Instrumentation, Message Center and Warning Chimes

Pinpoint Test AB: The Anti-Theft Indicator Is Never/Always On

Normal Operation

On vehicles not equipped with Intelligent Access (IA), the anti-theft indicator is controlled by the Passive Anti-Theft System (PATS) housed in the Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC). On vehicles equipped with IA (Intelligent Access), the anti-theft indicator is controlled by the IPC (Instrument Panel Cluster) based on a PATS (Passive Anti-Theft System) message sent from the Remote Function Actuator (RFA) module.

This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:

- PATS (Passive Anti-Theft System) concern

- IPC (Instrument Panel Cluster)

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

AB1 CARRY OUT THE IPC (Instrument Panel Cluster) ANTI-THEFT INDICATOR ACTIVE COMMAND USING THE SCAN TOOL

- Ignition ON.

- Enter the following diagnostic mode on the scan tool: IPC (Instrument Panel Cluster) DataLogger.

- Select the IPC (Instrument Panel Cluster) anti-theft indicator (THEFT_LMP) active command. Command the anti-theft indicator on and off while observing the anti-theft indicator.

Does the anti-theft indicator illuminate when commanded on and turn off when commanded off?

Yes
For vehicles without IA (Intelligent Access), GO to AB2.

For vehicles with IA (Intelligent Access), GO to AB3.

No
INSTALL a new IPC (Instrument Panel Cluster). REFER to Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) Service and Repair. TEST the system for normal operation.

AB2 RETRIEVE THE RECORDED DTCs FROM THE CONTINUOUS IPC (Instrument Panel Cluster) SELF-TEST

- Check for recorded IPC (Instrument Panel Cluster) DTCs from the continuous self-test.

Are any PATS (Passive Anti-Theft System) -related DTCs recorded?

Yes
REFER to Antitheft and Alarm Systems.

No
INSTALL a new IPC (Instrument Panel Cluster). REFER to Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) Service and Repair. TEST the system for normal operation.

AB3 RETRIEVE THE RECORDED DTCs FROM THE CONTINUOUS RFA (Remote Function Actuator) MODULE SELF-TEST

- Check for recorded RFA (Remote Function Actuator) module DTCs from the continuous self-test.

Are any PATS (Passive Anti-Theft System) -related DTCs recorded?

Yes
REFER to Antitheft and Alarm Systems.

No
GO to AB4.

AB4 RETRIEVE THE RECORDED DTCs FROM THE CONTINUOUS IPC (Instrument Panel Cluster) SELF-TEST

- Check for recorded IPC (Instrument Panel Cluster) DTCs from the continuous self-test.

Is DTC U0214:00 recorded?

Yes
GO to Pinpoint Test AS Pinpoint Test AS: DTC U0214:00.

No
