Test B: Passive Anti-Theft System (Pats) Module Does Not Respond To NGS Tester
- Turn ignition off. Disconnect PATS module 16-pin connector C217 located behind left side of instrument panel, left of steering column. Inspect connector for loose, damaged or corroded terminals. Repair connector as necessary and retest system for normal operation. If connector is okay, go to next step.
- Measure resistance of Tan/Orange wire between terminal No. 6 at PATS module connector C217 and terminal No. 2 at DLC. See Figure
and Fig 1
. Also, measure resistance of Pink/Light Blue wire between terminal No. 5 at PATS module connector C217 and terminal No. 10 at DLC. If both resistance readings are less than 5 ohms, replace PATS module and retest system for normal operation. If any resistance reading is 5 ohms or more, repair open Tan/Orange wire and/or Pink/Light Blue wire between PATS module connector C217 and DLC.
