There is no way to bypass this system. You will need to have the vehicle plugged into a diagnostic computer to locate the cause of the fault. Try a spare key if you have one !
ANTI-THEFT - PASSIVE
The passive anti-theft system (PATS) contains the following components:
THEFT indicator
encoded ignition key
PATS transceiver module
powertrain control module (PCM)
The passive anti-theft system (PATS), also known as SecuriLock (R), uses radio frequency identification technology to deter a driveway theft. This system is known as SecuriLock (R) in North America, Safeguard in the U.K, and PATS in Continental Europe. Passive means that it does not require any activity from the user.
The SecuriLock(R) System (PATS) is not compatible with aftermarket remote start systems, which allow the vehicle to be started from outside the vehicle. These systems may reduce the vehicle security level, and also may cause no-start issues. Remote start systems must be removed before investigation of PATS- related no start issues.
