(In this step, initialization procedure by CONSULT-III is not necessary)
NOTE:
• When registering new Key IDs or replacing the ECM that is not brand new, refer to CONSULT-III Oper-

ation 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.

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 position (ignition knob switch: OFF).

• Therefore, NATS warns outsiders that the vehicle is equipped with the anti-theft system. Refer to

SEC-104,

"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 5 keys.
• During trouble diagnosis or when the following parts have been replaced, and if ignition key is added, regis-

tration* is required.

*1

: All keys kept by the owner of the vehicle should be registered with mechanical key.

- ECM
- BCM
- Ignition key
- Remote keyless entry receiver
• 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-97, "Work Flow"

.

• If ECM other than Genuine NISSAN is installed, the engine cannot be started. For ECM replacement proce-

dure, refer to

SEC-100, "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 key is necessary for this procedure. Before starting the registration operation collect
all registered 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 key ID registration is the procedure that registers the ID to the BCM.

• When performing the 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 ignition
key.

SECURITY INDICATOR

• Always flashes with ignition key in the OFF 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.

• BCM
• ECM
• IPDM E/R
• Ignition key
• NATS antenna amp.
• Combination meter

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 keyfob, doorlock/unlock switch, driver key cylinder or auto relock function). The
system automatically 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.
