PATS Passive Anti-Theft System

[Francis2002]

Hello all!

Just came back from Canada and drove to Rotterdam to get my second db9. This one is called kick in the butt. It will serve as a donner car for my submarine car I started stripping last month.

This heavily damaged to the rear end car will donate all of it's interior parts as well as the electronics and wire loom.

So I would love to get it starting before anything but I am stumbling on the PATS when I try to start the car.

The engine turns over but does not start.

First, is this a PATS situation? Or would it not even turn over?

I do get the red light indicating PATS as well as a written message.

Since the battery was dead on arrival, could this have triggered the PATS?

Is there a procedure to make this go away?

Of a different nature, how are these tye-raps called and where can I buy new ones outside the AML dealer?

Are you sure you can't just pull the end of the tie-wrap part through the slot in the main body with long-nose pliers (or the like), trim off the cut stub and just thread a conventional cable tie back through the now-empty slot? Then you can reuse the main moulding that goes onto the weld stud. Just an idea from looking as the pictures.

Other than that, a Google search for "cable ties for studs" seemed to bring up a number of options, as did the same search term in eBay.

As an aside, you might have been better off starting a new thread as I, for one at least, don't see the connection between a PATS query and replacements for broken or cut cable-ties
