Backup Starting

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.

The vehicle can experience a PATS  no start if there is a failure of any passive start antenna, the battery in the IA  key, or the TPM  module. However, in the event of one of these failures, the IA  key can be placed in the backup slot to allow the vehicle to start. If a programmed IA  key is in the backup slot when the backup transceiver is activated, it activates the IA  key and the identification code is sent back to the RFA  module.
