Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) DTC Chart

2010 Ford Taurus SEL, FWDSECTION Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) DTC Chart
NOTE: This module utilizes a 5-character DTC followed by a 2-character failure-type code. The failure-type code provides information about specific fault conditions such as opens, or shorts to ground. Continuous memory DTCs have an additional 2- character DTC status code suffix to assist in determining DTC history.

DTC Description Action
B109E:42 Remote Keyless Entry: General Memory Failure The Smart Junction Box (SJB) has 4 Integrated Keyhead Transmitters (IKTs) stored in memory and cannot program any more IKTs into the SJB  memory. REFER to PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION  to determine this is normal operation for this system.
B10D5:13 PATS  Antenna: Circuit Open There has been a Passive Anti-Theft System (PATS) transceiver antenna failure. Go To PINPOINT TEST A: DTC B10D5:13 .
B10D7:05 PATS  Key: System Programming Failures There was a failure in key programming and the key was not programmed. ATTEMPT to program the key. REFER to KEY PROGRAMMING USING DIAGNOSTIC EQUIPMENT - INTEGRATED KEYHEAD TRANSMITTER (IKT) . CLEAR the DTCs. CYCLE the ignition. REPEAT the self-test. If the concern is still present, Go To PINPOINT TEST I: DTC B10D7:05 .
B10D7:51 PATS  Key: Not Programmed There is an unprogrammed PATS  key. Go To PINPOINT TEST C: DTC B10D7:51 .
B10D7:87 PATS  Key: Missing Message No PATS  key has been read by the IPC  . Go To PINPOINT TEST B: DTC B10D7:87 .
B10D7:8F PATS  Key: Erratic Only a partial PATS  key was read. Go To PINPOINT TEST D: DTC B10D7:8F . B10D8:00 PATS  Key Less Than Minimum Programmed: No Sub Type Information If DTCs B10D7:87, B10D7:51, B10D7:8F, B10D9:87 and B10D5:13 are present, they must be addressed first. If DTC B10D8:00 is the only DTC present, PROGRAM additional keys. REFER to KEY PROGRAMMING USING DIAGNOSTIC EQUIPMENT - INTEGRATED KEYHEAD TRANSMITTER (IKT) . CLEAR the DTCs. CYCLE the ignition. REPEAT the self-test.
B10D9:87 PATS  Transponder: Missing Message The Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) did not receive the PATS  transceiver signal. Go To PINPOINT TEST E: DTC B10D9:87 .
B10DA:51 PATS  PCM Identifier: Not Programmed There is no PCM ID stored in the IPC  . CARRY OUT a parameter reset of the IPC  and the PCM, then CYCLE the ignition and make an attempt to start the vehicle. REFER to PASSIVE ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM (PATS) PARAMETER RESET - INTEGRATED KEYHEAD TRANSMITTER (IKT) . CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test.
B10DA:61 PATS  PCM Identifier: Signal Calculation Failure CARRY OUT a parameter reset of the IPC  and the PCM and CYCLE the ignition 3-5 times, making an attempt to start the vehicle each key cycle. REFER to PASSIVE ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM (PATS) PARAMETER RESET - INTEGRATED KEYHEAD TRANSMITTER (IKT) . CLEAR the DTCs. CYCLE the ignition. REPEAT the self-test.
B10DA:86 PATS  PCM Identifier: Signal Invalid
NOTE: If DTCs B10DA:61 and B10DA:86 are both present, address DTC B10DA:61 first.
Go To PINPOINT TEST G: DTC B10DA:86, P1602 OR U0100:00 .
U0100:00 Lost Communication With ECM  /PCM "A": No Sub Type Information
NOTE: If DTCs U0100:00 and B10DA:61 are both present, address DTC B10DA:61 first.
Go To PINPOINT TEST G: DTC B10DA:86, P1602 OR U0100:00 .
