Key Programming - Security Access Procedure

NOTE: Security access must be granted to erase ignition keys, enable/disable spare key programming switch, or perform parameter reset for PATS module. This procedure has a 10-minute time delay prior to granting security access, during which the New Generation Star (NGS) tester must remain connected to vehicle. After security access has been granted, security access command menu is displayed. This menu offers various command options. Only select the command required by appropriate system test.

Turn ignition on. Using NGS tester and Ford Service Function (FSF) card, select PATS module. Select SECURITY ACCESS PROCEDURE. This procedure will take 10 minutes to perform. After the security access procedure has been completed, a new menu will be displayed with command options. Select as many functions as required before exiting this menu. Once this menu is exited, security access procedure must be performed again to perform additional commands.
