Refer to Wiring Diagrams Cell 112 for schematic and connector information.
Normal Operation and Fault Conditions
REFER to: Passive Anti-Theft System (PATS) - System Operation and
Component Description (419-01C Passive Anti-Theft System (PATS) -
Vehicles With: Keyless Entry and Push Button Start, Description and
Operation).
The RFA module supplies voltage to the PATS transceiver. If the RFA module does not detect a passive key from the PATS antennas, it activates the PATS transceiver as a backup to try and detect a programmed passive key. The RFA module also activates the PATS transceiver for key programming procedures. The RFA module starts the key interrogation sequence by supplying voltage to the transceiver. Once the PATS transceiver is powered up, the RFA module generates a signal to the transceiver on the transmit circuit. When the transceiver receives the signal from the RFA module, it reads the PATS key and generates a challenge response to the RFA module signal and sends this response on the receive circuit.
