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 light sensor. This indicator proves out for 3 seconds when the key is turned to the ON or START position. The central junction box (CJB) fuse 4 (10A) provides voltage on circuit 905 (VT/LB) to the light sensor/theft indicator and circuit 1269 (OG/RD) is the ground circuit that is grounded by the PCM. If there is a PATS concern, this indicator either flashes rapidly or glows steadily (for more than 3 seconds) when the key is turned to the ON or the START position. PATS also flashes the anti-theft indicator every 2 seconds at key off to act as a visual theft deterrent.

This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:
- Fuse
- Anti-theft indicator
- Wiring, terminals or connectors
- PCM
