Passive Anti-Theft System (PATS) Transceiver Is behind the steering column shroud . It's around where the ignition lock cylinder is ! There is no PATS module ! The PATS function is controlled by the instrument cluster. The PATS uses the instrument cluster to carry out all of the PATS functions such as receiving the identification code from the PATS key, issuing a signal to the PCM to control the starter and fuel injectors enable, and initiates the key interrogation sequence when the ignition key is turned to the ON or START position. Because of the interaction between the instrument cluster and the PCM, there are parameters that must be reset if the instrument cluster or the PCM (or both) is replaced. For additional information, refer to Passive Anti-Theft System (PATS) Parameter Reset in this section. If the instrument cluster must be replaced for any reason (PATS concerns or instrument cluster concerns), the PATS keys also must be programmed into the new instrument cluster. For additional information, refer to Key Programming Using Diagnostic Equipment in this section. All elements of PATS must be functional before the vehicle will start. If any of the components are not working correctly, the vehicle will not start. Your best bet , take it to the dealer !
