I believe that when the PATS theft light is blinking RAPIDLY it is because you are trying to start the car with a non-PATS coded key.

If it is blinking every couple of seconds SLOWLY, it just means the system is monitoring the ignition.

That depends on when it's blinking. If it's blinking rapidly when you turn the key on, there is a problem in the anti-theft, and the truck probably won't start. If it's blinking every 3 seconds when the key is off, that is a normal condition. It's telling you that the system is armed and ready.

This is just to deter theft. Whether or not your car came with an optional anti-theft system, the light will still be there, simulating a anti-theft system. It's just a light-emitting diode, so it doesn't have enough draw to drain the battery.
