 for any func-

tions other than engine start function of Intelligent Key system.

PRECAUTIONS FOR INTELLIGENT KEY SYSTEM

The transponder [the chip for NVIS (NATS) ID verification] is integrated into the Intelligent Key. 

In that case, the NVIS (NATS) ID verification can be performed when Intelligent Key backside is con-

tacted to push-button ignition switch. If verification result is OK, engine can be started.

OPERATION WHEN INTELLIGENT KEY IS CARRIED

1. When the push-button ignition switch is pressed, the BCM activates the inside key antenna and transmits

the request signal to the Intelligent Key.

2. The Intelligent Key receives the request signal and transmits the Intelligent Key ID signal to the BCM.
3. BCM receives the Intelligent Key ID signal and verifies it with the registered ID.
4. BCM turns ACC relay ON and transmits the ignition power supply ON signal to IPDM E/R.
5. IPDM E/R turns the ignition relay ON and starts the ignition power supply.
6. BCM detects that the selector lever position and brake pedal operating condition.
7. BCM transmits the starter request signal to IPDM E/R and turns the starter relay in IPDM E/R ON if BCM

judges that the engine start condition* is satisfied.

8. IPDM E/R turns the starter control relay ON when receiving the starter request signal.
9. Power supply is supplied through the starter relay and the starter control relay to operate the starter motor.

CAUTION:

If a malfunction is detected in the Intelligent Key system, the “KEY” warning lamp in the combina-

tion meter illuminates. At that time, the engine cannot be started.

10. When BCM receives feedback signal from ECM indicating that the engine is started, the BCM transmits a

stop signal to IPDM E/R and stops cranking by turning OFF the starter motor relay. (If engine start is

unsuccessful, cranking stops automatically within 5 seconds.)

CAUTION:

When the Intelligent Key is carried outside of the vehicle (inside key antenna detection area) while

the power supply is in the ACC or ON position, even if the engine start condition* is satisfied, the

engine cannot be started.

*: For the engine start condition, refer to the table below “POWER SUPPLY POSITION CHANGE TABLE BY

PUSH-BUTTON IGNITION SWITCH OPERATION”.

OPERATION RANGE

Engine can be started when Intelligent Key is inside the vehicle. However, sometimes engine may not start

when Intelligent Key is on instrument panel or in glove box.

ENGINE START OPERATION WHEN INTELLIGENT KEY IS CONTACTED TO PUSH-BUTTON IG-
NITION SWITCH

When Intelligent Key battery is discharged, the NVIS (NATS) ID verification between transponder in Intelligent

Key and BCM is performed when Intelligent Key backside is contacted to push-button ignition switch. If the

verification result is OK, engine can be started.

POWER SUPPLY POSITION CHANGE TABLE BY PUSH-BUTTON IGNITION SWITCH OPERA-
TION

The power supply position changing operation can be performed with the following operations.

NOTE:

• When an Intelligent Key is within the detection area of inside key antenna and when Intelligent Key backside

is contacted to push-button ignition switch, it is equivalent to the operations below.

• When starting the engine, the BCM monitors under the engine start conditions:

- Brake pedal operating condition

- Selector lever position

- Vehicle speed

Vehicle speed: less than 4 km/h (2.5 MPH)

NISSAN VEHICLE IMMOBILIZER SYSTEM-NATS : System Description

INFOID:0000000011278444

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

• The NISSAN VEHICLE IMMOBILIZER SYSTEM-NATS [NVIS (NATS)] prevents the engine from being

started by Intelligent Key whose ID is not registered to the vehicle (BCM). It has higher protection against

auto theft involving the duplication of mechanical keys.

• The ignition key integrated in the Intelligent Key cannot start the engine. When the Intelligent Key battery is

discharged, the NVIS (NATS) ID verification is performed between the transponder integrated with Intelligent

Key and BCM via NATS antenna amp. when the Intelligent Key backside is contacted to push-button ignition

switch. If the verification results are OK, the engine start operation can be performed by the push-button igni-

tion switch operation.

• Locate the security indicator lamp and apply the anti-theft system equipment sticker that warns that the NVIS

(NATS) is on-board the model.

• Security indicator lamp always blinks when the power supply position is any position other than ON.

• Up to 4 Intelligent Keys can be registered (including the standard ignition key) upon request from the owner.

• Specified registration is required when replacing ECM, BCM or Intelligent Key.

• Possible symptom of NVIS (NATS) malfunction is “Engine cannot start”. The engine can not be started

because of other than NVIS (NATS) malfunction, so start the trouble diagnosis according to 

SEC-63, "Work

Flow"

.

• If ECM other than genuine part is installed, the engine cannot be started. For ECM replacement procedure,

refer to 

EC-502, "Removal and Installation"

.

PRECAUTIONS FOR KEY REGISTRATION

• The ID registration is a procedure that erases the current NVIS (NATS) ID once, and then reregisters a new

ID. Therefore before starting the registration operation, collect all registered Intelligent Keys from the cus-

tomer.

• When registering the Intelligent Key, perform only one procedure to simultaneously register both ID [NVIS

(NATS) ID and Intelligent Key ID].

SECURITY INDICATOR LAMP

• Warns that the vehicle is equipped with NVIS (NATS).

• Security indicator lamp always blinks when the power supply position is any position other than ON.

NOTE:

Because security indicator lamp is highly efficient, the battery is barely affected.

ENGINE START OPERATION WHEN INTELLIGENT KEY IS CONTACTED TO PUSH-BUTTON IG-
NITION SWITCH

1. When brake pedal is depressed while selector lever is in the P (Park) position, BCM activates NATS

antenna amp. that is located behind push-button ignition switch.

2. When Intelligent Key (transponder built-in) backside is contacted to push-button ignition switch, BCM

starts NVIS (NATS) ID verification between BCM and Intelligent Key (transponder built-in) via NATS

antenna amp.

3. When the NVIS (NATS) ID verification result is OK, buzzer in combination meter sounds and BCM trans-

mits the result to ECM.

4. BCM turns ACC relay ON and transmits ignition power supply ON signal to IPDM E/R.
5. IPDM E/R turns the ignition relay ON and starts the ignition power supply.
6. BCM detects that the selector lever position is P (Park) or N (Neutral).
7. BCM transmits starter request signal to IPDM E/R and turns the starter relay in IPDM E/R ON if BCM

judges that the engine start condition* is satisfied.

8. IPDM E/R turns the starter control relay ON when receiving the starter request signal.
9. Power supply is supplied through the starter relay and the starter control relay to operate the starter motor.
10. When BCM receives feedback signal from ECM indicating that the engine is started, BCM transmits a

stop signal to IPDM E/R and stops cranking by turning off the starter motor relay. (If engine start is unsuc-

cessful, cranking stops automatically within 5 seconds.)

*: For the engine start condition, refer to the table “POWER SUPPLY POSITION CHANGE TABLE BY PUSH-

BUTTON IGNITION SWITCH OPERATION” below.

TION

The power supply position changing operation can be performed with the following operations.

NOTE:

• When an Intelligent Key is within the detection area of inside key antenna and when Intelligent Key backside

is contacted to push-button ignition switch, it is equivalent to the operations below.

• When starting the engine, the BCM monitors under the engine start conditions:

- Brake pedal operating condition

- Selector lever position

- Vehicle speed
