No Start after Programming? Don’t Panic!
In some vehicles equipped with the Passive Anti-Theft System or PATS, once the MAX
MicroTuner begins saving the factory stock program, the THEFT light begins blinking
rapidly and may even blink in short and long pulses to alert the user to a problem. Since
the Superchips MAX MicroTuner is communicating directly with the PCM, no other devices
may interrupt. As a result, the PATS module flags this as an error or theft condition and
goes into ‘THEFT’ mode. After the MAX MicroTuner has completed the programming
cycle, the PCM is still fully able to communicate and appears normal. However, the vehicle
may be in a No Start Condition and the THEFT light will be blinking rapidly.

Corrective Procedure
This procedure should recover the vehicle and allow it to be started. Therefore, it is
recommended that the MAX MicroTuner programming cycle be completed prior to
recovery. i.e. The user should allow the MAX MicroTuner to upload the stock program and
should select their choice of performance files and any user options, if available. Following
instructions, they should complete the programming process.
