Passive Anti-theft System (PATS)

This vehicle is equipped with a PATS. PATS disables the engine from starting if an unprogrammed PATS key is used or an invalid PCM ID is received. The PATS is controlled by the BCM. If there is a PATS concern that disables the engine, the IPC displays a corresponding message in the message center.
