Passive Anti-Theft System (PATS) Transceiver

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

The PATS transceiver is located under the steering column shroud and communicates with the encoded ignition key. During each vehicle start sequence, the PATS transceiver reads the encoded ignition key identification code and sends data to the IPC. The IPC validates the code, and if it is the correct code, sends a message to the PCM to ground the starter relay solenoid coil and to also allow the fuel injectors to operate.
