Front PATS Antenna

If the battery inside the passive key is weak, damaged or if excessive ambient radio frequency interference prevents communication between the RTM and the passive key, the backup starting passive key location in the center console storage compartment provides a secondary means for the BCM to validate the passive key and authorize the use of the vehicle. The front PATS antenna uses radio frequency to activate the passive key. Refer to: Passive Anti-Theft System (PATS) - Component Location - Vehicles With: Push Button Start.
