Pinpoint Test D: DTC B1602

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2010 Mercury Mariner and 2010 Ford Escape. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
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 ignition 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, and Huf are approved Ford PATS  keys.)
  1. D1 RETRIEVE THE DTCs 
      NOTE: Follow this procedure using both PATS  keys (using one at a time).
    • If only one key is available, cut a new key and program the keys. Refer to INTEGRATED KEYHEAD TRANSMITTER (IKT) KEY PROGRAMMING USING DIAGNOSTIC EQUIPMENT .
    • Ignition OFF.
    • Connect the scan tool.
    • Ignition ON.
    • Clear the DTCs.
    • Ignition OFF.
    • Ignition ON.
    • Retrieve the DTCs.
    • Is DTC B1602 retrieved for one or both PATS keys? 
    • Yes:  If DTC B1602 is retrieved for one key, REPLACE that key and PROGRAM the new key. REFER to INTEGRATED KEYHEAD TRANSMITTER (IKT) KEY PROGRAMMING USING DIAGNOSTIC EQUIPMENT  . CLEAR the DTCs. CYCLE the ignition. REPEAT the self-test.

      If DTC B1602 is retrieved for both PATS  keys, GO to D2  .

    • No:  The system is OK. CHECK all the customer PATS  keys by attempting to start the vehicle with each key to verify all other PATS  keys are programmed.
  2. D2 INSTALL A NEW PATS TRANSCEIVER 
    NOTE: Replacement of the PATS  transceiver does not require the PATS  keys to be programmed into the IC  again.
    • Yes:  GO to D3  .
    • No:  The system is OK. CHECK all the customer PATS  keys by attempting to start the vehicle with each key to verify all other PATS  keys are programmed.
  3. D3 CHECK FOR CORRECT IC OPERATION 
    • Disconnect the IC  connector.
    • Check for:
      • corrosion
      • damaged pins
      • pushed-out pins
    • Connect the IC  connector and make sure it seats correctly.
    • Operate the system and verify the concern is still present.
    • Is the concern still present?
