Diagnostic Overview

The Engine Does Not Start

Normal Operations and Fault Conditions

The PATS (Passive Anti-Theft System) disables the engine from starting by disabling the fuel injectors and starter. When the ignition is turned to the RUN or START position, the PATS (Passive Anti-Theft System) reads the PATS (Passive Anti-Theft System) key and checks the PCM (Powertrain Control Module) identification. If an unprogrammed PATS (Passive Anti-Theft System) key is used or an invalid PCM (Powertrain Control Module) identification is received, the PATS (Passive Anti-Theft System) disables the engine. If there is a PATS (Passive Anti-Theft System) concern that caused the engine to be disabled, STARTING SYSTEM FAULT is displayed in the message center.

To ensure the most accurate service information, portions of this procedure are under development and may not be immediately available at vehicle introduction.
