Working on PATS system

I was hoping I could get past that by getting a key, Halo and computer from the exact make and model with the exact same features.

Thank goodness I grabbed the instrument cluster just in case. I haven't installed that yet, just the pcm and transponder with the new ignition and key and was still getting the 016 (bad reading to pcm) code. In theory then, I install the cluster from the donor and that should go away correct?

The transponder was busted, the metal contract that was in there was snapped off. The clock spring was a mistake, I was pulling the steering wheel to get the whole wiring harness cause the wire to the contact that was busted is connected to a small harness that also goes to the clock spring.

Thank you, I replaced the cluster and Bam, the PATS they light is not giving me a bad reading anymore. Now I have a crank and no start, acting like it's not getting spark. Can't be a fuel problem because I can hear the fuel pump kick on and I dumped fuel directly into the throttle body but still didn't fire. Now I gotta figure out what causing it to not fire. I should add, I got this truck a year ago all in boxes. I built it from the ground up so there are going to be little issues to work out to finish it. It's come along way from a frame with boxes of parts and a disassembled motor.

As stated above, you now have to have a dealer program the system and two keys.
The PATS, KEYS, Dash and PCM all have to end up communicating with each other.
Until that happens the PCM disables fuel injection..
The Theft system is very difficult to defeat which is the point of having such a system.
Good luck.

If you have spark, it should fire if you use starting fluid. To properly test spark, you need an inline spark tester that connects between the coil and plug. You can use a fuel pressure gauge on the Schrader valve on the fuel rail to see if you have enough fuel pressure, and noid lights to see if the injectors are pulsing.
