called a Telematics Communication Unit (TCU). With an active NissanConnect Services™
subscription, the TCU communicates with the Nissan Data Center to provide various
security and convenience services. To determine if a vehicle is equipped with a TCU, look
for the SOS button near the overhead map lamp.
IF YOU CONFIRM
The customer receives a Maintenance Alert from
NissanConnect Services notifying them that the oil
pressure warning light is on or that the service engine
warning light is on,
AND
there are no warning lights ON in the instrument panel,
AND
there are no related DTCs stored.

will be performing. You MUST closely follow the entire SERVICE PROCEDURE as it
contains information that is essential to successfully completing this repair.
Nissan Bulletins are intended for use by qualified technicians, not 'do-it-yourselfers'. Qualified technicians are
properly trained individuals who have the equipment, tools, safety instruction, and know-how to do a job



ASIST on the CONSULT PC has been synchronized (updated) to the current date.



Connect a battery maintainer or smart charger set to reflash mode or a similar
setting. If the vehicle battery voltage drops below 12.0V or rises above 15.5V
during reprogramming, the TCU may be damaged.



Be sure to turn OFF all vehicle electrical loads.
If a vehicle electrical load remains ON, the TCU may be damaged.

If the CONSULT PC battery voltage drops during reprogramming, the process
will be interrupted and the TCU may be damaged.



Turn OFF all external Bluetooth® devices (e.g., cell phones, printers, etc.)
within range of the CONSULT PC and the VI. If Bluetooth® signal waves are
within range of the CONSULT PC or VI during reprogramming, reprogramming
may be interrupted and the TCU may be damaged.
