The Anti-Theft PCM carries out all of the PATS functions such as Anti-Theft — Passive Anti-Theft System receiving the identification code from the PATS key (PATS) and controlling the starter enable signal. The PCM initiates the key interrogation sequence when the The PATS uses radio frequency identification PATS key is inserted in the ignition switch and technology to deter a driveaway theft.

PATS security access must be granted to erase ignition keys, enable/disable unlimted key mode, and enable/disable the spare key programming switch PID. The security access procedure invokes an inherent 10-minute time delay prior to granting security access during which the diagnostic tool must remain connected to the vehicle. Once security access is granted, a security access command menu is displayed which offers various command options. NOTE: Once security access is granted, multiple security access commands should be executed (if necessary) prior to exiting the command menu. This prevents the need for an additional security access procedure and the associated 10-minute time delay. Copyright  2005, Ford Motor Company Last updated: 06/30/2005 2006 Ranger, 9/2005
