Yes, you can disable pats. However, doing so may cause your vehicle to become inoperable. Pats stands for passive anti-theft system and is designed to deter thieves from stealing your car. If you disable pats, your car will not start without the key that has the transponder chip in it. This means that if you lose your key or it is stolen, you will not be able to start your car. Additionally, if you are in an accident and require a tow truck, the tow truck driver will not be able to start your car without the key. Therefore, it is generally not recommended to disable pats.
