Non-Pats Issues

The following are NOT Passive Anti-Theft System issues:  :

• The "Service Engine Soon" light is illuminated. (Investigate PCM system).
• There is no communication with PCM: PCM will always communicate on the diagnostic link regardless of theft status. (Investigate PCM system).
• Engine stalls on road: Once the engine runs for one second, PATS CANNOT disable the engine. Running stalls are not PATS related issues.
• Remote Entry/Keyless Entry problems: PATS is completely separate from the Remote Entry/Keyless Entry systems.
• There is a no-crank problem on vehicles without PATS Starter disable. Check chart, on reverse side, for presence of Starter Interrupt.
• PATS Theft Indicator flashes every 2 seconds at Ignition OFF. This is normal operation for PATS to act as a visual theft deterrent. See PASSIVE ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM (PATS) SPECIFICATIONS  for applicable system.
• PATS Theft Indicator stays on for 2 or 3 seconds (depending on system type) at Ignition RUN or START and then off: This is normal operation for PATS proveout on all vehicles except LS and Thunderbird.
