Trouble Diagnosis
The Timer Control Unit includes software to help during development testing, manufacturing and service.
It allows the technician to put it into Diagnostic Mode. In this mode, all switch inputs can be tested for conti-
nuity and if so equipped, alarm triggers identified.
When the time control unit is in Diagnostic Mode, the control unit tests the component and indicate the result
by the hazard lamp flashing.
On vehicles with a theft warning system, the TCU will first indicate the source of the last three alarm triggers
by flashing the hazard lamp. (Refer to ªTHEFT WARNING SYSTEMº, EL-209.)
ESTART
NOTE: Before entering diagnostic mode, make sure the vehicle is fully unlocked,
the ignition is switched off and the hazard switch is off.
Press the rear defogger switch exactly 6 times within 10 seconds.
FNG

OK
Within 10 seconds after confirmation of step I, turn the ignition ON, for at least 2 seconds.
FNG
The hazard lamp flash at 3 Hz for 1 second to confirm step II.
OK
Within 10 seconds after confirmation of step II, turn the ignition off,
remove the ignition key and press the rear defogger switch for at least 5 seconds.

(all other doors closed)Hazards flash once Driver's door open signal
Passenger or rear door opened from closed
(all other doors closed)Hazards flash once Door open signal for opened door
Driver's door locked from unlocked Hazards flash once Driver's door status signal
Passenger door locked from unlocked Hazards flash once Assist door status signal
Rear doors locked from unlocked

Key turned to lock position in door Hazards flash once * Key cylinder lock switch signal
Lighting switch turned 1st position or 2nd
position from offHazards flash once Tail lamp signal
Key put in ignition cylinder from out Hazards flash once Key in detect signal
Central unlock switch is pressed Hazards flash once Central unlock/Trunk release signal
*) Hazards may flash a second time because of Driver's door status signal change. The min. delay time between flash actions is
100 ms.
In case the system does not operate as described above, check the concerned circuit for open or short.
After completion, the Diagnostic Mode can be switched off by pressing the rear defogger switch or by turning
the ignition to ªONº. The hazard lamp will flash at 3 Hz for 3 seconds to confirm that Diagnostic Mode has

System Description
NATS has the following immobiliser functions:
IThis version of NATS has dongle control unit to improve its anti-theft performance (RHD models). Dongle
control unit has its own ID which is registered into NATS IMMU. So if dongle unit is replaced, initialization
must be carried out.
IWhen malfunction of dongle unit is detected:
The security indicator lamp illuminates for about 15 minutes after ignition switch is turned to ON.
Ð When dongle control unit has a malfunction, and the indicator lamp is illuminated, engine can not be
started. However engine can be started only one time when security indicator lamp turns off in about
15 minutes after ignition switch is turned to ON.
ISince only NATS ignition keys, whose ID nos. have been registered into the ECM and IMMU of NATS,
allow the engine to run, operation of a stolen vehicle without a NATS registered key is prevented by NATS.
That is to say, NATS will immobilize the engine if someone tries to start it without the registered key of
NATS.
IAll of the originally supplied ignition key IDs have been NATS registered.
If requested by the vehicle owner, a maximum of five key IDs can be registered into the NATS compo-
nents.
IThe NATS security indicator (NATS security ind.) blinks when the ignition switch is in ªOFFº or ªACCº
position. Therefore, NATS warns outsiders that the vehicle is equipped with the anti-theft system.
IWhen NATS detects trouble, the security indicator lamp lights up as follows.

INATS trouble diagnoses, system initialisation and additional registration of other NATS ignition key IDs
must be carried out using CONSULT-II hardware and CONSULT-II NATS software.
Regarding the procedures of NATS initialisation and NATS ignition key ID registration, refer to CONSULT-II
operation manual, NATS.
IWhen servicing a malfunction of the NATS (indicated by lighting up of security Indicator Lamp) or
registering another NATS ignition key ID no., it may be necessary to re-register original key iden-
tification. Therefore, be sure to receive all keys and the PIN code from vehicle owner.
