WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2006 Mercury Mariner and 2006 Ford Escape. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
P1260 - THEFT DETECTED, VEHICLE IMMOBILIZED

Description:  The TCM monitors the CAN bus for a Key Status - Enable message from the PCM during the power up sequence. If this message is not received within a set amount of time, this DTC is set and the transaxle is disabled.
Possible Causes: 
  • Previous theft condition.
  • PATS system malfunction.
  • Damaged TCM.
Diagnostic Aids:  Make sure the remote transmitter is correctly programmed. Diagnose all PATS and PCM DTCs first. For PATS DTCs refer to ANTI-THEFT - PATS - HYBRID . For PCM DTCs, refer to DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) CHARTS AND DESCRIPTIONS .
If no other DTCs are present, the system is operating correctly at this time.
Clear the DTCs.
Repeat the self-test.
