Pinpoint Test B: DTC B1600
Normal Operation
- DTC B1600 (PATS Ignition Key Transponder Signal Is Not Received) - sets when no PATS key has been read by the IC.
This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:
- PATS key
- PATS transceiver
- IC
PINPOINT TEST B: DTC B1600 - PATS IGNITION KEY TRANSPONDER SIGNAL IS NOT RECEIVED
NOTE: Large metallic objects, electronic devices on the key ring that can be used to purchase gasoline or similar items, or a second key on the same key ring as the PATS key may cause a vehicle starting concern and record DTCs under certain conditions. If a fault cannot be identified, examine the customer key ring for such objects or devices. If present, inform the customer that they need to keep these objects from touching the PATS key while starting the engine. These objects and devices cannot damage the PATS key, but can cause a momentary concern if they are too close to the key during engine start. If a concern occurs, turn the key off and restart the engine with all other objects on the key ring held away from the ignition key. Check to make sure the PATS key used by the customer is an approved Ford PATS key. (PATS keys from Ford, Rotunda, Strattec, or Huf are approved Ford PATS keys.)
