   Is there an applicable Operation Log in the Saved Data List?

   YES>>

   GO TO 2.

   NO>>

   GO TO 3.

2. PERFORM EPS CONTROL UNIT PROGRAMMING 
   1. CONSULT Perform EPS control unit programming, according to "Programming" of CONSULT Operation Manual. Refer to CONSULT Operation Manual.

      • Steering wheel: Not steering
      • Battery voltage: 12 - 13.5 V (Check the value displayed on the CONSULT screen.)
      • Vehicle speed: 0 MPH

   >>

   GO TO 5.

3. READ IN EPS CONTROL UNIT PART NUMBER BY "FAST LINKED" 
   1. Obtain EPS control unit part number by NISSAN PARTS CATALOG GLOBAL Web-FAST, according to the procedure of 'FAST linked' in CONSULT Operation Manual. Refer to CONSULT Operation Manual.
      CAUTION:

      Be sure to select "FAST linked".

      NOTE: "FAST linked" allows an appropriate programming by obtaining ECU part number from NISSAN PARTS CATALOG GLOBAL Web-FAST even when the part number cannot be obtained from the old ECU used before replacing with a new one.
