Pinpoint Test AB: The Anti-Theft Indicator Is Never/Always On

Normal Operation

On vehicles not equipped with Intelligent Access (IA), the anti-theft indicator is controlled by the Passive Anti-Theft System (PATS) housed in the Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC). On vehicles equipped with IA, the anti-theft indicator is controlled by the IPC based on a PATS message sent from the Remote Function Actuator (RFA) module.

This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:

- PATS concern
- IPC
