No Key Detected
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2017 Lincoln Navigator and 2017 Ford Expedition. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
If the No Key Detected message displays in the message center, the PATS is preventing the ignition mode from changing out of OFF. A valid programmed key is required to be detected by the RFA module before BCM changes the ignition out of OFF. For additional PATS information, refer to Anti-Theft Passive Anti-Theft System (PATS) .
