System Description
The TCU (Time Control Unit) has the following functions.
INTERIOR LAMP TIMER
The interior lamp timer is controlled by the TCU.
The TCU keeps the interior lamp illuminated for about 30 seconds when:
Ithe ignition key is turned from ªONº to ªACCº to ªLOCKº
Ithe driver's door is unlocked
Ia door is opened and then closed while the ignition switch is in the ªOFFº position. (Interior lamp switch
in the ªDOORº position).
The timer is canceled when:
Idriver's door is locked, or
Iignition switch is turned ªONº.
IGNITION KEY WARNING CHIME AND LIGHT WARNING CHIME
The ignition key and light warning chime are controlled by the TCU.
The warning chime is combined with the TCU.
The light warning chime will not sound, when ignition switch is in the ªONº or ªSTARTº position. (When power
supply exists at TCU terminal
U01.)
With ignition switch in the OFF position, driver's door open, and lighting switch in 1ST or 2ND position, warn-
ing chime will sound.
Or, with the key in the ignition switch in the ªACCº or ªOFFº position, and locking the driver's door from the
inside, the warning buzzer will sound.
REAR WINDOW DEFOGGER TIMER
The rear window defogger and door mirror defogger system are controlled by the TCU.
The rear window and door mirror defogger operate only for approximately 15 minutes.
POWER DOOR LOCK (Super Lock)
The power door lock (super lock) is controlled by the TCU.

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.

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.
