2192 mean?
B2192 stands for "BCM/ECM ID Verification Failure (immobilizer, manufacturer-specific)." B2192 is a manufacturer-specific body code; on Nissan/Infiniti it indicates a failed ID verification between the Body Control Module (BCM) and the Engine Control Module (ECM), part of the immobilizer/anti-theft (NATS) system. When the two modules cannot confirm each other's identity, the system blocks normal starting and may put the vehicle into fail-safe mode with the security light on. It commonly causes a no-start or stall condition. Exact meaning can differ on other makes, so confirm against the specific vehicle.

The most common causes of B2192 are: Immobilizer ID mismatch between BCM and ECM (needs reregistration), Replaced BCM, ECM, or key not properly programmed, Wiring or communication fault between BCM and ECM, Weak or discharged vehicle battery / low voltage, Faulty BCM or ECM, Software or configuration error after module work.
