IVIS (INFINITI VEHICLE IMMOBILIZER SYSTEM-NATS)
Revision: 2004 November 2004 FX35/FX45
System CompositionAIS004PC
The immobilizer function of the IVIS (NATS) consists of the following:

Ignition key (models without Intelligent Key system)

Mechanical key (models with Intelligent Key system)

NATS antenna amp.

Steering lock unit. (models with Intelligent Key system)

BCM

Intelligent Key unit (models with Intelligent Key system)

Engine control module (ECM)

Security indicator
NOTE:
The communication between ECM, BCM and/or Intelligent Key unit uses the CAN communication sys-
tem.
ECM Re-communicating FunctionAIS004PD
Performing following procedure can automatically perform re-communication of ECM and BCM or Intelligent
Key unit, but only when the ECM has been replaced with a new one (*1).
*1: New one means a virgin ECM which has never been energized on-board.
(In this step, initialization procedure by CONSULT-II is not necessary)
NOTE:

When registering new Key IDs or replacing the ECM other than brand new, refer to CONSULT-II
Operation Manual NATS-IVIS/NVIS.

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. Using a registered key (*2), turn ignition switch to “ON”.
*2: To perform this step, use the key that has been used before performing 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-II Operation Manual NATS-IVIS/NVIS and initialize control
unit.

BRAKE PIPING AND HOSEPFP:46210
Hydraulic CircuitAFS001MY
CAUTION:

All hoses and piping (tubes) must be free from excessive bending, twisting and pulling.

Make sure there is no interference with other parts when turning steering both clockwise and
counterclockwise.

The brake piping is an important safety part. If a brake fluid leak is detected, always disassemble
the parts. Replace applicable part with a new one, if necessary.

Be careful not to splash brake fluid on painted areas; it way cause paint damage. If brake fluid is
splashed on painted areas, wash it away with water immediately.

Do not bend or twist brake hose sharply, or strongly pull it.

When removing components, cover connections so that no dirt, dust, or other foreign matter gets
in.

Refill with new brake fluid “ DOT 3 ”

Do not reuse drained brake fluid.
Removal and Installation of Front Brake Piping and Brake Hose AFS001MZ
REMOVAL
1. Drain brake fluid. Refer to BR-9, "Drain and Refill" .
2. Using a flare nut wrench, remove brake tube from brake hose.
3. Remove union bolt and remove brake hose from caliper assembly.
4. Remove lock plate and remove brake hose from the vehicle.
INSTALLATION
1. Install brake hose by aligning with the protrusion on caliper
assembly, and tighten union bolt to the specified torque.
NOTE:
Do not reuse copper washer.
2. Install brake hose to brake tube, partially tighten flare nut as far
as possible by hand, then secure it to bracket with lock plate.
3. Using a flare nut wrench, tighten flare nut to the specified
torque.
4. Refill brake fluid and bleed air. Refer to BR-10, "
