Passive Anti-Theft System What it is: Passive anti-theft systems (PATS),
like Ford's patented SecuriLock system, protect against drive away theft
through the use of an electronically coded ignition key. The system is
designed to help prevent the engine from being started unless a coded
key programmed to the vehicle is used.
An indicator shows the system is working.

How it works:

A miniature transponder with an integrated circuit and antenna
is embedded in the ignition key. A wireless radio-frequency
transmission transfers an electronic code between the transponder
in the key and the vehicle.

If the code matches, a code programmed in the vehicle, a signal is
sent through the wiring system to the electronic engine control,
allowing the engine to start. There are 72 million-billion possible codes,
so every Ford sold worldwide for the next 10 billion years could have
unique codes.

New keys for replacements or spares can be purchased at dealerships.
A customer may program spare keys to the vehicle themselves if they
possess any two keys that operate the vehicle. A dealership technician
may erase and program keys using diagnostic equipment. A maximum of
eight keys may be installed in most systems.
Customer benefit: Increased protection against drive away vehicle theft,
where the thief starts the engine and drives the vehicle away.
Ford status: Standard on most North American vehicles in model year 1996-2010.

This also means you will need to be able to start the engine to
get RPM rate, and then to be able to use a bypass kit as they must
be able to program correctly. You will require 2 transponder
keys to do ANY bypass.

So, the best plan is to have Ford re synch the PATS, turn it on,
and make sure it has 2 programmed keys to operate.
Then you can bypass it so it won't be a bother any longer.

Sorry, but it's a procedure that has to be done, or no bypass
can be done.

If those specifications have been met then,
this vehicle will need the PKFM bypass kit from
ALARMTEK.
