Test D: Passive Anti-Theft System (Pats) Module Does Not Respond To NGS Tester
- Turn ignition off. Disconnect PATS module 16-pin connector C242. See Figure. 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 C242 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 C242 and terminal No. 10 at DLC. If both resistance readings are less than 5 ohms, replace PATS module. Retest system for normal operation. If any resistance reading is 5 ohms or more, repair open in Tan/Orange wire and/or Light Blue/White wire between PATS module connector C242 and DLC. Retest system for normal operation.
