IVIS (INFINITI VEHICLE IMMOBILIZER SYSTEM-NATS)
Revision: 2004 November 2004 FX35/FX45
System CompositionAIS004PC
The immobilizer function of the IVIS (NATS) consists of the following:

Ignition key (models without Intelligent Key system)

Mechanical key (models with Intelligent Key system)

NATS antenna amp.

Steering lock unit. (models with Intelligent Key system)

BCM

Intelligent Key unit (models with Intelligent Key system)

Engine control module (ECM)

Security indicator
NOTE:
The communication between ECM, BCM and/or Intelligent Key unit uses the CAN communication sys-
tem.
ECM Re-communicating FunctionAIS004PD
Performing following procedure can automatically perform re-communication of ECM and BCM or Intelligent
Key unit, but only when the ECM has been replaced with a new one (*1).
*1: New one means a virgin ECM which has never been energized on-board.
(In this step, initialization procedure by CONSULT-II is not necessary)
NOTE:

When registering new Key IDs or replacing the ECM other than brand new, refer to CONSULT-II
Operation Manual NATS-IVIS/NVIS.

If multiple keys are attached to the key holder, separate them before work.

Distinguish keys with unregistered key ID from those with registered ID.
1. Install ECM.
2. Using a registered key (*2), turn ignition switch to “ON”.
*2: To perform this step, use the key that has been used before performing ECM replacement.
3. Maintain ignition switch in “ON” position for at least 5 seconds.
4. Turn ignition switch to “OFF”.
5. Start engine.
If engine can be started, procedure is completed.
If engine cannot be started, refer to CONSULT-II Operation Manual NATS-IVIS/NVIS and initialize control
unit.
