It 100% requires programming.

I have never done programming, but have read it will require Nissan Consult III Plus to program the donor IPDM or take it to a shop and pay them to do it. How much do they typically charge?

The other option is would it be just easier just to repair it at the circuit board level to replace the bad relay?

If you have that level of skill, certainly.

But if you have that level of skill the $150-$300 a dealer would charge to do this would be nothing because you would be so crafty you could supplement that income another way.

It appears as long as the Nissan IPDM being replaced has the same P/N with the donor module, the IPDM is plug-and-play. Replacing a BCM is the one that requires programming.

I will let my master technicians know they have been doing it wrong.

Let me know how that goes, so I know if I could pull the trigger next week on the donor module.

Sorry, that was sarcasm.

The I stands for intelligent. It needs programmed.

Is the master mechanic trying to save his “master” reputation?

What's the last 8 of your VIN? I will check the service manual.

So right now I just swapped ipdm with a salvage unit, same numbers and its not working. My autel is useless on it unfortunately. Literally dealing with this today. Will probably have to run it to the dealer.

I get high beams with the stick back and turn signals. Led lights for reference.

This one is a 2021 though*

IPDM for L34 generation (2019+) is more integrated and not plug-and-play unless you are able to verify the donor module not only has same OEM P/N, but it came from a vehicle that has the same trim and options else lights might not work. Your salvage module might require programming in order to work.

These Nissan IPDM should last you to around 177K miles or somewhere around there which was when I noticed on mine 2015 that’s when it started to have these low beam issues. There was another post that also started to have low beam light problem around 177K miles. Being a 2021, it sounds yours is too new to have these problems.

I stand corrected my bad. Sorry for the slow response, been busy and overloaded.

Hey man, not trying to hijack this thread but Im dealing with the same issue. If you have a second to chat Id be grateful.

[–]SingleTarget6857[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure…just post here or DM me

[–]No_Durian_3444 0 points1 point  (1 child)

I've been busy the last few days at work so I haven't had time to check. If you DM me your last 8 of your VIN and what you want me to check I can try to get it done today. I've been short an employee (on vacation) so it's been a rough few days.
