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-184, ªWARNING LAMPSº or see EC-591.
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.

*1: When the same malfunction is
detected in two consecutive trips,
MI will light up.
*2: MI will go off after vehicle is driven
3 times (pattern B) without any
malfunctions.
*3: When the same malfunction is
detected in two consecutive trips,
the DTC and the freeze frame
data will be stored in ECM.
*4: The DTC and the freeze framedata will not be displayed any
longer after vehicle is driven 80
times (pattern C) without the same
malfunction.
(The DTC and the freeze frame
data still remain in ECM.)
*5: When a malfunction is detected
for the first time, the 1st trip DTC
and the 1st trip freeze frame data
will be stored in ECM.
*6: The 1st trip DTC and the 1st tripfreeze frame data will be cleared
at the moment OK is detected.
*7: When the same malfunction is
detected in the 2nd trip, the 1st
trip freeze frame data will be
cleared.
*8: 1st trip DTC will be cleared when
vehicle is driven once (pattern C)
without the same malfunction after
DTC is stored in ECM.
