If it just died and will not even turn over while the battery is still good, I suspect the PATS system at fault. Although the battery could still be the problem. Check the voltage when you try to start it. If the volts drops off, you have a bad cell in the battery and will not put out high amps.

If it is the PATS system, you probably need to take it to a dealer for diagnostics.
