Security Access Procedure

NOTE:
- The Security Access Procedure is utilized to obtain Passive Anti-Theft System (PATS) security access. PATS security access must be granted to erase ignition keys, enable/disable the spare key programming switch, or perform parameter resets may be required to program ignition keys. The Security Access Procedure invokes an inherent 10 minute time delay prior to granting security access during which the New Generation STAR Tester/(NGS/SBDS) must remain connected to the vehicle. Once security access has been granted, a security access command menu is displayed which offers various ignition key program, ignition key erase, and configuration command options (refer to PATS Configuration Command Index).
- Select only the commands require by the appropriate Pinpoint Test.

1. From the New Configuration Function Card/SBDS: Enter PATS then enter SECURITY ACCESS PROCEDURE. This procedure will take 10 minutes to perform, during which the ignition switch must be in RUN and the NGS/SBDS must be connected to the vehicle.
2. After the 10 minute security access procedure has been completed, a new menu will be displayed with configuration and clearing options. Select only those functions required before exiting out of this menu. Once exited out of this menu, the security access procedure must be performed again before any further configuration and clearing can take place.
