Description And Operation: Anti-Theft: Notes

The passive anti-theft system (PATS) consists of the following components:

• Anti-theft indicator
• Encoded ignition key(s) (the key contains a transponder)
• PATS transceiver
• Powertrain control module (PCM)

PATS uses radio frequency identification technology to deter a drive-away theft. Passive means that it does not require any activity by the user.
