Component Description

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2018 Ford EcoSport. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

BCM

When the BCM is replaced, program at least 2 keys and perform the parameter reset procedure.

The BCM requires PMI when replaced.

IKT

The IKT incorporates both the PATS functions and the RKE transmitter functions in a single device.

During key programming procedures, the PATS and the RKE transmitter of an IKT are programmed into the BCM. Conventional PATS keys can also be programmed to the vehicle if requested by the customer.

A minimum of 2 and a maximum of 8 keys can be programmed (unless in unlimited key mode).

PATS Transceiver

The PATS transceiver reads any key placed in the ignition lock cylinder. When the ignition changes to RUN or START, the BCM activates the PATS transceiver. Once the PATS transceiver activates, it activates the key in the ignition lock cylinder and receives the key data. Once the PATS transceiver receives the key data, it sends the data to the BCM.

PCM

When the PCM is replaced, perform the parameter reset procedure. There is no need to program keys if the PCM is replaced.

The PCM requires PMI when replaced.
