Pinpoint Test B: DTC B10D7:81 Or B10D7:94
Anti-Theft - Without Intelligent Access (IA)
Pinpoint Test B: DTC B10D7:81 or B10D7:94
Normal Operation
When the ignition is turned to the RUN or START position, the Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) activates the transceiver to read the key in the ignition. If the IPC (Instrument Panel Cluster) does not receive a PATS (Passive Anti-Theft System) key code or if the code is invalid, PATS (Passive Anti-Theft System) is disabled and the engine does not start.
- DTC B10D7:81 (PATS (Passive Anti-Theft System) Key: Invalid Serial Data Received)- a continuous and on-demand DTC that sets when there is a partial or corrupt PATS (Passive Anti-Theft System) key read.
- DTC B10D7:94 (PATS (Passive Anti-Theft System) Key: Unexpected Operation)- a continuous and on-demand DTC that sets when there is no PATS (Passive Anti-Theft System) key read. This DTC sets if a non-PATS (Passive Anti-Theft System) key is used to turn the ignition on.
This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:
- PATS (Passive Anti-Theft System) key
- PATS (Passive Anti-Theft System) transceiver
PINPOINT TEST B : DTC B10D7:81 OR B10D7:94
NOTE: Large metallic objects or electronic devices on the key ring that can be used to purchase gasoline or similar items, or a second key on the same key ring as the PATS (Passive Anti-Theft System) key can cause vehicle starting concerns and record DTCs under certain conditions. If a fault cannot be identified, examine the customer key ring for such objects or devices. If present, inform the customer that they need to keep these objects from touching the PATS (Passive Anti-Theft System) key while starting the engine. These objects and devices cannot damage the PATS (Passive Anti-Theft System) key, but can cause a momentary concern if they are too close to the key during engine start. If a concern occurs, turn the ignition off and restart the engine with all other objects on the key ring held away from the ignition key.
NOTE: Aftermarket or dealer-installed remote start systems may adversely affect the PATS (Passive Anti-Theft System) operation. Disconnect these systems before diagnosing any PATS (Passive Anti-Theft System) concerns.
B1 CHECK THE PATS (Passive Anti-Theft System) KEYS
- Verify the correct PATS (Passive Anti-Theft System) keys are used with the vehicle. Compare the keys with the one shown in Anti-Theft Description and Operation in the Description and Operation portion.
Are the correct keys being used?
Yes
GO to B2.
No
OBTAIN the correct key(s) for the vehicle. PROGRAM the new key(s). REFER to Key Programming - Program a Key Using Two Programmed Keys Key Programming Using Two Programmed Keys or Key Programming Using Diagnostic Equipment Key Programming Using Diagnostic Equipment. CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test.
B2 ISOLATE THE PATS (Passive Anti-Theft System) KEYS
- NOTE: Follow this procedure using both PATS (Passive Anti-Theft System) keys (using one at a time).
Place a PATS (Passive Anti-Theft System) key in the ignition and turn to the RUN position.
- Enter the following diagnostic mode on the scan tool: Clear IPC (Instrument Panel Cluster) Continuous DTCs.
- Cycle the ignition from RUN to OFF and then back to the RUN position.
- Enter the following diagnostic mode on the scan tool: BCM (Body Control Module) Self-Test.
Is DTC B10D7:81 or B10D7:94 retrieved for both keys?
Yes
INSTALL a new PATS (Passive Anti-Theft System) transceiver. REFER to Passive Anti-Theft System (PATS) Transceiver Anti-Theft - Passive Anti-Theft System (PATS) - Transceiver. CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test.
No
DISCARD the key in question and PROGRAM a new key. REFER to Key Programming - Program a Key Using Two Programmed Keys Key Programming Using Two Programmed Keys or Key Programming Using Diagnostic Equipment Key Programming Using Diagnostic Equipment. CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test.
