PATS Rear Antenna

NOTE: Some brands/types of mobile phone or laptop computer chargers may cause interference that could lead to a PATS concern if the passive key is within a few inches of the charger and the No Key Detected message displays in the message center. If a concern is observed, move the passive key away from the charger and attempt to transition the ignition on.

The PATS rear antenna is monitored and activated from the BCM. It is located along the roof line of the vehicle.

A valid programmed passive key must be within the passenger compartment for the PATS to detect the passive key and allow the ignition to transition out of OFF.

If a passive key is placed in the far outside edges of the interior, such as above a sun visor or in a door map pocket, the vehicle can experience a PATS concern. If the passive key is located in one of these areas and there is a PATS concern, move the passive key out of the area and attempt to transition the ignition on. If the key is outside the range of the PATS center antenna, the PATS rear antenna and the keyless entry rear antenna when the START/STOP button is pressed, the No Key Detected message displays in the message center.
