performed at no cost to the customer for parts or labor.
IDENTIFICATION NUMBER
Nissan has assigned identification number P5327 to this campaign. This number must
appear on all communications and documentation of any nature dealing with this campaign.
DEALER RESPONSIBILITY
Dealers are to correct each vehicle falling within the range of this campaign that enters the

1. Before continuing, it is IMPORTANT to make sure:

ASIST on the CONSULT PC has been freshly synchronized (updated).

All CONSULT-III plus (C-III plus) related software updates (if any) have been
installed.
NOTE: The CONSULT PC automatically gets all reprogramming software during
ASIST synchronization.
CAUTION:

Turn off all cell phones and external Bluetooth devices within range of C-III plus.

Do not touch C-III plus during reprogramming.

Do not disconnect the AC adaptor during reprogramming.

Do not disconnect the “plus” VI’s diagnostic cables during reprogramming.

Do not touch the power (“ignition”) switch during reprogramming.

Do not touch any electrical switch during reprogramming.
2. Open the hood, and then set up the GR8 Multitasking Battery Diagnostic Station
(battery tester/charger) for the 12V battery.

Set the GR8 to “power supply mode”.
CAUTION: Battery voltage must stay between 12 volts and 15.5 volts.
CAUTION: Do not charge the High Voltage (HV) Lithium Ion battery during
reprogramming.
NOTE:
 Check to see if the timer for either charging or climate control is on. If ON,
turn it OFF and make sure to turn it back ON after reprogramming.
