AND I discovered the vehicle will let me reprogram my keys to a new PATS module myself, with some key on/key off sequences and a lot of waiting. Cha-ching! No dealer involvement! Now if I could just find the problem first!
Don't get too excited yet. To program new keys with that procedure, you need to have 2 programmed keys. If you have 2 "good" keys, you can program a third, fourth... If you only have one good key and need another, you still need a dealer or locksmith.
If you install a new PATS module, you'll need the dealer to set up the keys.
