Solution for Autel IM608 Unable to Read PIN Code on 2025 Nissan Sentra HFM
Issue:
Attempted to read the PIN code from a 2025 Nissan Sentra HFM module (equipped with a 10193 CPU) using the Autel IM608 and APB131 adapter. Although the data was read correctly multiple times, the PIN code could not be extracted.




Recommended Solutions:
To successfully read the PIN code from the HFM dump, follow these steps:
1. Ensure a stable internet connection – a poor network can disrupt the decryption process.
2. Update the Autel Nissan software to the latest version – newer ECUs may require updated software support.
3. Verify wiring and connections – double-check against the correct wiring diagram to ensure everything is properly connected.
4. Reset the device setup:
Delete all saved files.
Restart the IM608.
Connect a 12V power adapter to the XP400 Pro.
Try reading again. Multiple attempts may be needed.
Alternative Option:
If the issue persists after following all the above steps, use a J2534 interface with Nissan Consult for online programming. The process typically takes about 3 minutes.
User Feedback:
The issue was resolved after updating the Autel software. Once updated, the PIN code was read successfully, and the key programming was completed without further problems.
