2005 Ford Econoline E150, Van Cargo, 5.4 LSECTION Introduction
NOTE:
The PATS uses radio frequency identification technology to deter a drive away theft. Passive means that it does not require any activity from the user. The PATS uses a specially encoded ignition key. Each encoded ignition key contains a permanently installed electronic device called a transponder. Each transponder contains a unique electronic identification code. Each encoded ignition key must be programmed into the vehicle before it can be used to start the engine. DTC P1260 will be stored any time the PCM disables the vehicle because of the PATS.
