Ford Escape: Passive Anti-Theft System (PATS) / General Procedures - Anti-Theft Key Programming - Scan Tool
Programming
NOTE:
A passive key with a depleted battery(ies) only starts the vehicle when
in the backup starting location. The RKE functionality remains
inoperative until the key battery(ies) is replaced.
NOTE:
The diagnostic scan tool must have an active Internet connection. A hardwired connection is strongly recommended.
NOTE:
When programming keys, the RKE transmitter and the PATS portion of the key are programmed at the same time.
NOTE:
Common anti-theft security access choices are:
-
Count keys
-
Erase Keys
-
Program Keys
-
Module Initialization
-
Using a diagnostic scan tool, establish a session with the vehicle.
Refer to: Diagnostic Methods (100-00 General Information, Description and Operation).
-
NOTE:
If the perimeter alarm activates when a diagnostic
scan tool is connected and no valid programmed keys are available, carry
out the following steps:
-
If equipped with a keyless entry keypad,
enter the keyless entry keypad code to allow a diagnostic scan tool
session to be established. Proceed to Step 3 below.
-
If not equipped, allow the alarm to
activate for 10 minutes, which is then be followed by a 1 minute access
window where a diagnostic scan tool session can be established. Proceed
to the following steps:
-
To avoid nuisance from the horn, remove the horn or anti-theft alarm horn fuse.
-
Using a diagnostic scan tool, establish a session with the vehicle.
-
Select TOOLBOX>PCM , or SOBDMC (if equipped) or BCM (some vehicles)
under HS-CAN1 module list> PATS Programming, or ABS (if equipped)
under HS-CAN2 HS2 or FD-CAN (on some models) module list> PATS
Programming, but do not select the check mark box to proceed further.
-
If equipped with a hood latch switch, and
the hood is open for battery charging purposes, place the hood latch in
the closed position.
-
Latch the striker in the driver door to prevent a door ajar condition
from being reported to the BCM and leave the driver door open to allow
access to the DLC
and ignition switch or push button start. Make sure that all other
doors, liftgate, luggage compartment lid, and or tailgate are closed.
-
If the exterior lights are not flashing to
indicate an alarm event, disconnect and reconnect the battery.
-
Select PATS
Programming and then select the appropriate function to erase keys.
Select the corresponding check marks until the screen is displayed which
indicates that 2 keys need to be programmed to start the vehicle.
Select the check mark on this screen to continue. An error may be
reported on the next screen. Ignore this error. Exit from this
diagnostic scan tool function and select PATS Programming a second time.
Proceed until either a screen is displayed which advises to turn the
ignition on or the main PATS Programming menu is displayed. Do not
select the check mark on this screen or proceed any further.
-
The process of requesting to erase keys with
the diagnostic scan tool initiates a 10 minute timer in the BCM which
must conclude before the 1 minute DLC access window occurs.
-
Reinsert the horn or anti-theft alarm horn
fuse after the exterior and interior lights stop flashing. This occurs
within 4-5 minutes of when a command to erase keys is sent from the
diagnostic scan tool. After another 5-6 minutes (9-11 minutes from the
initial point of diagnostic scan tool DLC access), the horn chirps 1
time to indicate the 1 minute data link access time period has begun. Immediately proceed to Step 5. If the single horn chirp is not heard, perform the procedure again starting at Step 1.
-
NOTE:
Depending on the diagnostic scan tool
power settings, it may be required to provide an occasional mouse/keypad
input to prevent power saver mode from being entered and the diagnostic
scan tool session being interrupted during the 10 minute period before
the 1 minute access window. Also, ensure that a technician service
publication website session is active and has not timed out on the
laptop or PC being used for this procedure.
-
Using a diagnostic scan tool, select TOOLBOX>PCM or SOBDMC (if
equipped) or BCM (some vehicles) under HS-CAN1 module list> PATS
Programming or ABS (if equipped) under HS-CAN2 or FD-CAN (on some
models) module list> PATS Programming.
-
Select the appropriate procedure and follow the on-screen instructions.
-
When the Gaining Security Access screen appears, make
sure the diagnostic scan tool is connected to the Internet and select
Yes to continue. If directed to this step from the above alarm
activation steps for vehicles without a keyless entry keypad, select
Erase Keys.
-
NOTE:
If programming a passive key (vehicles with push
button start), refer to the Owner's Literature for the passive key
backup starting location. The passive key must be placed in this
location to successfully program.
Return to the diagnostic scan tool window and follow the
on-screen instructions. The door locks and hazard flashers cycle to
indicate when a key is successfully programmed. After programming the
first key and selecting OK, place the second key in the backup starting
location and select Program Key to program the second key. Start the
vehicle; if it will not start, select PATS Functions and perform a
parameter reset or module initialization for the BCM , the PCM , SOBDMC
(if equipped), or the ABS module (if equipped) as necessary. If the
vehicle will still not start, perform the procedure again starting at
Step 1.
