It should start and run with the THEFTġ0. Ford provides an excellent document describing the different PATS control function types.

Insert the non programmed key in the ignition and turn to RUN.ģ. There is a different procedure to add a spare key.ġ. However here it is if you wish to try it, it will program a single key into the system. Ford has a process for this without a scan tool, I've tried it a few times and only had it work once so I now use a scan tool every time. The replacement keys now need to be encoded to the vehicle. Installation is done by reversing these same steps. There is a screw underneath and the tab on top.
As your's is already broken you just need to remove the remainder. Now you have access to the transponder module. Again this snaps on and the tabs like to break. With that cover off remove the upper steering column cover. Next is to carefully pull out on the trim cover above the column, This can be tricky as the plastic tends to get brittle.

If you want to bypaas the pats system you could buy a alarm pats module, use a relay to power it off of a ingition circuit that stays hot as long as key is on position. As you turn the key to the RUN or START position, the PATS control module initiates the key interrogation routine. On some late model vehicles, the PATS module is located behind the steering column shroud and contains an antenna connected to a small electronics module. When replacing the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) on a PATS-equipped vehicle, a parameter reset or relearn procedure must be performed after the PCM is installed.īesides, where is the Pats system on a Ford? One may also ask, what is Ford PATS system? Passive Anti-Theft Systems ( PATS), also called Ford Securilock, is a vehicle security feature introduced on 1996 and later Ford vehicles.
