Alarm System Transmitter: Service and Repair




Passive Anti-Theft System (PATS) Transceiver









Removal and Installation

1. Remove the ignition lock cylinder.

2. NOTE: If necessary, use a suitable tool to gently pry the 2 locking tabs outward far enough to release the transceiver from the steering column.

Disconnect the electrical connector and remove the Passive Anti-Theft System (PATS) transceiver.

3. NOTE: Replacement of the PATS transceiver does not require the PATS keys to be programmed into the PCM again.
To install, reverse the removal procedure.
