damage the PATS ignition key, but can cause a momentary problem if they are
too close to the key during engine start. If a problem occurs, turn ignition OFF

ignition key. Check to ensure the encoded ignition key used by the customer is
an approved Ford encoded ignition key (encoded ignition keys from Rotunda,
Ilco, Curtis, or Strattec are approved Ford encoded ignition keys).

problems and record DTCs under certain conditions. If a fault cannot be
