Hi everyone.
Something strange happened to me earlier this week.
I got into my truck to move it in the driveway. It started up just fine.
Later when I tried to move it again... nothing.
Theft light is flashing and gives me code 11. From what I could find so far this code shows up when the transceiver isn't communicating with the PATS module.
It seems that broken wiring is a likely potential culprit.
I'm looking to just buy a transceiver and replace mine. When I called the dealer ship they told me that the system has to be reprogrammed when replacing the part.
Is this true, or is the transceiver just an antenna? Does anyone have experience with this?
I know that the system has to be reprogrammed when either of the control modules is replaced, but couldn't find any info on the transceiver.
So my question is. Can I just swap out the transceiver, or will I have to get the system re-programmed after changing it?
Thanks a lot for any advice.
Olivier
