PINPOINT TEST E : The Engine Does Not Start: Notes

Diagnostic Overview 

The Engine Does Not Start 

Normal Operations and Fault Conditions 

The PATS disables the engine from starting by disabling the fuel injectors and starter. When the ignition is turned to the RUN or START position, the PATS reads the PATS key and checks the PCM identification. If an unprogrammed PATS key is used or an invalid PCM identification is received, the PATS disables the engine. If there is a PATS concern that caused the engine to be disabled, STARTING SYSTEM FAULT is displayed in the message center.
