Test F: DTC B1213-Anti-Theft Number of Programmed Keys Is Below Minimum
PINPOINT TEST F: DTC B1213-ANTI-THEFT NUMBER OF PROGRAMMED KEYS IS BELOW MINIMUMF1-F4:
Normal Operation
The passive anti-theft system (PATS) transceiver module communicates with the PATS key. During each vehicle start sequence, the PATS transceiver module reads the PATS key identification code and sends the data to the powertrain control module (PCM). The control functions are contained in the PCM. This module carries out all of the PATS functions, such as receiving the identification code from the PATS key and controlling engine enable. The PCM initiates the key interrogation sequence when the key is turned to ON or START.
Possible Causes
- less than 2 keys programmed to the system
- PATS transceiver
- unprogrammed PATS key
