insulation (either just before the harness connectors or for
the complete harness), for easy identification.
Precautions for NATS
NATS (Nissan Anti-Theft System)
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.
The NATS security indicator is located on the instrument panel. The
indicator blinks when the ignition switch is in ªOFFº or ªACCº posi-
tion. Therefore, NATS warns outsiders that the vehicle is equipped
with the anti-theft system.
IWhen NATS detects trouble, the malfunction indicator lamp
(MIL) blinks.
This blinking indicates that the anti-theft is not functioning, so
prompt service is required.
I If the malfunction indicator lamp comes on while the engine is
running, return the vehicle to the workshop before turning the
ignition switch ªOFFº.
Once the ignition switch is turned ªOFFº, the engine can not be
started.
I When servicing NATS (trouble diagnoses, system initialization
and additional registration of other NATS ignition key IDs) CON-
SULT-II hardware and CONSULT-II NATS software is neces-
sary.
Regarding the procedures of NATS initialization and NATS igni-
tion key ID registration, refer to CONSULT-II operation manual,
NATS.
Therefore, CONSULT-II NATS software (program card and
operation manual) must be kept strictly confidential to main-
tain the integrity of the anti-theft function.
I When servicing NATS (trouble diagnoses, system initialization
and additional registration of other NATS ignition key IDs), it
may be necessary to re-register original key identification.
Therefore, be sure to receive all keys from vehicle owner.
A maximum of five key IDs can be registered into NATS.
I When failing to start the engine first-time using the key of
NATS, starts as follows:
(1) Turn ignition key to ªOFFº.
(2) Wait approx. 5 seconds.
(3) Turn ignition key to ªSTARTº again while keeping the key
apart from any others on key-chain.

Engine compartment
There are several reasons a vehicle or engine vibration could
cause an electrical complaint. Some of the things to check for are:
IConnectors not fully seated.
I Wiring harness not long enough and is being stressed due to
engine vibrations or rocking.
I Wires laying across brackets or moving components.
I Loose, dirty or corroded ground wires.
I Wires routed too close to hot components.
To inspect components under the hood, start by verifying the integ-
rity of ground connections. (Refer to GROUND INSPECTION
described later.) First check that the system is properly grounded.
Then check for loose connection by gently shakingthe wiring or
components as previously explained. Using the wiring diagrams
inspect the wiring for continuity.
Behind the instrument panel
An improperly routed or improperly clamped harness can become
pinched during accessory installation. Vehicle vibration can aggra-
vate a harness which is routed along a bracket or near a screw.
Under seating areas
An unclamped or loose harness can cause wiring to be pinched by
seat components (such as slide guides) during vehicle vibration. If
the wiring runs under seating areas, inspect wire routing for pos-
sible damage or pinching.
HEAT SENSITIVE
The owner's problem may occur during hot weather or after car has
sat for a short time. In such cases you will want to check for a heat
sensitive condition.
To determine if an electrical component is heat sensitive, heat the
component with a heat gun or equivalent.
Do not heat components above 60ÉC (140ÉF). If incident occurs
while heating the unit, either replace or properly insulate the com-
ponent.

IIf the battery is disconnected, the emission-related diagnostic information will be lost after approx.
24 hours.

switching the diagnostic test mode using the data link connector.
NATS (Nissan Anti-Theft System)
IIf the security indicator lights up with the ignition switch in
the ªONº position or ªNATS MALFUNCTIONº is displayed
on ªSELF-DIAG RESULTSº screen, perform self-diagnostic

Refer to ªNATS (Nissan Anti-Theft System)º in EL section.
I Confirm no self-diagnostic results of NATS is displayed
before touching ªERASEº in ªSELF-DIAG RESULTSº mode
with CONSULT-II.
I 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 CONSULT-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 with-
out the engine running. This is a bulb check.
I If the MI does not light up, refer to EL section (ªWARNING
LAMPS AND CHIMEº) or see EC-310.
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.

Diagnostic test mode I Ð Bulb check
In this mode, the MI on the instrument panel should stay ON. If it remains OFF, check the bulb. Refer to EL
section, ªWARNING LAMPS AND CHIMEº or see EC-310.
Diagnostic test mode I Ð Malfunction warning
MICondition
ON When the malfunction is detected or the ECM's CPU is malfunctioning.
OFF No malfunction.
Diagnostic test mode II Ð Self-diagnostic results
In this mode, DTC is indicated by the number of blinks of the MI as shown below.
Long (0.6 second) blinking indicates the two LH digits of number and short (0.3 second) blinking indicates the
two RH digits of number. For example, the MI blinks 10 times for 6 seconds (0.6 sec x 10 times) and then it
blinks three times for about 1 second (0.3 sec x 3 times). This indicates the DTC ª1003º.
In this way, all the detected malfunctions are classified by their DTC numbers. The DTC ª0505º refers to no
malfunction. (See TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS Ð INDEX, EC-7.)
How to erase diagnostic test mode II (Self-diagnostic results)
The DTC can be erased from the backup memory in the ECM when the diagnostic test mode is changed from
Diagnostic Test Mode II to Diagnostic Test Mode I. (Refer to ªHow to Switch Diagnostic Test Modesº, EC-36.)
I If the battery terminal is disconnected, the DTC will be lost from the backup memory within 24
hours.
I Be careful not to erase the stored memory before starting trouble diagnoses.

Component Description
The heat up switch is located on the lower side of the instrument
panel. This switch is used to speed up the heater's operation when
the engine is cold.
When the ECM received the heat up switch ªONº signal, the ECM
increases the engine idle speed to 1,100 to 1,200 rpm to warm up
engine quickly.
This system works when all conditions listed below are met.
