Fig. 1: Identifying Special Tool(s) Courtesy of FORD MOTOR CO. Principles of Operation The PATS uses a specially encoded ignition key. Each encoded ignition key contains a permanently installed electronic device called a transponder. Each transponder contains a unique electronic identification code out of over 18 billion, billion combinations. The passive anti-theft system (PATS), also known as SecuriLock(R), uses radio frequency identification technology to deter a drive-away theft. This system is known as SecuriLock(R) in North America, Safeguard(R) in the U.K., and PATS in Continental Europe. Passive means that it does not require any activity from the user. The SecuriLockr 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. If equipped the remote start system must be removed before investigation of PATS- related, no-start issues. Each encoded ignition key must be programmed into the vehicle's powertrain control (PCM) before it can be used to start the engine. There are special diagnostic repair procedures described in this section that must be carried out if a new encoded ignition key is necessary. This system contains a new feature named Unlimited Key Mode. This feature allows a customer to program more than eight keys to the vehicle if they request it. Each vehicle in Unlimited Key Mode is set up with a

special Unlimited Transponder Security Key. This allows all the customer vehicles to share the same keys, but no other keys from outside can be used to operate the vehicles. For an individual customer, any randomly selected Security Key is acceptable. Refer to Unlimited Key Mode Programming in KEY PROGRAMMING SWITCH STATE CONTROL . The PATS transceiver module communicates with the encoded ignition key. The module is located behind the steering column shroud and contains an antenna connected to a small electronics module. During each vehicle start sequence, the transceiver module reads the encoded ignition key identification code and sends data to the PCM. The control functions are contained in the PCM. This module carries out all of the PATS functions, such as receiving the identification code from the encoded ignition key and controlling the engine enable. The PCM initiates the key interrogation sequence when the vehicle ignition switch is turned to RUN or START. All elements of the PATS must be functional before the engine is allowed to start. If any of the components are not working correctly, the vehicle will not start. The PATS uses a visual theft indicator. The indicator will prove out for three seconds when the ignition switch is turned to RUN or START under normal operation. If there is a PATS concern, this indicator will either flash rapidly or glow steadily when the ignition switch is turned to RUN or START. The PATS system also flashes the theft indicator every two seconds at ignition OFF to act as a visual deterrent. The PATS will be activated and will disable the vehicle from starting if there is a: z incorrectly encoded ignition key z damaged encoded ignition key z unprogrammed key z non-encoded key (key has no electronics) z damaged wiring z damaged transceiver z damaged PCM Inspection and Verification 1. Verify the customer concern by operating the system. 2. Visually inspect for obvious signs of mechanical and electrical damage. VISUAL INSPECTION CHART Mechanical Electrical z Large metallic objects, a second ignition key on the same key ring as the PATS ignition key or electronic devices on the key chain that can be use to purchase gasoline or similar items z Central junction box (CJB) fuse 14 (5A) z Ignition lock cylinder z PATS transceiver module

3. If an obvious cause for an observed or reported concern is found, correct the cause (if possible) before proceeding to the next step. 4. If the diagnostic tool does not power up, refer to the diagnostic tool manual. 5. Carry out the DATA LINK DIAGNOSTICS test. If the diagnostic tool responds with: z CKT914, CKT 693, CKT915 or CKT70 = ALL ECUS NO RESP/NOT EQUIP, refer to MODULE COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK . z NO RESP/NOT EQUIP for BSM, refer to MULTIFUNCTION ELECTRONIC MODULE . z SYSTEM PASSED, retrieve and record the continuous diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs), erase the continuous DTCs, and carry out the self-test diagnostics for the PCM. 6. If the DTCs retrieved are related to the concern, go to the POWERTRAIN ELECTRONIC CONTROL DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) INDEX . 7. If no DTCs related to the concern are retrieved, proceed to the SYMPTOM CHART to continue diagnostics.
