INTELLIGENT KEY REGISTRATION
Intelligent Key-ID registration is performed using the CONSULT-II.
CAUTION:

After a new Intelligent Key-ID is registered, be sure to check the function.

When registering an additional Intelligent Key-ID, take any Intelligent Keys already registered and
Intelligent Keys for any other vehicles out of the vehicle before starting.
CONSULT-II can be used to check and delete Intelligent Key-IDs.
For future information, see Technical Bulletin.
STEERING LOCK UNIT REGISTRATION
Steering Lock Unit ID Registration
CAUTION:

The method for registering a steering lock unit ID depends on the status of the steering lock unit
and Intelligent Key unit (new or old unit).

After registration is completed, press ignition switch with an Intelligent Key in the vehicle so that it
can be turned, and confirm that it cannot be turned even when ignition switch is pressed without
an Intelligent Key in the vehicle.
For future information, see Technical Bulletin.
CAN Communication System DescriptionNIS001X9
CAN (Controller Area Network) is a serial communication line for real time application. It is an on-vehicle mul-
tiplex communication line with high data communication speed and excellent error detection ability. Many elec-
tronic control units are equipped onto a vehicle, and each control unit shares information and links with other
control units during operation (not independent). In CAN communication, control units are connected with 2
communication lines (CAN H line, CAN L line) allowing a high rate of information transmission with less wiring.
Each control unit transmits/receives data but selectively reads required data only.

PRECAUTIONS FOR INTELLIGENT KEY SYSTEM

In the Intelligent Key system of model Y50, the transponder (the chip for immobilizer ID verifica-
tion) is integrated into the Intelligent Key. (For the conventional models, it is integrated into the
mechanical key.) Therefore, the mechanical key cannot perform the ID verification, and thus it can-
not start the engine. Instead of it, the immobilizer ID verification can be performed by inserting the
Intelligent Key into the key slot, and then it can start the engine.

When registering the Intelligent Key, 2 registration procedures (immobilizer ID registration and
Intelligent Key ID registration) should be performed. The immobilizer ID registration is the proce-
dure that registers the ID stored into the transponder (integrated into Intelligent Key) to the BCM.
The Intelligent Key ID registration is the procedure that registers the ID to the Intelligent Key unit.
Each registration is a different procedure.

When performing the Intelligent Key ID registration only, the engine cannot be started by inserting
the key into the key slot. When performing the engine immobilizer ID registration only, the engine
cannot be started by the operation when carrying the key. The registrations of both systems
should be performed.
Operation DescriptionNIS001Y9
SYSTEM DIAGRAM
OPERATION WHEN INTELLIGENT KEY IS CARRIED
Description
1. When the push-button switch is pressed, the Intelligent Key unit signals the inside key antenna and sends
the request signal to the Intelligent Key.
2. The Intelligent Key receives the request signal and sends the Intelligent Key ID signal to the Intelligent
Key unit via the remote keyless entry receiver.
3. The Intelligent Key receives the Intelligent Key ID signal and verifies it with the registered ID.
4. If the ID is successfully verified, the Intelligent Key unit sends the steering unlock signal to the steering
lock unit. Then, it sends each power supply request signal to PDU (Power Distribution Unit) after unlock-
ing the steering lock.
5. If the Intelligent Key unit judges that the engine start condition is satisfied, it sends the starter request sig-
nal via CAN communication to IPDM E/R and turns the starter motor relay ON.
6. The steering lock unit unlocks the steering lock when receiving the signal. PDU starts the power supply
distribution according to the push-button ignition switch operation when receiving the signal. If it enters the
engine start permission mode, the power supply is supplied from PDU to the starter motor relay and the
cranking is started.
CAUTION:
If a malfunction is detected in the Intelligent Key system, the “KEY” warning lamp in the combina-
tion meter illuminates for 15 seconds. At that time, the engine cannot be started.
7. When Intelligent Key unit received feedback signal from ECM acknowledging the engine has been initi-
ated, the Intelligent Key unit sends a stop signal to IPDM E/R and stops the cranking by turning OFF the

IVIS (INFINITI VEHICLE IMMOBILIZER SYSTEM-NATS)
Revision: 2007 April2007 M35/M45
System DescriptionNIS0020D
DESCRIPTION

The IVIS (NATS) is an anti-theft system by registering an Intelligent Key ID in to the vehicle and prevents
the engine being started by an unregistered Intelligent Key. It has a higher protection against auto thefts
that duplicates mechanical key.

It performs the ID verification when starting the engine in the same way as the Intelligent Key system. But,
it performs the IVIS (NATS) ID verification when inserting the Intelligent Key and performs the Intelligent
Key ID verification when carrying the Intelligent Key.

The Intelligent Key system of FUGA (Y50) is not the same as the conventional models. The mechanical
key integrated in the Intelligent Key cannot start the engine. When the Intelligent Key battery is dis-
charged, the IVIS (NATS) ID verification memorized to the transponder integrated with Intelligent Key is
performed by inserting the Intelligent Key into the key slot. If the verification results are OK, the engine
start operation can be performed by the push-button ignition switch operation.

Locate the security indicator and apply the anti-theft system equipment sticker, forewarn that the IVIS
(NATS) is onboard with the model.

The security indicator always blinks when the Intelligent Key is removed from the key slot and when the
power supply position is in LOCK position.

Intelligent Key can be registered up to 4 keys (Including the standard ignition key) on request from the
owner.

The specified registration is required when replacing ECM, BCM or Intelligent Key. The registrations pro-
cedure for IVIS (NATS) and registration procedure for Intelligent Key when installing the Intelligent Key
unit, refer to CONSULT-II Operation Manual NATS-IVIS/NVIS.

Possible symptom of IVIS (NATS) malfunction is “Engine cannot start”. In FUGA (Y50), the engine can be
started with the Intelligent Key system and IVIS (NATS). Identify the possible causes according to “Work
Flow”, Refer to BL-269, "
Work Flow" .

If ECM other than Genuine NISSAN is installed, the engine cannot be started. For ECM replacement pro-
cedure, refer to BL-248, "
ECM Re-Communicating Function" .
PRECAUTIONS FOR KEY REGISTRATION

The key registration is a procedure that erases the current IVIS (NATS) ID once, and then re register a
new ID operation. Therefore the registered Intelligent Key is necessary for this procedure. Before starting
the registration operation collect all registered Intelligent Key from the customer

When registering the Intelligent Key, 2 registration procedures [IVIS (NATS) ID registration and Intelligent
Key ID registration] should be performed. The IVIS (NATS) ID registration is the procedure that registers
the ID stored into the transponder (integrated into Intelligent Key) to the BCM. The Intelligent Key ID reg-
istration is the procedure that registers the ID to the Intelligent Key unit. Each registration procedure
should be done separated.

When performing the Intelligent Key system registration only, the engine cannot be started by inserting the
key into the key slot. When performing the IVIS (NATS) registration only, the engine cannot be started by
the operation when carrying the key. The registrations of both systems should be performed.
SECURITY INDICATOR

Warn the outside that the vehicle is the model with IVIS (NATS).

The security indicator always blinks when the Intelligent Key is removed from the key slot and when the
ignition switch is in LOCK position.
NOTE:
Because security indicator is highly efficient, the battery is barely affected.

IVIS (INFINITI VEHICLE IMMOBILIZER SYSTEM-NATS)
Revision: 2007 April2007 M35/M45

Unless each start condition is fulfilled, the engine will not response regardless of how many times the
push-button ignition switch is pushed. At that time, illumination repeats the position in the order of LOCK
→ ACC → ON → LOCK.
*1: When the A/T selector lever position is N position, the engine start condition is different according to the vehicle speed.

At vehicle speed of 5 km/h or less, the engine can start only when the brake pedal is depressed.

At vehicle speed of 5 km/h or more, the engine can start even if the brake pedal is not depressed. (It is the same as “Engine stall
return operation while driving”.)
*2: When the A/T selector lever position is in any position other than P position and when the vehicle speed is 5 km/h or more, the
engine stop condition is different.

Press and hold the push-button ignition switch for 2 seconds or more. (When the push-button ignition switch is pressed for too short
a time, the operation may be invalid, so properly press and hold to prevent the incorrect operation.)

Press the push-button ignition switch 3 times within 1.5 seconds. (Emergency stop operation)
ECM Re-Communicating FunctionNIS0020F
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. Insert the registered Intelligent 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”.
