Place the order with DENSO. Configure the Multi AV system. NOTE: The original DCU must be installed in the vehicle while performing part of this procedure. DO NOT remove the original DCU until instructed. The DCU order approval process does not apply to 2017 Pathfinder vehicles. TECH LINE authorization is not needed for 2017 Pathfinder vehicles. For 2017 Pathfinder vehicles, refer to NTB16-104. This process does not apply to 2017 Armada vehicles since it uses a different system. 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. 1/14 SERVICE PROCEDURE Before starting, make sure your ASIST has been synchronized to the current date and all CONSULT-III plus (C-III plus) updates have been installed. Parts of the Procedure PART 1: Confirm Proper Diagnosis and Repair with TECH LINE to Obtain DCU Order Approval / Place Order with DENSO PART 2: Record Multi AV Configuration Values of Original DCU / Replace DCU PART 3: Configure Multi AV System PART 4: Manually Configure Multi AV System (if needed) PART 1: Confirm Proper Diagnosis and Repair with TECH LINE to Obtain DCU Order Approval / Place Order with DENSO NOTE: The DCU order approval process is to be performed on all 2018-2019 APPLIED VEHICLES and does not apply to 2017 and earlier models. TECH LINE authorization is not needed for 2017 and earlier models. To improve customer satisfaction by providing the correct repair on the first visit, Nissan has established a procedure for ordering an “exchange” or “new” DCU. To ensure proper diagnosis and repair, the technician will need to contact TECH LINE to confirm (or assist with) their diagnosis and the proper repair prior to ordering the DCU. DENSO will require a confirmation from TECH LINE prior to shipping an exchange DCU. Approval from TECH LINE does not mean the DCU has been ordered. The DCU can be ordered from DENSO only after approval from TECH LINE. New DCUs will be put on parts restriction and will need to be cleared before the order is shipped. In the event that a new DCU is required, the warranty claims call center will verify that TECH LINE has recommended replacement. This process applies to vehicles equipped with a Navigation system as well as nonNavigation vehicles. TECH LINE has the support of engineering and DENSO in diagnosis, if needed. Most DCUs ordered should be an exchange unit versus a new unit. The requirement of contacting TECH LINE for confirmation to replace a DCU will be monitored to ensure the most effective and accurate method of repair. 2/14 NTB19-002 NOTE: In most cases, an exchange DCU will be ordered. A new DCU is required only if: The vehicle has not yet been sold. The customer requests a new DCU on a non-warranty repair. The exchange DCU is not available. It is an insurance claim replacement. NOTE: While not required, Nissan recommends using this procedure for non-warranty repairs to ensure that proper diagnosis and repair is performed. Contact TECH LINE to Confirm DCU Replacement is Needed NOTE: Contacting TECH LINE is done to confirm diagnosis. After diagnosis, an exchange DCU can be ordered by your parts department directly from DENSO. See Order an Exchange DCU from DENSO on the next page. 1. Duplicate and verify the customer’s concern if possible. If duplication is not possible, gather as much information about the issue as possible from the service advisor/writer or customer. 2. Check for any connected devices (phone, iPod, MP3 player, etc.) or determine if a connected device is present during the concern. Gather model and software version information if possible. 3. Contact TECH LINE after gathering preliminary information of the concern. After diagnosis of the concern has been performed, and the technician and TECH LINE agree that the DCU should be replaced, go to step 4. 4. TECH LINE will confirm with DENSO, by email, that the diagnosis has occurred and a DCU replacement is approved. NOTE: TECH LINE will not send an email or fax to your parts department. Approval from TECH LINE does not mean the DCU has been ordered. The DCU can be ordered from DENSO only after approval from TECH LINE (see page 4). 3/14 NTB19-002 Order Exchange DCU from DENSO After steps 1-4 have been completed, your parts department will order the replacement exchange DCU as instructed below. 5.
