Passive Anti-theft System (PATS)

This vehicle may be equipped with 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.
