COMPONENT PARTS
Push-button Ignition Switch
INFOID:0000000006226165
Push-button ignition switch detects that push-button is pressed, and then transmits the signal to BCM. BCM
changes the power supply position with the operation of push-button ignition switch. BCM maintains the power
supply position status while push-button is not operated.
Remote Keyless Entry ReceiverINFOID:0000000006226166
Remote keyless entry receiver receives each button oper ation signal and electronic key ID signal from Intelli-
gent Key, and then transmits the signal to BCM.
Security Indicator LampINFOID:0000000006226167
Security indicator lamp is located on combination meter.
Security indicator lamp blinks when power supply position is any position other than ON to warn that INFINITI
VEHICLE IMMOBILIZER SYSTEM-N ATS [IVIS (NATS)] is on board.
Starter Control RelayINFOID:0000000006226170
Engine starting system functions by controlling both starter relay and starter control relay.
Both relays are integrated in IPDM E/R. Starter relay is controlled by BCM, and starter control relay is con-
trolled by IPDM E/R on request from BCM.
IPDM E/R transmits starter relay and starter control relay status signal to BCM via CAN communication.
Starter RelayINFOID:0000000006226171
Engine starting system functions by controlling both starter relay and starter control relay.
Both relays are integrated in IPDM E/R. Starter relay is controlled by BCM, and starter control relay is con-
trolled by IPDM E/R on request from BCM.
IPDM E/R transmits starter relay and starter control relay status signal to BCM via CAN communication.
Steering Lock RelayINFOID:0000000006226172
Steering lock relay is integrated in IPDM E/R, and supplies power source to steering lock unit.
When IPDM E/R receives the steering lock relay ON request signal from BCM, IPDM E/R turns ON steering
lock relay and then transmits the steering lock relay condition signal to BCM.
Steering Lock UnitINFOID:0000000006226173
Steering lock unit performs steering lock/unlock operation on request from BCM, and power source is supplied
from steering lock relay integrated in IPDM E/R.
When push-button ignition switch is pressed while the In telligent Key is inside the vehicle, BCM performs the
ID verification with steering lock unit. Steering lock unit releases the steering lock based on the result of the ID
verification.
Steering lock unit has 2 switches (steering lock status switch and steering unlock status switch) inside. BCM
judges the steering lock/unlock condition by comparing these switch signals and steering lock unit status sig-
nal transmitted from IPDM E/R via CAN communication.
Stop Lamp SwitchINFOID:0000000006226174
Stop lamp switch detects that brake pedal is depressed, and then transmits the signal to BCM.
Transmission Range SwitchINFOID:0000000006226175
Transmission range switch is integrated in A/T asse mbly, and detects the A/T shift selector position.
TCM receives the transmission range switch signal and then transmits the P/N position signal to BCM and
IPDM E/R.
BCM confirms the A/T shift selector position with the following 5 signals.
 P position signal from A/T shift selector (detention switch)
 P/N position signal from TCM
 P position signal from IPDM E/R (CAN)
 P/N position signal from IPDM E/R (CAN)
 P/N position signal from TCM (CAN)
IPDM E/R confirms the A/T shift select or position with the following 3 signals.

 Up to 4 Intelligent Keys can be registered (Includi ng the standard Intelligent Key) upon request from the cus-
tomer.
NOTE:
Refer to DLK-18, "
INTELLIGENT KEY SYSTEM : System Description" for any functions other than engine
start function of Intelligent Key system.
PRECAUTIONS FOR INTELLIGENT KEY SYSTEM
The transponder [the chip for IVIS (NATS) ID verification] is integrated into the Intelligent Key. (For the
conventional models, it is integrated into the mech anical key.) Therefore, ID verification cannot be per-
formed by mechanical key only.
In that case, the IVIS (NATS) ID verification can be performed when Intelligent Key backside is con-
tacted to push-button ignition switch. If verification result is OK, engine can be started.
OPERATION WHEN INTELLIGENT KEY IS CARRIED
1. When the push-button ignition switch is pressed, the BCM activates the inside key antenna and transmits
the request signal to the Intelligent Key.
2. The Intelligent Key receives the request signal and transmits the Intelligent Key ID signal to the BCM.
3. BCM receives the Intelligent Key ID signal via remote keyless entry receiver and verifies it with the regis-
tered ID.
4. BCM transmits the unlock signal to steering lock unit and IPDM E/R if the verification results are OK.
5. IPDM E/R turns the steering lock relay ON and supplies power supply to the steering lock unit.
6. The steering lock releases.
7. BCM transmits the power supply stop signal to IPDM E/R when detecting that the steering lock is in the
unlock condition.
8. IPDM E/R turns the steering lock relay OFF and stops power supply to the steering lock unit.
9. BCM turns ACC relay ON and transmits the ignition power supply ON signal to IPDM E/R.
10. IPDM E/R turns the ignition relay ON and starts the ignition power supply.
11. BCM detects that the selector lever position and brake pedal operating condition.
12. BCM transmits the starter request signal to IPDM E/R and turns the starter relay in IPDM E/R ON if BCM
judges that the engine start condition* is satisfied.
13. IPDM E/R turns the starter control relay ON when receiving the starter request signal.
14. Power supply is supplied through the starter relay and the starter control relay to operate the starter motor. CAUTION:
If a malfunction is detected in the Intelligent Key system, the “KEY” warning lamp in the combina-
tion meter illuminates. At that time, the engine cannot be started.
15. When BCM receives feedback signal from ECM indicati ng that the engine is started, the BCM transmits a
stop signal to IPDM E/R and stops cranking by turning OFF the starter motor relay. (If engine start is
unsuccessful, cranking stops automatically within 5 seconds.)
CAUTION:
When the Intelligent Key is carried outside of th e vehicle (inside key antenna detection area) while
the power supply is in the ACC or ON position, even if the engine start condition* is satisfied, the
engine cannot be started.
*: For the engine start condition, refer to “POWER SUPPLY POSITION CHANGE TABLE BY PUSH-BUTTON
IGNITION SWITCH OPERATION”.
OPERATION RANGE
Engine can be started when Intelligent Key is inside the vehicle. However, sometimes engine may not start
when Intelligent Key is on instrument panel or in glove box.
ENGINE START OPERATION WHEN INTELLIGENT KEY IS CONTACTED TO PUSH-BUTTON IG-
NITION SWITCH
When Intelligent Key battery is discharged, the IVIS (NATS) ID verification between transponder in Intelligent
Key and BCM is performed when Intelligent Key backside is contacted to push-button ignition switch. If the
verification result is OK, engine can be started.
STEERING LOCK OPERATION
Steering is locked by steering lock unit when any of the following conditions are met.
