HINT: This bulletin applies to vehicles equipped with a 4G network compatible TCU. TCUs
compatible with 3G network only are no longer supported.
SERVICE INFORMATION
The APPLIED VEHICLES that come equipped with a factory installed SOS switch, located
near the overhead map lamp, also come equipped with a wireless communication device
called a Telematics Communication Unit (TCU). With an active NissanConnect® Services
subscription, the TCU communicates with the NissanConnect® Services Data Center to
provide various security and convenience services.
This bulletin contains important service procedures that must be performed properly in
order to set-up and maintain the telematics system for the APPLIED VEHICLES.


A table has been provided on the next page that lists the steps required to
successfully configure a TCU after it has been replaced.



A CHECK-OFF SHEET has been provided on page 20 to print and check off steps
as they are performed. Staple the completed CHECK-OFF SHEET to the repair
order.

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
properly and safely. NOTE: If you believe that a described condition may apply to a particular vehicle, DO
NOT assume that it does. See your Nissan dealer to determine if this applies to your vehicle.
