Test B: The Anti-Theft System Does Not Operate Correctly - Anti-Theft Number Of Programmed Keys Is Below Minimum

PINPOINT TEST B: THE ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM DOES NOT OPERATE CORRECTLY - ANTI-THEFT NUMBER OF PROGRAMMED KEYS IS BELOW MINIMUM

Test B1-B3:

Normal Operation
The transceiver module communicates with the passive anti-theft system (PATS) key. During each vehicle start sequence, the transceiver module reads the PATS key identification code and circuit 1216 sends the data to the powertrain control module (PCM). The control functions are contained in the PCM. The PCM carries out all of the PATS functions such as receiving the identification code from the PATS key and controlling engine enable. The PCM initiates the key interrogation sequence when the key is turned to the ON or START position.

Possible Causes
- less than 2 keys programed to the system
- PATS transceiver
- unprogrammed PATS key
- PCM
