No Key Detected Message

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2018 Ford Focus. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE: Some brands/types of mobile phone or laptop computer chargers may cause interference that could lead to a PATS no-start if the passive key is within close proximity of the charger. If a concern is observed, move the passive key away from the charger and attempt to start the vehicle.

The No key detected message displays in the message center when the ignition is OFF, the START/STOP button is pressed and a valid programmed passive key is not detected inside the vehicle.

If a component failure is causing the No key detected message to display, the backup starting method can be used.
