ErickBaker Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 I have a 2006 F150 that came in on the hook due to a no start. The only code in the PCM was a P1601-PATS recieved an unprogrammed key. The pinpoint test was vague at best and turned up no problems. I programmed the two keys the customer brought with the truck and now the truck starts fine. Customer states vehicle usually needs 2-3 attempts to start in the morning and the anti-theft light flashes when the truck doesn't want to start. I also made sure there were no metallic objects or other PATS keys on his key ring. Hotline's only advice was to place the PCM in the freezer for a few hours to see if there was a fault internally that was brought out by the cold. No luck there. Anyone have any ideas of what else I should check or why the truck would forget it's PATS keys? Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ErickBaker Posted September 25, 2006 Author Share Posted September 25, 2006 Customer said he didn't have anything like that on his key ring. Hotline clued me into the speedpass tip a few months ago. Customer picked up vehicle so we'll see in a few weeks if the truck comes back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
