The PATS control module is a standalone module located behind the dash on the left side. The PATS control module is NOT a standalone module. Must have two programmed keys in the control module to allow vehicle starting.

If the key code is valid, the PATS control module also grounds the control coil in the starter relay, which moves the contacts and sends power to the starter motor solenoid PATS System B Some vehicles also include a starter relay. The PCM then allow the fuel pump and injectors. If it is, the control module sends a validation signal to the PCM via the Vehicle Communication Network (SCP). Within that 1 second period, the PATS Control Module must determines if the key code is valid. The transceiver sends the key code signal via a hardwired connection to the control module.Īt each start sequence, the PCM power the fuel pump and injectors until the engine runs for 1 second. Only 1 key needs to be programmed for the system to work. When you turn the key to RUN/START, the theft warning light turns on for 2-seconds.

The PATS control is a stand alone module.
