What is a passive anti-theft transceiver?
The PATS uses radio frequency identification technology to deter a driveaway theft. Passive means that it does not require any activity from the user. This system is known as SecuriLock in North America, Safeguard in the U.K. and PATS in continental Europe. This information can be found in owners literature.
What happens if you replace the transceiver on a Ford?
Replace transceiver. ECU is defective (EEPROM in PCM is not working — replace PCM). PATS related when stored in PCM only. Non-PATS Key or damaged key. Unprogrammed encoded ignition key detected (leave ignition on for 20 seconds before trying a programmed key, in Anti-Scan Mode).
How to replace Ford Pats control function type E keys?
Replacing PCM only — E type PATS If only the PCM is being replaced on a PATS control function type E vehicle, two keys need to be programmed into the PCM. This requires a scan tool with capability to program PATS type E keys, or a CARDONE Flash2 All-Makes Reprogrammer with Ford license and subscription to www.motorcraftservice.com.
What are the trouble codes for Ford Pats?
Most of the PATS trouble codes are body “B” or data “U” type codes. You must have a code reader that can read these codes. Repairing a PATS system is NOT hard. B1213 Less than 2 (or 3 if equipped w/Valet key) keys programmed to the system. B1232/B2103 Transceiver internal antenna damaged. Replace transceiver.
