When you start from scratch with differing PCM or PATS module, it has to be reprogrammed.
Each start of the engine requires the matching(programmed) PCM, PATS, and key code.
I would like to ask a PCM programmer about using a tune(program) which disables the PATS. That is a common parameter that programmers can do. I wonder if it would let a person skip the programming step if the program was reflashed to begin with, with the PATS disabled.
You could ask James that, if you might choose to buy a flasher as well. The PATS didn't cost me anything with my dealer friend, but some places charge way too much.
