PATS key replacement.
Hi all, would a weak battery prevent a locksmith from programming a new PATS key on a 2000 Expy?

Maybe. A "weak" battery can cause a lot of different problems.

My general rule of thumb is to fix the obvious problems first. A stable and adequate power supply is always needed.
