• NATS trouble diagnoses, system initialization and additional registration of other NATS mechanical key IDs
must be carried out using CONSULT-III hardware and CONSULT-III NATS software. When NATS initializa-
tion has been completed, the ID of the inserted mechanical key can be displayed.
Regarding the procedures of NATS initialization and mechanical key ID registration, refer to CONSULT-III
operation manual NATS.
SECURITY INDICATOR
• Forewarns that the vehicle is equipped with NATS.
• Security indicator will not blink while the ignition knob is in ON or START state.
NOTE:
Because security indicator is highly efficient, the battery is barely affected.
Condition of Security Indicator
• When operating the ignition switch with Intelligent Key, security indicator lamp will turn off at once if ignition
switch is pressed and blinks when ignition switch is released.
• When operating the ignition switch with mechanical key security indicator will turn off at once if mechanical
key is inserted into key cylinder and blinks when mechanical key is removed.
(Once the mechanical key is inserted into key cylinder, BCM will only perform the key ID verification with
mechanical key)
System CompositionINFOID:0000000001704105
The function of the NATS consists of the following:
• Mechanical key
• NATS antenna amp. located in the ignition key cylinder
•BCM
• ECM (Engine control module)
• Security indicator
• Intelligent Key unit (if equipped)
NOTE:
The communication between ECM, BCM and/or Intelligent Key unit uses the CAN communication sys-
tem.
ECM Re-communicating FunctionINFOID:0000000001704106
Performing the following procedure can automatically perform re-communication of ECM and BCM or Intelli-
gent Key unit, 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-III is not necessary)
NOTE:
•When registering new Key IDs or replacing the ECM other than brand new, refer to CONSULT-III
Operation Manual NATS.

•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. Use a registered key (*), turn ignition switch to “ON”.
*: To perform this step, use the key that has been used before to perform 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-III Operation Manual NATS and initialize control unit.

NATS (NISSAN ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM)
1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
2. Insert NATS program card into CONSULT-III.
3. Connect CONSULT-III to data link connector.
4. Turn ignition switch ON.
5. Touch “START”.
6. Touch “OTHER”.
7. Select “NATS V.5.0”.
If “NATS V5.0” is not indicated, go to GI-36, "
CONSULT-III Data Link Connector (DLC) Circuit" .
8. Perform each diagnostic test mode according to each service procedure.
For further information, see the CONSULT-III Operation Manual NATS.
CONSULT-III DIAGNOSTIC TEST MODE FUNCTION
*: When replace ECM, refer to BL-211, "ECM Re-communicating Function" .
NOTE:
• When any initialization is performed, all ID previously registered will be erased and all NATS mechanical
keys must be registered again.
• The engine cannot be started with an unregistered key. In this case, the system will show “DIFFERENCE OF
KEY” or “LOCK MODE” as a self-diagnostic result on the CONSULT-III screen.
• In rare case, “CHAIN OF ECM-IMMU” might be stored as a self-diagnostic result during key registration pro-
cedure, even if the system is not malfunctioning.
