RESULTS ``LOCK MODE'' is dis-
played on CONSULT screen.
1. Turn the ignition switch to OFF posi-
tion.
2. Turn the ignition key switch to ON posi-
tion with a registered key.
(Do not start engine.) Wait for 5 sec-
onds.
3. Return the key to the OFF position.
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 twice (total of
three cycles).
5. Start the engine.
Can the engine start?
No
cYe s
System is OK.
(Now the system is
escaped from ``LOCK
MODE''.)
CHECK NATS IMMU INSTALLATION.
Refer to ``How to Replace NATS IMMU'' in
EL-253.

Reinstall NATS IMMU cor-
rectly.
PERFORM INITIALISATION.
Perform initialisation with CONSULT.
For the initialisation procedure, refer to
``CONSULT operation manual NATS V2.0
(GASOLINE)''.
Can the system be initialized?
Note: If the initialisation is incompleted or
failed, CONSULT shows
mes-
sage on the screen.
No

System Description
NATS has the following immobiliser functions:
+Since only NATS ignition keys, whose ID nos. have been registered into the ECM and IMMU of NATS,
allow the engine to run, operation of a stolen vehicle without a NATS registered key is prevented by NATS.
That is to say, NATS will immobilize the engine if someone tries to start it without the registered key of
NATS.
+Both of the originally supplied ignition key IDs have been NATS registered.
If requested by the vehicle owner, a maximum of four key IDs can be registered into the NATS compo-
nents.
+The NATS security indicator (NATS security ind.) blinks when the ignition switch is in ``OFF'' or ``ACC''
position. Therefore, NATS warns outsiders that the vehicle is equipped with the anti-theft system.
+When NATS detects trouble, the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) blinks.
+NATS trouble diagnoses, system initialisation and additional registration of other NATS ignition key IDs
must be carried out using CONSULT hardware and CONSULT NATS software.
When NATS initialisation has been completed, the ID of the inserted ignition key is automatically NATS
registered. Then, if necessary, additional registration of other NATS ignition key IDs can be carried out.
Regarding the procedures of NATS initialisation and NATS ignition key ID registration, refer to CONSULT
operation manual, NATS.
+When servicing a malfunction of the NATS (indicated by ¯ashing of Malfunction Indicator Lamp)
or registering another NATS ignition key ID no., it may be necessary to re-register original key
identi®cation. Therefore, be sure to receive all keys from vehicle owner.
System Composition
The immobiliser function of the NATS consists of the following:
+NATS ignition key
+NATS antenna amp. located in the ignition key cylinder
+NATS immobiliser control unit (NATS IMMU)
+Engine control module (ECM)
+NATS security indicator
+Malfunction indicator lamp (MIL)

CONSULT
CONSULT INSPECTION PROCEDURE
1. Turn off ignition switch.
2. Connect ``CONSULT'' to Data link connector for CONSULT.
(Data link connector for CONSULT is located behind the fuse
box cover.)
3. Insert NATS program card into CONSULT.
: Program card
NATS-E940
4. Turn on ignition switch.
5. Touch ``START''.
6. Touch ``V.2.0 (GASOLINE)''.
NOTE: ``V2.0 (GASOLINE)'' should be selected for electrically
controlled diesel and gasoline engines.
7. Perform each diagnostic test mode according to each service
procedure.

C/U INITIALIZATION When replacing any of the following three components, C/U initialization is necessary.
[NATS ignition key/IMMU/ECM]
SELF-FUNCTION CHECK ECM checks its own NATS communication interface by itself.
SELF-DIAGNOSTIC RESULTS Detected items (screen terms) are as shown in the chart below.
NOTE:
When any initialisation is performed, all ID previously registered will be erased. So all NATS ignition
keys must be registered again.
The engine cannot be started with an unregistered key. In this case, the system may show ``DIFFER-
ENCE OF KEY'' or ``LOCK MODE'' as a self-diagnostic result on the CONSULT screen.
HOW TO READ SELF-DIAGNOSTIC RESULTS
* If trip number is more than 1, MIL does not blink.
