Test F: the Anti-Theft Indicator Is Always/Never on

PINPOINT TEST F: THE ANTI-THEFT INDICATOR IS ALWAYS/NEVER ON

Normal Operation
The passive anti-theft system (PATS) uses a visual anti-theft indicator located in the autolamp/sunload sensor. This indicator proves out for 3 seconds when the key is turned to ON or START. If there is a PATS issue, this indicator either flashes rapidly or glows steadily (for more than 3 seconds) when the key is turned to ON or START. PATS also flashes the anti-theft indicator every 2 seconds at ignition OFF to act as a visual theft deterrent.

This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:
- Fuse
- Wiring, terminals or connectors
- Anti-theft indicator
- Instrument cluster (IC)
