Description
The Passive Anti-Theft System (PATS) uses a visual anti-theft indicator located in the Instrument Cluster (IC). This indicator proves out for 3 seconds when the key is turned to the ON or START position under normal operation. 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 START position. PATS will also flash the anti-theft indicator every 2 seconds at key off to act as a visual theft deterrent. The anti-theft indicator operation is controlled by the IC. Note: If DTCs U2510 and U2511 are both present, address DTC U2510 first.
