NATS (Nissan Anti-theft System)NJEC0591+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 pro-
gram card. Refer to NATS (Nissan Anti-Theft System) 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 procedure of NATS initialization and NATS
ignition key ID registration, refer to CONSULT-II operation
manual, NATS.
Malfunction Indicator (MI)
DESCRIPTIONNJEC0032
SAT652J
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-107, ªWARNING LAMPSº or see EC-488.
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.
On Board Diagnostic System FunctionNJEC0032S01The on board diagnostic system has the following four functions.
Diagnostic Test Mode I
1. BULB CHECK:
This function checks the MI bulb for damage (blown, open circuit, etc.).
If the MI does not come on, check MI circuit and ECM test mode selector. (See the following page.)
2. MALFUNCTION WARNING:
MI Condition
ON When the malfunction is detected or the ECM's CPU is malfunctioning.
OFF No malfunction.
Diagnostic Test Mode II (If so equipped)

NJEL0406For details, refer to ªELECTRICAL UNIT LOCATIONº (EL-319) and
ªHARNESS LAYOUTº (EL-324).
System DescriptionNJEL0407NATS (Nissan Anti-Theft System) 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 for Europe).
Dongle unit has its own ID which is registered into NATS IMMU. So if dongle unit is replaced, initialization
must be carried out.
+When malfunction of dongle unit is detected:
The security indicator lamp illuminates for about 15 minutes after ignition switch is turned to ON.
þ 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 lamp turns off in about 15 minutes
after ignition switch is turned to ON.
+All 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 security indicator 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 CONSULT-II
operation manual, NATS.

C/U INITIALIZATION When replacing any of the following components, C/U initialization and re-registration of all
NATS ignition keys are necessary.
[NATS ignition key/IMMU/ECM/Dongle unit]
SELF-DIAG RESULTS Detected items (screen terms) are as shown in the chart EL-239.
NOTE:
+When any initialization is performed, all ID previously reg-
istered will be erased and all NATS ignition keys must be
registered again.
+The engine cannot be started with an unregistered key. In this
case, the system may show ªDIFFERENCE OF KEYº or
ªLOCK MODEº as a self-diagnostic result on the CONSULT-II
screen.
+When initialization is performed for RHD models for Europe,
security indicator will flash six times to demonstrate recognition
of the dongle unit ID.
+In rare case, ªCHAIN OF ECM-IMMUº might be stored as a
self-diagnostic result during key registration procedure, even if
the system is not malfunctioning.
