INTELLIGENT KEY SYSTEM/ENGINE START FUNCTION
Revision: 2007 April2007 M35/M45
starter motor relay. (If the engine initiating has failed, the cranking will stop automatically within 5 sec-
onds.)
CAUTION:
When the Intelligent Key is carried outside of the vehicle (inside key antenna detection area) with
the power supply in ACC or ON position, even if the engine start condition* is satisfied, the engine
cannot be started.
*: For the engine start condition, refer to BL-128, "
PUSH-BUTTON IGNITION SWITCH OPERATION PROCE-
DURE" .
Operation Range
Engine can be started when Intelligent Key is inside the vehicle. However, sometimes engine might not start
when Intelligent Key is on instrument panel or in glove box.
OPERATION WHEN KEY SLOT IS USED
When the Intelligent Key battery is discharged, it performs the immobilizer ID verification between the inte-
grated transponder and BCM by inserting the Intelligent Key into the key slot, and then the engine can be
started.
For details relating to starting the engine using key slot, refer to BL-244, "
IVIS (INFINITI VEHICLE IMMOBI-
LIZER SYSTEM-NATS)" .
PUSH-BUTTON IGNITION SWITCH OPERATION PROCEDURE
The power supply position changing operation can be performed with the following operation.
NOTE:
When an Intelligent Key is within the detection area of inside key antenna and when it is inserted to the
key slot, it is equivalent to the operations below.
When starting the engine, the Intelligent Key unit monitors the engine start conditions (brake pedal operat-
ing condition, A/T selector lever position, and vehicle speed).
Unless each start condition is fulfilled, the engine will not respond regardless of how many times the
engine switch is pushed. At that time, illumination repeats the position in the order of LOCK→AC-
C→ON→LOCK.

*1: When the A/T selector lever position is N position, the engine start condition is different according to the vehicle speed.
At vehicle speed of 5 km/h or less, the engine can start only when the brake pedal is depressed.
At vehicle speed of 5 km/h or more, the engine can start even if the brake pedal is not depressed. (It is the same as “Engine stall
return operation while driving”.)
*2: When the A/T selector lever position is in any position other than P position and when the vehicle speed is 5 km/h or more, the
engine stop condition is different.
Press and hold the push-button ignition switch for 2 seconds or more. (When the push-button ignition switch is pressed for too short
a time, the operation may be invalid, so properly press and hold to prevent the incorrect operation.)
Press the push-button ignition switch 3 times or more within 1.5 seconds. (Emergency stop operation)
CAN Communication System DescriptionNIS001YA
CAN (Controller Area Network) is a serial communication line for real time application. It is an on-vehicle mul-
tiplex communication line with high data communication speed and excellent error detection ability. Many elec-
tronic control units are equipped onto a vehicle, and each control unit shares information and links with other
control units during operation (not independent). In CAN communication, control units are connected with 2
communication lines (CAN H line, CAN L line) allowing a high rate of information transmission with less wiring.
Each control unit transmits/receives data but selectively reads required data only.
