Anti-Theft Indicator

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.

PATS  uses a visual anti-theft indicator located in the IC  . The anti-theft indicator proves out for 3 seconds when the ignition key is in the ON or START position under normal operation. If there is a PATS  concern, this indicator either flashes rapidly or glows steadily when the ignition key is turned to the ON or START position. PATS  also flashes the anti-theft indicator every 2 seconds when the ignition key is in the OFF position to act as a visual theft deterrent. Retrieve DTCs from the IC  and the TCM  to determine if there are any PATS  -related DTCs that can indicate the cause of the no-start. GO to SYMPTOM CHART  in this service information.

PATS  is active only for a few seconds when the vehicle is starting. It is not a PATS  concern if the vehicle stalls after it has been running for a minimum of 3 seconds. PATS  cannot disable a running vehicle.

A PATS  no-start can involve a vehicle no-start due to the Electronically Controlled Continuously Variable Transmission (eCVT) not cranking the engine or allowing electric drive. If the PATS  anti-theft indicator does not prove out and one (or both) of the previous conditions are present, it can be due to a PATS  concern. If the anti-theft indicator proves out, and the vehicle does not start, it is probably not a PATS  concern. Refer to the INTRODUCTION article. If the anti-theft indicator does not illuminate at all, it can be an IC  concern.
