No start. Cel. Theft light

Well I went to have a guy at work scan my truck to see why my o/d light is flashing

His scanner wouldn't connect so I unhooked my ts chip still wouldn't after that

Now with the chip unplugged. I can't start with it on I can't start

My cel is on and my theft light just blicks

My wait to start never comes on but my glow plugs do start up and warm up

All I have is cranking but that's it

Any ideas?

Did you disconnect the battery before you removed chip?

Kind of wondering if the pats system won't agree with my key now?

But I'm stuck here at work till my wife brings my spare key to try but i don't get the cel. I have power to my obd2 but it keeps reading error

Edit I unplugged the pats Module. But cel is on and still just cranks

PATS relearn is required.

*THEFT LIGHT (on Excursions) - If the theft light flashes rapidly and the vehicle won't start, the Passive Anti-theft system (PATS) will need to be reset. To reset the*PATS, perform the following steps:

Turn the key on, but do not attempt to start the vehicle.Wait for the theft light to quit flashing rapidly. This should take about 45 seconds, after which the THEFT light will flash multiple times about every 3 seconds.Turn the key off and remove the key from the ignition for 30 seconds.Insert the key and turn the ignition to the ON position.The THEFT light should illuminate for about 5 seconds and then go out.PATS*System should now be resetYou should be able to start your vehicle normally

Oops. Spoke too soon. No Wait To Start light isn't PATS related.
