Ford Workshop Service and Repair Manuals

NOTE:This procedure is utilized to obtain passive anti-theft system (PATS) security access. PATS security access must be granted to erase ignition key codes or enable/disable the spare key programming switch. This procedure invokes an inherent 10 minute time delay prior to granting security access during which WDS/FDS 2000 must remain connected to the vehicle. Once security access has been granted, a security access command menu is displayed which offers various command options. For additional information, refer to Powertrain Control Module (PCM) Configuration Command Index in this section. NOTE:Once security access has been granted, multiple security access commands should be executed (if necessary) prior to exiting the command menu. This avoids repeating the procedure and thus avoids any additional 10 minute time delay. Use WDS/FDS 2000 to obtain anti-theft security access.

After the 10 minute security access procedure has been completed, a new menu will be displayed with command options. Select the function as required before exiting out of this menu. (do not select more functions than the procedure calls for). Once exited out of this menu, the security access procedure must be carried out again to carry out additional commands.
