There are several revisions of PATS.  I've heard the original with the
separate PATS module has been defeated, by injecting an appropriate
signal (60Hz is what I recall) in between the module and the engine
computer.  I haven't heard anything about the later ones (which are
integrated into the engine computer), but then, I haven't been paying
attention either.
