Principles of Operation: Notes

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: Replacement of the Passive Anti-Theft System (PATS) transceiver does not require the PATS  keys to be programmed into the Instrument Cluster (IC) again.
NOTE: Make sure any non-Ford aftermarket remote start systems have been removed from the vehicle before any PATS  -related no-start concerns are investigated.
NOTE: A minimum of 2 PATS  keys must be programmed into the IC  before the vehicle starts.
NOTE: When using the Integrated Diagnostic System (IDS), the IC  and the Transmission Control Module (TCM) parameters are reset at the same time.
NOTE: The Smart Junction Box (SJB) is also known as the Generic Electronic Module (GEM).
