Anyone have any problems with PATS? My 2006 will periodically lock me out from starting the car. It's definitely PATS. The dealer has replaced (or at least they said they did) the reader, still same problem. It's hard to correlate what causes the problem - but I think it is heat related. Once in a while I get the PATS symbol on the dash that the starting circuit is disabled and I cannot start the car. It is always after the car has sat in the sun for some time. If I wait until the day (and the car) cools off, it will start no problem. It is very intermittent but it causes me to not trust the new car I bought. The dealer cannot figure it out. I live in FL.
Any insight would be very welcome. How does PATS work? Wiring diagrams? etc.
Thanks.
