ID Code Entry Procedure
Note:
A maximum of four remote controllers can be entered. Any attempt to enter a remote controller will
erase all ID codes previously entered. Therefore, be sure to receive all remote controllers from the
vehicle owner when any ID code entry is performed.
Enter the identity (ID) code manually when:
+remote controller or control unit is replaced.
+an additional remote controller is activated.
To enter the ID code, follow the procedures below.
PROCEDURE
Close all doors and lock driver side door.
Insert and remove the key from the ignition more than six times within 10 seconds.
Turn ignition key switch to ``ACC'' position. (The hazard warning lamps will then
¯ash twice.
Push any button on the new remote controller once. (The hazard warning lamps will
then ¯ash twice.)
At this time, the new ID code is entered and all previous ID memory is com-
pletely erased.
b
Do you want to enter any additional remote controller ID codes?
A maximum four ID codes may be entered. Any attempt to enter more will be
ignored.
No Yes
ADDITIONAL ID CODE ENTRY
Release the door lock, then lock again
with driver side knob lock switch.
Open driver side door or turn the ignition key switch to ``OFF'' position.
END.
After entering the identity (ID) code, check the operation of multi-remote con-
trol system.
NOTE:
+If you need to activate more than two additional new remote controllers, repeat the procedure
``Additional ID code entry'' for each new remote controller.
+If the same ID code that exists in the memory is input, the entry will be ignored.
+Entry of maximum four ID codes is allowed and any attempt to enter more will be ignored.
+Any ID codes cannot be entered after termination of the ``setting mode''.

MULTI-REMOTE CONTROL SYSTEM
EL-239

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 immobiliser control unit (NATS IMMU) located in the ignition key cylinder
+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.
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: ``V.2.0 (GASOLINE)'' should be selected for electrically
controlled diesel and gasoline engines.
7. Perform each diagnostic test mode according to each service
procedure.
For further information, see the CONSULT Operation Manual,
NATS V2.0 (GASOLINE).

CONSULT DIAGNOSTIC TEST MODE FUNCTION
CONSULT DIAGNOSTIC TEST
MODEDescription
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
NOTE:
+If trip number is more than 1, MIL does not blink.
+Time data is not indicated for TB45E engine models.
