Normal Operation
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2014 Lincoln MKX and 2014 Ford Edge. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
During each vehicle start sequence, if the Remote Function Actuator (RFA) module does not detect an Intelligent Access (IA) key is inside the vehicle and the backup transceiver does not receive an IA key identification code, the message center displays the message NO KEY DETECTED.
NOTE:
Some brands/types of mobile phone or laptop computer chargers may cause interference that could lead to a Passive Anti-Theft System (PATS) no-start if the IA
key is within close proximity of the charger. If a concern is observed, move the IA
key away from the charger and attempt to start the vehicle.
This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:
- Environmental interference
- IA key
- IA key battery
- IA key not programmed
