Pinpoint Test D: DTC B10D7:8F
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2010 Mercury Milan, 2010 Lincoln MKZ, and 2010 Ford Fusion. 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 can cause vehicle starting concerns 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 or Huf are approved Ford PATS
keys.)
NOTE:
This vehicle uses a Huf Integrated Keyhead Transmitter (IKT) key. If replacing an IKT
key for any of these vehicles, it is recommended that the original Huf IKT
key be replaced with another Huf IKT
key. There are minor visual differences both externally and internally between the Huf IKT
key and IKT
keys used on other Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury vehicles that may be noticed by the customer. These visual differences do not affect the IKT
key functionality in any way. Rotunda should supply a Huf IKT
key when ordering replacement/new keys for this vehicle. The Owner's Literature can provide additional information concerning these differences. If replacing an IKT
key (or adding another key) with a standard PATS
key (not an IKT
key), any of the brands mentioned above (Ford, Rotunda, Strattec or Huf) can operate the system.
- D1 RETRIEVE THE DTCs
- 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 ON.
- Clear the IPC DTCs.
- Ignition OFF.
- Ignition ON.
- Retrieve the IPC DTCs.
- Is DTC B10D7:8F retrieved for one or both PATS keys?
NOTE: Follow this procedure using both PATS keys (using one at a time).- Yes:
If DTC B10D7:8F is retrieved for one key, REPLACE that key and PROGRAM the new key. REFER to SPARE KEY PROGRAMMING - USING DIAGNOSTIC EQUIPMENT . CLEAR the DTCs. CYCLE the ignition. REPEAT the self-test.
If DTC B10D7:8F 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.
- D2 INSTALL A NEW PATS TRANSCEIVER NOTE: Replacement of the PATS transceiver does not require the PATS keys to be programmed into the IPC again.
- Ignition OFF.
- Install a new PATS transceiver. Refer to Removal and Installation .
- Ignition ON.
- Clear the IPC DTCs.
- Ignition OFF.
- Ignition ON.
- Retrieve the IPC DTCs.
- Are any PATS DTCs retrieved?
- 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.
- D3 CHECK FOR CORRECT IPC OPERATION
- Disconnect the IPC connector.
- Check for:
- corrosion
- damaged pins
- pushed-out pins
- Connect the IPC connector and make sure it seats correctly.
- Operate the system and verify the concern is still present.
- Is the concern still present?
- Yes: INSTALL a new IPC . REFER to INSTALLATION . RESET the parameters in both the IPC and the PCM. REFER to PASSIVE ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM (PATS) PARAMETER RESET . PROGRAM the PATS keys into the new IPC . REFER to INTEGRATED KEYHEAD TRANSMITTER (IKT) KEY PROGRAMMING USING DIAGNOSTIC EQUIPMENT . CYCLE the ignition. REPEAT the self-test.
- No: The system is operating correctly at this time. The concern may have been caused by a loose or corroded connector. CLEAR the DTCs. CYCLE the ignition. REPEAT the self-test.
