IIf the security indicator lights up with the ignition switch in the ªONº position or ªNATS MALFUNC-
TIONº is displayed on ªSELF-DIAG RESULTSº screen, perform self-diagnostic results mode with
CONSULT-II using NATS program card. Refer to ªIVIS (Infiniti Vehicle Immobilizer System Ð NATS)º
in EL section.
IConfirm no self-diagnostic results of IVIS (NATS) is displayed before touching ªERASEº in ªSELF-
DIAG RESULTSº mode with CONSULT-II.
IWhen replacing ECM, initialization of IVIS (NATS) system and registration of all IVIS (NATS) igni-
tion key IDs must be carried out with CONSULT-II using NATS program card.
Therefore, be sure to receive all keys from vehicle owner. Regarding the procedures of IVIS (NATS)
initialization and IVIS (NATS) ignition key ID registration, refer to CONSULT-II operation manual,
IVIS/NVIS.
Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL)
DESCRIPTIONNBEC0032
SEF217U
The MIL is located on the instrument panel.
1. The MIL will light up when the ignition switch is turned ON without the engine running. This is a bulb check.
IIf the MIL does not light up, refer to EL-114, ªWARNING LAMPSº or see EC-648.
2. When the engine is started, the MIL should go off.
If the MIL remains on, the on board diagnostic system has detected an engine system malfunction.
On Board Diagnostic System FunctionNBEC0032S01The on board diagnostic system has the following two functions.

2) Close hood and glass hatch.
Disarmed phase
When the theft warning system is in the disarmed phase, the security indicator lamp blinks every 2.6 seconds.
Pre-armed phase and armed phase
The theft warning system turns into the ªpre-armedº phase when hood, glass hatch and all doors are closed
and the doors are locked by key or multi-remote controller. (The security indicator lamp illuminates.)
After about 30 seconds, the system automatically shifts into the ªarmedº phase (the system is set). (The
security indicator lamp blinks every 2.6 seconds.)

1) Unlock the doors with the key or multi-remote controller.
2) Open the glass hatch with the key.
4. Activating The Alarm Operation of The Theft Warning SystemNBEL0120S0104Make sure the system is in the armed phase. (The security indicator lamp blinks every 2.6 seconds.)
When any of the following operations is performed, the system sounds the horns and flashes the headlamps
for about 50 seconds.
1) Engine hood, glass hatch or any door is opened before unlocking door with key or multi-remote control-
ler.
2) Door is unlocked without using key or multi-remote controller.
3) Disconnecting and connecting the battery connector before canceling armed phase.

THEFT WARNING SYSTEM
System Description
EL-295

Ito smart entrance control unit terminal 33.
With the ignition switch in the ACC or ON position, power is supplied
Ithrough 10A fuse [No. 10, located in the fuse block (J/B)]
Ito smart entrance control unit terminal 21.
Ground is supplied
Ito smart entrance control unit terminal 16
Ithrough body grounds M77 and M111.
INITIAL CONDITION TO ACTIVATE THE SYSTEMNBEL0120S02The operation of the theft warning system is controlled by the doors, hood and glass hatch.
To activate the theft warning system, the smart entrance control unit must receive signals indicating the doors,
hood and glass hatch are closed and the doors are locked.
When a door is open, smart entrance control unit terminal 28, 29 or 40 receives a ground signal from each
door switch.
When a door is unlocked, smart entrance control unit terminal 26, 36 or 37 receives a ground signal from ter-
minal 4 of each door unlock sensor or terminal 1 of back door unlock sensor.
When the hood is open, smart entrance control unit terminal 27 receives a ground signal
Ifrom terminal 1 of the hood switch
Ithrough body grounds E13 and E41.
When the glass hatch is open, smart entrance control unit terminal 38 receives a ground signal
Ifrom terminal 1 of the glass hatch switch
Ithrough body grounds D210, B11 and B22.
When the doors are locked with key or multi-remote controller and none of the described conditions exist, the
theft warning system will automatically shift to armed mode.
THEFT WARNING SYSTEM ACTIVATION (WITH KEY OR REMOTE CONTROLLER USED TO
LOCK DOORS)
NBEL0120S03If the key is used to lock doors, terminal 41 receives a ground signal
Ifrom terminal 3 of the key cylinder switch LH
Ithrough back grounds M77 and M111
Ifrom terminal 1 of the back door key cylinder switch
Ithrough body grounds B11, B22 and D210.
If this signal or lock signal from remote controller is received by the smart entrance control unit, the theft
warning system will activate automatically.
Once the theft warning system has been activated, smart entrance control unit terminal 31 supplies ground to
terminal 2 of the security indicator lamp.
The security lamp will illuminate for approximately 30 seconds and then blink.
Now the theft warning system is in armed phase.
THEFT WARNING SYSTEM ALARM OPERATIONNBEL0120S04The theft warning system is triggered by
Iopening a door
Iopening the hood or the glass hatch
Iunlocking door without using the key or multi-remote controller.
Once the theft warning system is in armed phase, if the smart entrance control unit receives a ground signal
at terminal 26, 36, 37 (door unlock sensor), 28, 29, 40 (door switch), 38 (glass hatch switch) or 27 (hood
switch), the theft warning system will be triggered. The headlamps flash and the horn sounds intermittently.
Power is supplied at all times
Ithrough 7.5A fuse (No. 52, located in fuse and fusible link box)
Ito horn relay terminals 1 and 3.
Ithrough 10A fuse (No. 54, located in fuse and fusible link box)
Ito horn relay terminal 6.
When the theft warning system is triggered, ground is supplied intermittently
Ifrom terminal 4 of the smart entrance control unit
Ito headlamp relay LH and RH terminal 2 and
Ifrom terminal 19 of the smart entrance control unit

System Description=NBEL0171NATS (Nissan Anti-Theft System) has the following immobilizer functions:
ISince only IVIS (NATS) ignition keys, whose ID nos. have been registered into the ECM and IMMU of IVIS
(NATS), allow the engine to run, operation of a stolen vehicle without an IVIS (NATS) registered key is
prevented by IVIS (NATS).
That is to say, IVIS (NATS) will immobilise the engine if someone tries to start it without the registered key
of IVIS (NATS).
IAll of the originally supplied ignition key IDs (except for card plate key) have been IVIS (NATS) registered.
If requested by the vehicle owner, a maximum of five key IDs can be registered into the IVIS (NATS) com-
ponents.
IThe security indicator blinks when the ignition switch is in ªOFFº or ªACCº position. Therefore, IVIS (NATS)
warns outsiders that the vehicle is equipped with the anti-theft system.
IWhen IVIS (NATS) detects trouble, the security indicator lamp lights up while ignition key is in the ªONº
position.
IIVIS (NATS) trouble diagnoses, system initialization and additional registration of other IVIS (NATS) igni-
tion key IDs must be carried out using CONSULT-II hardware and CONSULT-II IVIS (NATS) software.
When IVIS (NATS) initialization has been completed, the ID of the inserted ignition key is automatically
IVIS (NATS) registered. Then, if necessary, additional registration of other IVIS (NATS) ignition key IDs
can be carried out.
Regarding the procedures of IVIS (NATS) initialization and IVIS (NATS) ignition key ID registration, refer
to CONSULT-II operation manual, IVIS/NVIS.
IWhen servicing a malfunction of the IVIS (NATS) (indicated by lighting up of Security Indicator
Lamp) or registering another IVIS (NATS) ignition key ID no., it is necessary to re-register original
key identification. Therefore, be sure to receive ALL KEYS from vehicle owner.
System CompositionNBEL0172The immobiliser function of the IVIS (NATS) consists of the following:
IIVIS (NATS) ignition key
IIVIS (NATS) immobilizer control unit (IMMU) located in the ignition key cylinder
IEngine control module (ECM)
