GENERAL OPERATION 
INTRODUCTION 
 
The FORD PATS systems were introduced on Ford vehicles on 94.5 M.Y. vehicles , and 
was available from March 1994. 
 
There have been many  variations on the original system fitted, however a block diagram 
of the first system is shown below. This system has a separate PATS Amplifier, however 
on subsequent systems the PATS module was incorporated into the Engine Management 
ECU.

3.2 
GENERAL OPERATION 
SYSTEM OPERATION 
 
The PATS system is a PASSIVE Anti-theft system which requires no special procedures 
for the driver to arm or disarm the system. The system is operated by a transponder fitted 
within the  
ignition keys body, which communicates with the PATS module transceiver mounted 
around the lock barrel. 
 
The easy method of identifying a PATS vehicle is if the key has a small imprint showing 
where the transponder is fitted. The code for the transponder is stored in memory within 
the PATS  
amplifier or the Engine Management ECU. 
 
The PATS system reads the code when the ignition key is turned from position 0 to 
position 1. If the correct code is received then the engine will start. 
 
When vehicles are fitted with Diesel Smart Modules or EPIC, the PATS code is stored in 
these systems as well, and requires clearing when new keys are programmed. 
 
KEY OPERATION - UP TO 98  MY 
 
Three keys are allocated to each vehicle, the first key which is inserted is known as the 
master and is usually identified by its RED colour. The other keys that are used are 
known as slave keys and are usually BLACK with a RED  insert. Up to 16 keys can be 
programmed into the PATS system. 
 
KEY OPERATION - 98 MY ONWARDS 
 
The newer systems are only supplied with 2 keys. Both keys are required to program 
further slave keys. Up to a maximum of 8 keys can be programmed to this PATS system. 
 
KEY PROGRAMMING - UP TO 98  MY 
 
NOTE : Clear ALL Fault codes before programming. 
 
A new master key can only be programmed using the FDS2000 or the AD100 systems. 
Further slaves can be added without any specialist equipment as follows :- 
 
1. Insert master key, and turn to Position 2. PATS LED should illuminate. 
 
2. Turn ignition from Position 2 to Position 0, and remover key.  PATS LED will illuminate 
for 2 seconds. PATS system is now in programming mode for 10 seconds. 
 
3. Insert the new slave key, and turn from Position 0 to Position 2. PATS LED will flash 
once if successful. 
 
4. Repeat for all new slave keys. 
3.3 
GENERAL OPERATION 
KEY PROGRAMMING - 98 MY ONWARDS 
 
NOTE : Clear ALL Fault codes before programming. 
 
Master keys can only be programmed using the 2 PATS keys (A and B) the FDS2000 or 
the AD100 system.  
 
NOTE : In some cases the vehicle doors must be closed to perform the re-programming 
sequence. 
 
Further slaves can be added without any specialist equipment as follows :- 
 
1. Insert key A, and turn to Position 2. 
 
2. Turn back to Position 0, and remove key A. 
 
3. Insert key B, and turn to Position 2. 
 
4. Turn back to Position 0, and remove key B. 
 
5. Insert the new slave key and turn to Position 2. 
 
6. Remove new key. Key is now programmed. 
 
7. Procedure can be repeated after 20 seconds, for up to 8 slave keys. 
 
NOTE : If programming is unsuccessful, the PATS LED will flash when the key is 
inserted. 
 
PATS LED INDICATOR 
 
The LED indicator is used for the PATS system and also other Anti-theft systems fitted to 
the Ford vehicle range. 
 
When the ignition is switched ON, the PATS LED will illuminate for 3 seconds while it 
performs a self-test, after which it extuingishes. 
 
When the PATS system is armed and immobilised the vehicle, the PATS LED will flash 
quickly. 
 
If there is a fault on the PATS system, and the engine can start, the PATS LED will 
illuminate for 60 seconds continuously, and then flash the PATS fault code 10 times. If 
the engine is unable to start and disabled by the PATS system, then the PATS LED will 
FLASH for 60 seconds and then flash the PATS fault code 10 times. 
 
PATS LED is mounted either in the front headlining or next to the heater controls/clock. 
3.4 
GENERAL OPERATION 
PATS SYSTEM - PROBE ONLY 
 
The PATS system fitted to the Probe is unlike the other systems. The main difference is 
the system cannot be diagnosed with the FDS2000 or the AD100. Additional keys and re-
programming of new keys are performed in a different procedure as well. 
 
PROGRAMMING NEW/ADDITIONAL KEYS (2 or more keys available) 
 
1. Using one of the existing keys (This becomes KEY 1), insert into ignition switch. 
 
 NOTE :  When requested to turn the key ON or OFF, the time should not be less than 1 
Second or more than 2 Seconds between operations. Unless stated otherwise. 
 
2. Turn the Key to IGNITION ON and then OFF five times, stopping at the OFF position.  
 
NOTE : PATS LED Should remain ON with the key in the OFF position. 
 
3. Turn the IGNITION ON using KEY 1.,  within 15 seconds of step 2. 
 
4. Turn the IGNITION OFF and remove KEY 1.  
 
5. Insert KEY 2 within 60 seconds of PATS LED illuminating. 
 
6. Turn IGNITION ON and start engine with KEY 2. PATS LEAD will extinguish after 1-2 
seconds and engine remain running if key is accepted. 
 
7. Turn IGNITION OFF and remove KEY 2. 
 
8. Insert KEY 3 within 15 seconds of removing KEY 2. 
 
9. Turn IGNITION ON and start engine with KEY 3. PATS LED will extinguish after 1-2 
seconds and engine remain running if key is accepted. 
 
10. Turn IGNITION OFF and remove KEY 3. Repeat as necessary for additional keys. 
 
PROGRAMMING NEW/ADDITIONAL KEYS (No keys available) 
 
Programming new key(s) when no keys are available can only be completed by a FORD 
dealer.
