ISSUE
A vehicle equipped with Passive Anti-Theft System
(PATS) may not start or crank. This may be caused
by several different items.
ACTION
Refer to the following PATS Diagnostic Charts and
text for tips on servicing customer PATS concerns.
Glossary Of Terms
• PATS - Passive Anti-Theft System
• HEC - Hybrid Electronic Cluster
• VIC - Virtual Image Cluster
• ICM - Instrument Cluster Module
• SCIL - Steering Column Ignition Lighting
• CJB - Central Junction Box
NOTE
ERASING AND REPROGRAMMING THE
CUSTOMER’S IGNITION KEYS DOES NOT CURE
ANY KNOWN INTERMITTENT PATS NO START
ISSUE. DO NOT SIMPLY REPROGRAM THE
IGNITION KEYS IF A FAULT CANNOT BE
IDENTIFIED.
NOTE
THE ONLY FORD QUALIFIED PATS KEYS ARE
THOSE MANUFACTURED BY: FORD ROTUNDA,

ONLY FORD ROTUNDA KEYS ARE QUALIFIED PROPERLY READING IGNITION KEYS DURING
FOR THE FOLLOWING PROGRAMS: KEY PROGRAMMING. REMOVE OR DISABLE
• 2000 AND 2001 TAURUS/SABLE
• 2001 WINDSTAR
• 2001 EXPLORER SPORT (BUILT AFTER JULY
24, 2000)
• 2001 EXPLORER SPORT TRAC (BUILT AFTER
JULY 24, 2000)
• 2001 RANGER (3.0L AND 4.0L)
• 2001 ESCAPE
• 2002 EXPLORER CONDITION AND THE NEED FOR FURTHER
OTHER AFTERMARKET KEYS ARE NOT FORD
QUALIFIED AND CAN CAUSE PATS ISSUES. NOTE
NOTE
DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) P1260 IN
THE POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE (PCM) IS
A DIRECTION TO RETRIEVE FAULT CODES NOTE
FROM PATS. RETRIEVE FAULT CODES FROM
THE APPROPRIATE PATS FUNCTION
(PATS/HEC/VIC/ICM/SCIL) AND FOLLOW THOSE
PINPOINT PROCEDURES BEFORE ANY
FURTHER PCM DIAGNOSIS.
NOTE
VEHICLES WITH PATS TYPE A, B, OR C SEND NOTE
AN ENABLE MESSAGE TO THE PCM IF THE
PROPER CONDITIONS ARE MET. THE PCM
THEN ALLOWS FUEL INJECTOR AND FUEL
PUMP OPERATION. THE PROPER CONDITIONS
ARE: 1) A VALID KEY READ FOR PATS TYPES
A, B, AND C, AND 2) PROPER PATS-PCM
INITIALIZATION FOR PATS TYPES B AND C.
REFER TO CHART FOR DETAILS ON THE
REQUIRED INITIALIZATION.
NOTE
SOME VEHICLES WITH PATS TYPE B OR C
MAY INCLUDE A STARTER INTERRUPT (SI).
THESE VEHICLES DO NOT NECESSARILY HAVE
TO EXHIBIT A NO CRANK SITUATION TO
CONSTITUTE A PATS RELATED NO START.
NOTE
CHECK FOR A REMOTE VEHICLE STARTER
AND REMOVE ANY SUCH EQUIPMENT FROM
THE VEHICLE BEFORE CONTINUING
DIAGNOSIS.
NOTE
SOME AFTERMARKET AUDIO EQUIPMENT HAS
BEEN FOUND TO KEEP THE RUN/START
CIRCUIT ACTIVE FOR OVER 5 SECONDS PAST
IGNITION OFF. THIS CAN PREVENT PATS FROM
THIS AFTERMARKET EQUIPMENT IF PROBLEMS
WITH ANY KEY PROGRAMMING SEQUENCE
OCCUR.
NOTE
WHEN USING THE SERVICE CARD, SELECT
ONLY THE FUNCTIONS MENTIONED WITH THE
PROCEDURE. SELECTING INCORRECT
FUNCTIONS (OR ADDITIONAL UNCALLED FOR
FUNCTIONS) MAY RESULT IN A NO START
DIAGNOSIS AND REPAIR.
REPROGRAMMING OF THE PCM DOES NOT
HAVE ANY IMPACT ON PATS IF THE
PROCEDURE FUNCTIONS AS INTENDED.
IF THE VEHICLE DOES NOT START AND THERE
IS NORMAL PROVE-OUT OF THE THEFT
INDICATOR AND DTC P1260 IS NOT STORED IN
THE PCM, THEN THE VEHICLE HAS A
NON-PATS RELATED ISSUE PREVENTING THE
VEHICLE FROM STARTING.
IF THE VEHICLE (SYSTEM TYPES A, B, C, D
ONLY) IS A NO START WITH THE THEFT LIGHT
FLASHING AT IGNITION ON, AND WITH NO DTC
P1260 STORED IN THE PCM, CHECK PCM
POWER, GROUND, AND VREF CIRCUITS FOR
OPENS OR SHORTS. THE PCM MAY NOT BE
OPERATING PROPERLY.
NOTE
IF THE ENGINE DOES NOT CRANK ON
VEHICLES THAT HAVE PATS OPERATING THE
STARTER RELAY, VERIFY PATS
(PATS/ICM/SCIL) OUTPUT TO THE STARTER
RELAY. ALSO VERIFY THE PATS POWER AND
GROUND CIRCUITS.
NOTE
BE AWARE THAT THE NEW PATS SYSTEM
TYPES B, C, AND E (ON THE FOLLOWING
CHART) OFFER AN ANTI-SCAN FEATURE. IF
YOU ARE TRYING TO START A VEHICLE WITH
AN UNPROGRAMMED PATS KEY, THE THEFT
LIGHT EMITTING DIODE (LED) WILL FLASH
RAPIDLY AND THE VEHICLE WILL NOT BE
ABLE TO START. IN THIS CASE, LEAVE THE
KEY IN THE RUN/START POSITION FOR 30
SECONDS FOR THE ANTI-SCAN FEATURE TO
