2. Change the diagnostic test mode from Mode II to Mode I by using the data link connector. (See
EC-1035.)
The emission related diagnostic information in the ECM can be erased by changing the diagnostic test mode.
+If the battery is disconnected, the emission-related diagnostic information will be lost after
approx. 24 hours.
+Erasing the emission-related diagnostic information using CONSULT-II is easier and quicker than
switching the diagnostic test mode using the data link connector.
NATS (Nissan Anti-Theft System)
+If the security indicator lights up with the ignition switch
in the ªONº position or ªNATS MALFUNCTIONº is dis-
played on ªSELF-DIAG RESULTSº screen, perform self-
diagnostic results mode with CONSULT-II using NATS
program card. Refer to ªNATS (Nissan Anti-Theft Sys-
tem)º in EL section.
+Confirm no self-diagnostic results of NATS is displayed
before touching ªERASEº in ªSELF-DIAG RESULTSº
mode with CONSULT-II.
+When replacing ECM, initialization of NATS system and
registration of all NATS ignition key IDs must be carried
out with CONSULT-II using NATS program card.
Therefore, be sure to receive all keys from vehicle
owner. Regarding the procedures of NATS initialization
and NATS ignition key ID registration, refer to CON-
SULT-II operation manual, NATS.
Malfunction Indicator (MI)
DESCRIPTION
The MI is located on the instrument panel.
1. The MI will light up when the ignition switch is turned ON
without the engine running. This is a bulb check.
+If the MI does not light up, refer to EL section (ªWARNING
LAMPS AND CHIMEº) or see EC-1276.
2. When the engine is started, the MI should go off.
If the MI remains on, the on board diagnostic system has
detected an engine system malfunction.
If MI illuminates or blinks irregularly after starting engine,
water may have accumulated in fuel filter. Drain water from
fuel filter. Refer to MA section.

ON BOARD DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM DESCRIPTIONZD30DDTi
Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) (Cont'd)
EC-1033

System Description
NATS has the following immobilizer 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.
+This version of NATS has dongle unit to improve its anti-theft performance (RHD models). Dongle unit
has its own ID which is registered into NATS IMMU. So it dongle unit is replaced, initialization must be
carried out.
+When malfunction of dongle unit is detected:
Ð The security indicator lamp illuminates for about 15 minutes after ignition switch is turned to ON.
Ð When dongle unit has a malfunction and the indicator lamp is illuminated, engine can not be started.
However, engine can be started only one time when security indicator turns off in about 15 minutes
after ignition switch is turned to ON.
+Both of the originally supplied ignition key IDs have been NATS registered.
If requested by the vehicle owner, a maximum of five key IDs can be registered into the NATS compo-
nents.
+The NATS security indicator (NATS security ind.) blinks when the ignition switch is in ªOFFº or ªACCº
position. Therefore, NATS warns outsiders that the vehicle is equipped with the anti-theft system.
+When NATS detects trouble, the security indicator lamp lights up as follows.

+NATS trouble diagnoses, system initialization and additional registration of other NATS ignition key IDs
must be carried out using CONSULT-II hardware and CONSULT-II NATS software.
Regarding the procedures of NATS initialization and NATS ignition key ID registration, refer to CON-
SULT-II operation manual, NATS.
+When servicing a malfunction of the NATS (indicated by lighting up of security Indicator Lamp)
or registering another NATS ignition key ID no., it is necessary to re-register original key identi-
fication. Therefore, be sure to receive ALL KEYS from vehicle owner.
