SERVICE INFORMATION

The Applied Vehicles are equipped with a wireless communication device called a Telematics Communication Unit (TCU). With an active NissanConnectSM Services subscription, the TCU communicates with the NissanConnectSM 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 model- and year-specific steps required to successfully configure a TCU after it has been replaced.
 A check OFF sheet has been provided on page 21 to print and check off steps as they are performed. Please staple completed Check OFF Sheet to 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.

REQUIRED ACTIONS BY MODEL AND YEAR
IMPORTANT: After TCU replacement (steps 1-14)
 All steps below must be completed or telematics services will not operate properly.  Follow all of the model/year specific steps in this bulletin and use the Check OFF

TCU REPLACEMENT

NOTE:
 Each TCU is registered to a specific Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). TCUs cannot be "swapped" between vehicles. Once a TCU is registered to a vehicle, the TCU cannot be used in another vehicle.

 During this procedure, Intelligent Key Registration must be performed for the vehicles listed in this table. You MUST have ALL customer keys collected.

2016 ­ 2019 Altima 2018 ­ 2019 Armada 2016 ­ 2019 Maxima 2017 ­ 2019 Murano 2017 ­ 2019 Pathfinder

2018 ­ 2019 Rogue Hybrid
2018.5 ­ 2019 Rogue Sport *
2016 ­ 2019 Titan / Titan XD

* Intelligent Key Registration is required for 2018.5 Rogue Sport vehicles, not 2018
Rogue Sport vehicles. To determine if your vehicle applies, see step 32 on page 13 and locate the TCU ID number (Figure 17). If the TCU ID number begins with "2047", all customer keys must be collected for registration.

 The new/replacement TCU must come from Nissan North America parts supply.
 Some vehicles require TCU Configuration after replacement. Refer to step 20 on page 9.
 The VIN MUST be written to the replacement TCU after installation.
 Replacement TCU must be registered with SXM.

IMPORTANT: Are you replacing the TCU in a 2018 Armada?
 No  Continue to step 1 on the next page.
 Yes  Use C-III plus to check the BCM part number.
 Is the BCM part number 284B1-6GX0A?
 No ­ Continue to step 1 on the next page.
 Yes ­ Replace the BCM and then continue to step 1 on the next page.
 Refer to the Electronic Service Manual (ESM) for BCM removal information: ELECTRICAL POWER CONTROL > BODY CONTROL SYSTEM > REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION > BCM.

2. Go to https://owners.nissanusa.com/nowners/vinlookup/dealervinlookup.

3. Enter the VIN.
Vehicle is shown as not enrolled:
 The customer is not enrolled in NissanConnectSM Services. Have the customer enroll; and then confirm the SOS light illuminates. NOTE: It may take up to 48 hours for the services to be activated and the SOS light to illuminate after enrollment is completed.

"VIN not found" displays:
 The vehicle needs to be registered in the Nissan Owner Portal and enrolled in NissanConnectSM Services. Have the customer register and enroll; and then confirm the SOS light illuminates.
NOTE: It may take up to 48 hours for the services to be activated and the SOS light to illuminate after enrollment is completed.

Vehicle is shown as enrolled:
 Confirm the customer's NissanConnectSM Services subscription.
The customer can find this information three ways:  Log into to the NissanConnectSM Services portal and locate "Subscription"
on the first page.  Log into the NissanConnectSM Services mobile app and go to "Vehicle
Information" > "Package Info".  Call NissanConnectSM Services Powered by SiriusXM at 1-844-631-2928.

Turning ON the TCU During PDI

NOTE:
 This procedure is for 2016-2017 Applied Vehicles ONLY.
 In most instances, the TCU is ON when delivered to the dealership. See the steps below to determine if the TCU is ON or OFF.

1. With the vehicle in an area of known good reception, turn the ignition ON and check whether or not the green light on the SOS button is illuminated (see Figure 5a).
NOTE: It may be difficult to tell if the green light is illuminated if the vehicle is outside in bright sunlight.
 If the green light is illuminated, the process to turn ON the TCU is complete and no further action is needed.
 If the green light is not illuminated, go to Turn ON TCU on page 14.

Light not illuminated
Figure 5a

2. After the TCU is turned ON, check whether or not the green light on the SOS button is illuminated.
 If the green light is still not illuminated, verify the vehicle is unsold.
 If the vehicle has been sold, the customer will need to be enrolled in NissanConnectSM Services for the SOS light to be illuminated and for NissanConnectSM Services to be enabled.
 Refer to SOS Light Diagnosis Information on page 23.

3. Perform steps to Check TCU Cellular Reception - see page 18.

4 Turn the ignition OFF.

5. Pull OUT the extended storage switch to return the vehicle to shipping mode.

NOTE: If the "Turning ON the TCU During PDI" procedure is not followed correctly, the vehicle cannot be used in Dealer Demo mode or enrolled in NissanConnectSM Services.
Should this occur, the "Turning ON the TCU During PDI" procedure will need to be
performed again.
