AUTOMATIC BACK DOOR SYSTEM
Revision: August 20072004 QX56
Back Door Close Switch Operation (Fully Open → Fully Closed Operation)

When the back door close switch is pressed, the back door control unit terminal 8 receives the signal.

The back door control units checks back door disable switch terminal 13 status and door position (must be
fully opened), through rotary encoder and battery voltage.

When the back door control unit receives the signal, if the auto back door operating enable conditions are
met, it sends a signal through terminal 6 and grounds terminal 9 to sound the warning chime and sends a
signal to the BCM through terminal 4 to flash the hazard lamps.

The back door control unit supplies power to the magnetic clutch and the back door motor and move the
back door in the close direction. (At this time, it also executes speed control, input reverse, and anti-pinch
detection control.)

When the back door reaches the half-latch state, the half-latch switch detects this and the signal is sent to
the back door control unit terminal 22.

When the back door control unit receives the half latch switch signal, it switches OFF the back door motor
and the magnetic clutch and operates the cinch latch motor.

When the back door latch operates and full close is detected through terminal 14 of the back door control
unit, the cinch latch motor reverses to the neutral position and the back door auto closure operation ends
and the door is fully closed.
Reversal

If the power liftgate switch, remote keyless entry switch or the back door close switch is pressed during
back door power open and close operation, the back door will reverse direction.

If the outside handle switch is pulled during power open or power close, the power back door will automat-
ically stop and go to manual mode.
Anti-Pinch Function

During auto open or close operation, if an object is detected in the door's path, the back door operates in
the reverse direction until fully closed or open to prevent pinching.

During auto close operation, if an object is detected by the pinch strips in the door's path, the back door
operates in the open direction until it is fully open.

During auto cinch latch operation, if an object is detected by the pinch strips in the door's path, the back
door operates depending on the back door disable switch position. If the back door disable switch is in the
OFF position, the back door operates in the open direction until it is fully open. If the back door disable
switch is in the ON position, the back door will reverse only until the latch is fully released.

If the pinch strips are present but are not functioning properly (permanently sensing a pinch), the auto-
matic back door system will operate in the open direction only.

If the pinch strips are not connected to the automatic back door system, it will not operate.
Gas Stay Check

During each power open operation, the back door control unit monitors motor current draw to determine if
the gas stays are functioning properly.

If a failure of the gas stays is detected, the back door control unit will close the back door while sounding
the warning chime.
Warning Functions

The warning chime is sounded according to the back door operating state, operations, and conditions.

4. Using the inside emergency release lever, open the back door.
5. Have an assistant press and hold the back door handle switch.
6. While the assistant continues to hold the back door handle switch, turn ignition switch ON (DO NOT start
engine).
7. After approximately 5 seconds, the back door warning chime will sound for 0.5 seconds.
8. Release the back door handle switch.
9. Within 8 seconds of the back door warning chime sounding, press the power liftgate switch 5 times in
rapid succession.
10. After approximately 5 seconds, the back door warning chime will sound for 1 second.
11. Release the power liftgate switch.
12. Immediately close the back door manually.
13. Press and release the power liftgate switch to activate operating check mode.
Self-diagnosis results are indicated by the back door warning chime.
Turn ignition switch OFF to end input signal check mode.

Revision: August 20072004 QX56
System DescriptionEIS002TM
IVIS (Infiniti Vehicle Immobilizer System-NATS) has the following immobilizer functions:

Since only IVIS (NATS) ignition keys, whose IDs have been registered into the ECM and BCM, allow the
engine to run, operation of a stolen vehicle without an IVIS (NATS) registered key is prevented by IVIS
(NATS).
IVIS (NATS) will immobilize the engine if someone tries to start it without the registered key of IVIS
(NATS).

All of the originally supplied ignition key IDs 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.

The security indicator blinks when the ignition switch is in OFF or ACC position. IVIS (NATS) warns out-
siders that the vehicle is equipped with the anti-theft system.

When IVIS (NATS) detects a malfunction, the security indicator lamp lights up while ignition key is in the
ON position.

IVIS (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 NATS-IVIS/NVIS.

When servicing a malfunction of the IVIS (NATS) (indicated by lighting up of Security Indicator
Lamp) or registering another IVIS (NATS) ignition key ID, it may be necessary to re-register origi-
nal key identification. Therefore, be sure to receive ALL KEYS from vehicle owner.
System CompositionEIS0 02 T N
The immobilizer function of the IVIS (NATS) consists of the following:

NATS ignition key

NATS antenna amp. located in the ignition key cylinder

Body control module (BCM)

Engine control module (ECM)

Security indicator
NOTE:
The communication between ECM and BCM uses the CAN communication system.
