CAN COMMUNICATION SYSTEM
System DescriptionINFOID:0000000001162753
CAN communication is a multiplex communication system. This enables the system to transmit and receive
large quantities of data at high speed by connecting control units with two communication lines (CAN-H and
CAN-L).
Control units on the CAN network transmit signals using the CAN communication control circuit. They
receive only necessary signals from other control units to operate various functions.
CAN communication lines adopt twisted-pair line style (two lines twisted) for noise immunity.
System DiagramINFOID:0000000001162754
Each control unit passes an electric current to the termination circuits when transmitting CAN communication
signal. The termination circuits produce an electrical potential difference between CAN-H and CAN-L. CAN
communication system transmits and receives CAN communication signals by the potential difference.

NATS trouble diagnosis, system initialization and additional registration of other mechanical key IDs must be
carried out using CONSULT-III hardware and SECURITY CARD.
When NATS initialization has been completed, the ID of the inserted mechanical key or mechanical key IDs
can be carried out.
Possible symptom of NATS malfunction is “Engine cannot start”. In C11, the engine can be started with the
Intelligent Key system and NATS. Identify the possible causes according to “Work Flow”, Refer to SEC-4,
"Work Flow".
If ECM other than Genuine NISSAN is installed, the engine cannot be started. For ECM replacement proce-
dure, refer to SEC-7, "
ECM RE-COMMUNICATING FUNCTION : Description".
PRECAUTIONS FOR KEY REGISTRATION
The key registration is a procedure that erases the current NATS ID once, and then re-registers a new ID.
Therefore the registered Intelligent Key is necessary for this procedure. Before starting the registration oper-
ation collect all registered Intelligent Keys from the customer.
The NATS ID registration is the procedure that registers the ID stored into the transponder (integrated in
mechanical key) to BCM.
The Intelligent Key ID registration is the procedure that registers the ID to Intelligent Key unit.
When performing the Intelligent Key system registration only, the engine cannot be started by inserting the
key into the key cylinder. When performing the NATS registration only, the engine cannot be started by using
the mechanical key.
SECURITY INDICATOR
Always flashes with ignition knob released (ignition knob switch: OFF) condition on ignition knob LOCK posi-
tion.
Always flashes with ignition knob released (ignition knob switch: OFF) condition on mechanical key removed
position.
Turns ON steady when the NATS is activated.

CAUTION:
It is necessary to perform NATS ID registration when replacing any of the following part.
If it's not (or fail to do so), the electrical system may not operate properly.

Precaution for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) "AIR BAG" and "SEAT BELT
PRE-TENSIONER"
INFOID:0000000001282485
The Supplemental Restraint System such as “AIR BAG” and “SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER”, used along
with a front seat belt, helps to reduce the risk or severity of injury to the driver and front passenger for certain
types of collision. Information necessary to service the system safely is included in the SR and SB section of
this Service Manual.
WARNING:
• To avoid rendering the SRS inoperative, which could increase the risk of personal injury or death in
the event of a collision which would result in air bag inflation, all maintenance must be performed by
an authorized NISSAN/INFINITI dealer.
Improper maintenance, including incorrect removal and installation of the SRS, can lead to personal
injury caused by unintentional activation of the system. For removal of Spiral Cable and Air Bag
Module, see the SR section.
Do not use electrical test equipment on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed to in this
Service Manual. SRS wiring harnesses can be identified by yellow and/or orange harnesses or har-
ness connectors.
Precaution Necessary for Steering Wheel Rotation After Battery Disconnect
INFOID:0000000001282486
NOTE:
This procedure is applied only to models with Intelligent Key system and NATS (NISSAN ANTI-THEFT SYS-
TEM).
Remove and install all control units after disconnecting both battery cables with the ignition switch in the
″LOCK″ position.
Always use CONSULT-III to perform self-diagnosis as a part of each function inspection after finishing work.
If DTC is detected, perform trouble diagnosis according to self-diagnostic results.
For models equipped with the Intelligent Key system and NATS, an electrically controlled steering lock mech-
anism is adopted on the key cylinder.
For this reason, if the battery is disconnected or if the battery is discharged, the steering wheel will lock and
steering wheel rotation will become impossible.
If steering wheel rotation is required when battery power is interrupted, follow the procedure below before
starting the repair operation.
OPERATION PROCEDURE
1. Connect both battery cables.
NOTE:
Supply power using jumper cables if battery is discharged.
2. Use the Intelligent Key or mechanical key to turn the ignition switch to the ″ACC″ position. At this time, the
steering lock will be released.
3. Disconnect both battery cables. The steering lock will remain released and the steering wheel can be
rotated.
4. Perform the necessary repair operation.
5. When the repair work is completed, return the ignition switch to the ″LOCK″ position before connecting
the battery cables. (At this time, the steering lock mechanism will engage.)
6. Perform a self-diagnosis check of all control units using CONSULT-III.
Precaution for Steering SystemINFOID:0000000001282487
Observe the following precautions when disassembling.
- Before disassembly, thoroughly clean the outside of the unit.
- Disassembly should be done in a clean work area. It is important to prevent the internal parts from becoming
contaminated by dirt or other foreign matter.
- For easier and proper assembly, place disassembled parts in order on a parts rack.

EPS CONTROL UNIT
• EPS control unit performs an arithmetical operation on data, such as steering wheel turning force (sensor
signal) from the torque sensor, vehicle speed signal, etc. Then it generates an optimum assist torque to the
EPS motor according to the driving condition.
EPS control unit decreases the output to EPS motor while extremely using the power steering function (e.g.,
full steering) for protecting EPS motor and EPS control unit (Protect overload status). While activating pro-
tect overload status, the assist torque gradually decreases, and the steering wheel turning force becomes
heavy. The normal assist torque reactivates by not steering.
In case of an error in the electrical system, the fail-safe function stops output signals to the EPS motor. Then
the previous state is changed to the manual steering state.
Self-diagnosis can be done with CONSULT-III.
EPS MOTOR
EPS motor provides the assist torque by control signal from EPS control unit.
TORQUE SENSOR
Torque sensor detects the steering torque, and transmit the signal to EPS control unit.
REDUCTION GEAR
Reduction gear increases the assist torque provided from EPS motor with worm gears, and outputs to the col-
umn shaft.
EPS WARNING LAMP
Turns ON when there is a malfunction in EPS system. It indicates that fail-safe mode is engaged and enters a
manual steering state (Control turning force steering wheel becomes heavy).
Also turns ON when ignition switch is turned ON, for purpose of lamp check. Turns OFF after the engine starts
if system is normal.

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
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.
For details, refer to LAN-30, "
CAN System Specification Chart".
Component parts Function

ing power steering continuously and excessively.

ing state, if malfunction is detected in EPS system.
