The automatic back door system must be initialized by fully closing the back door anytime the battery
power is lost to the back door control unit.
The automatic back door system consists of a one piece unit that combines the back door control unit along
with the back door motor, back door clutch and the back door encoder. The back door latch contains a lock
function that can control the two functions of automatic back door latch closure and electrical opener with a
single motor when you close the back door to the halfway-state.
• Back door auto closure
When the back door is closed to the halfway state (half-latch) position, the motor automatically drives to
rotate the latch lever and pull it in from half latched to full latched.
• Power back door
With the back door closed, press the power liftgate switch or press the keyfob button, or pull the back door
handle with the back door unlocked, the back door latch motor opens the locking plate and releases the
latch. The back door motor then raises the door to the full open position.
With the back door fully open, press the power liftgate switch, keyfob button or the back door close switch,
the back door motor closes the door to the half-latch state. The back door latch motor then drives the latch to
the full close position.
At the onset of each power open or power close application, the hazard lamps will flash 3 times and the
warning chime will sound 3 times lasting a total of 2 seconds.
OPERATION DESCRIPTION
Power Liftgate Switch Operation (Fully Closed → Fully Open Operation)
• When the power liftgate switch is pressed, back door control unit terminal 23 receives the signal.
• The back door control unit checks the A/T selector lever (P position) through terminal 18, vehicle speed
through terminal 21, ignition status through terminal 7, glass hatch is closed through terminal 17 and battery
voltage is present through terminal 3.
• When the back door control unit receives the signal, if the auto back door operating enable conditions are
met, it sends a 5 volt signal through terminal 6 and grounds terminal 9 to sound the warning chime, sends a
signal to the BCM through terminal 4 to flash the hazard lamps and unlocks the back door latch through ter-
minal 12.
• The back door control unit supplies power to the magnetic clutch and the back door motor and moves the
back door in the open direction. (At this time, it also executes speed control, input reverse, and anti-pinch
detection control.)
• When the back door is opened to the full-open position, the full-open position is detected by the encoder,
and the back door control unit switches the back door motor OFF and the magnetic clutch is pulsed and then
turned OFF.
• The back door is held in the fully open position by the gas stays.
Remote Keyless Entry Operation (Fully Closed → Fully Open Operation)

through terminal 21, ignition status through terminal 7, glass hatch is closed through terminal 17 and battery
voltage is present through terminal 3.
• When the back door control unit receives the signal, if the auto back door operating enable conditions are
met, it sends a 5 volt signal through terminal 6 and grounds terminal 9 to sound the warning chime, sends a
signal to the BCM through terminal 4 to flash the hazard lamps and unlocks the back door latch through ter-
minal 12.
• The back door control unit supplies power to the magnetic clutch and the back door motor and moves the
back door in the open direction. (At this time, it also executes speed control, input reverse, and anti-pinch
detection control.)

and the back door control unit switches the back door motor OFF and the magnetic clutch is pulsed and then
turned OFF.
• The back door is held in the fully open position by the gas stays.
Back Door Handle Switch Operation (Fully Closed → Fully Open Operation)
• When the back door handle is pulled, back door control unit terminal 26 receives the signal.
• The back door control unit checks that the back door is unlocked and checks the A/T selector lever (P posi-
tion) through terminal 18, vehicle speed through terminal 21, ignition status through terminal 7, glass hatch is
closed, battery voltage and back door close switch position through terminal 13.
• When the back door control unit receives the signal, if all auto back door operating enable conditions are
met, it sends a 5 volt signal through terminal 6 and grounds terminal 9 to sound the warning chime, sends a

• Since only IVIS (NATS) ignition keys, whose IDs have been registered into the ECM and BCM, allow the
engine to run, operation of a stolen vehicle without a IVIS (NATS) registered key is prevented by IVIS
(NATS).
IVIS (NATS) will immobilize the engine if someone tries to start it without the registered key of IVIS (NATS).
• All of the originally supplied ignition key IDs have been IVIS (NATS) registered.
If requested by the vehicle owner, a maximum of five key IDs can be registered into the IVIS (NATS) compo-
nents.
• The security indicator blinks when the ignition switch is in OFF or ACC position. IVIS (NATS) warns outsiders
that the vehicle is equipped with the anti-theft system.
• When IVIS (NATS) detects a malfunction, the security indicator lamp lights up while ignition key is in the ON
position.
• IVIS (NATS) trouble diagnoses, system initialization and additional registration of other IVIS (NATS) ignition
key IDs must be carried out using CONSULT-II hardware and CONSULT-II IVIS (NATS) software.
When IVIS (NATS) initialization has been completed, the ID of the inserted ignition key is automatically IVIS
(NATS) registered. Then, if necessary, additional registration of other IVIS (NATS) ignition key IDs can be
carried out.
Regarding the procedures of IVIS (NATS) initialization and IVIS (NATS) ignition key ID registration, refer to
CONSULT-II Operation Manual NATS-IVIS/NVIS.
•When servicing a malfunction of the IVIS (NATS) (indicated by lighting up of Security Indicator
Lamp) or registering another IVIS (NATS) ignition key ID, it may be necessary to re-register original
key identification. Therefore, be sure to receive ALL KEYS from vehicle owner.
System CompositionINFOID:0000000003532988
The immobilizer function of the IVIS (NATS) consists of the following:
• NATS ignition key
• NATS antenna amp. located in the ignition key cylinder
• Body control module (BCM)
• Engine control module (ECM)
• Security indicator
NOTE:
The communication between ECM and BCM uses the CAN communication system.
ECM Re-communicating FunctionINFOID:0000000003532989
The following procedure can automatically perform re-communication of ECM and BCM, but only when the
ECM has been replaced with a new one 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 Oper-
ation 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.
