Welcome to our world....Unfortunately the PATS system is gonna require a dealership visit.
There is a possibility that the PATS key you have has been internally damaged,and another key would work fine,but its a longshot.

A well equipped locksmith may be able to help you out.

If the issue is a bad key, or if the system has it's memory scrambled, a locksmith may be able reprogram the system.

If the system has a hardware failure, then it's dealer time....
