NOTE:
The anti-theft security access procedure is used to obtain passive anti-theft system (PATS) security access. PATS security access must be granted to reset parameters in the instrument cluster (IC) and PCM, erase ignition key codes, program ignition key codes, program spare keys, enable/disable the unlimited key mode, set the unlimited transponder key ID and enable/disable the spare key programming switch (SPAREKEY PID). The anti-theft security access procedure invokes a 10-minute time delay prior to granting security access, during which the scan tool must remain connected to the vehicle. Once security access is granted, a security access command menu is displayed, which offers various command options.
