SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
NATS (Nissan Anti-Theft System) has the following immobilizer functions:
• Engine immobilizer shows high anti-theft performance to prevent engine from starting by other than the owner.
• Only a key with key ID registered in BCM and ECM can start engine, and shows high anti-theft performance to prevent key from being copied or stolen.
• Security indicator always flashes with mechanical key removed condition (key switch: OFF) and ignition
knob released condition on LOCK posit ion (ignition knob switch: OFF).
• Therefore, NATS warns outsiders that the vehicl e is equipped with the anti-theft system. Refer to SEC-15,
"System Description".
• If system detects malfunction, security indicator illuminates when ignition switch is turned to ON position.
• If the owner requires, ignition key ID or mechanical key ID can be registered for up to 4 keys.
• During trouble diagnosis or when the following parts have been replaced, and if mechanical key is added, registration* is required.
*1: All keys kept by the owner of the vehi cle should be registered with mechanical key.

- Mechanical key
- Intelligent Key unit
- Remote keyless entry receiver
- Steering lock solenoid
• NATS trouble diagnosis, system initialization and additional
registration of other mechanical key IDs must be
carried out using CONSULT-III.
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”. Identify the possible causes according to
“Work Flow”, Refer to SEC-3, "
Work Flow".
• If ECM other than Genuine NISSAN is installed, t he engine cannot be started. For ECM replacement proce-
dure, refer to SEC-6, "
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 fo r this procedure. Before starting the registration oper-
ation collect all registered Intelligent Keys from the customer.
• The NATS ID registration is the procedure that regi sters the ID stored into the transponder (integrated in
mechanical key) to BCM.
The Intelligent Key ID registration is the procedur e 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: LOCK) condition on ignition knob LOCKposition.
• Always flashes with ignition knob released (ignition knob switch: LOCK) condition on mechanical key removed position.
MAINTENANCE INFORMATION
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.
• Intelligent Key unit
• BCM
•ECM
• Mechanical key
• Steering lock solenoid
• NATS antenna amp.

VEHICLE SECURITY SYSTEM
System DiagramINFOID:0000000003775876
System DescriptionINFOID:0000000003775877
DESCRIPTION
The security system provides an audible and visual alarm when an unauthorized access to the vehicle is
detected while the system is in armed phase.
The security system consist of the BCM managing the audible alarm (horn) and the visual alarm (headlamps).
OPERATION FLOW
Disarmed Phase
When the vehicle is being driven or when doors are open, the theft warning system is set in the disarmed
phase on the assumption that the owner is inside or near the vehicle.
Pre-Armed Phase And Armed Phase
The vehicle security system turns into the pre-armed phase when ignition switch is in OFF position, all doors
are closed and locked (using Intelligent Key, door reques t switch or auto relock function). The system auto-
matically shifts into the armed phase.
Condition of Activating The System
When the following condition is performed in armed phase, the system sounds the horns and flashes the
headlamps for about 30 seconds.
• Any door is opened.
