ANTI-THEFT SECURITY ACCESS


Worldwide Diagnostic System (WDS):






SPECIAL TOOL(S)

NOTE:
- The Security Access Procedure is used to obtain passive anti-theft system (PATS) security access. PATS security access must be granted to erase ignition keys, enable/disable the spare key programming switch (PID SPARE_KY) or perform a parameter reset for PATS, and may be required to program ignition keys. The Security Access Procedure invokes an inherent 10-minute time delay prior to granting security access during which the diagnostic tool must remain connected to the vehicle. Once security access has been granted, a security access command menu is displayed which offers various command options (refer to PATS Configuration Command Index).
- Select only the command required by the appropriate pinpoint test.

1. From diagnostic tool: Using service card, select PATS. Enter SECURITY ACCESS PROCEDURE. This procedure will take 10 minutes to perform, during which the ignition switch must be in the RUN position and the diagnostic tool must be connected to the vehicle.

2. After the 10-minute security access procedure has been completed, a new menu will be displayed with command options. Select only those functions required before exiting out of the menu. Once you have exited from the menu, the security access procedure must be performed again to display a new menu with the command options.
