Also just noticed that after the 30-45 seconds of fast flashing it stops but then makes one long flash and 6 short flashes. Code 16?

 

Bump for an answer...

 

Sounds like an issue with the PATS and the chip. The chip might not have the correct file in it. I assume the truck starts without the chip, correct?

 

Yes it starts with the chip out. Diane and Jody are on it now so I will let you know how it turns out. They are gonna check Monday if the PATS was set in the chip.

 

It wasn't. you're gonna have to send it back for a reflash.

 

Diane said Jody was going to check it Monday and if its not right he is going to send out another chip Monday and I can send this chip back later. I hope that is all it is. I've got about 4 hours into this chip and I can't bill any of them!

 

I have a 2003 Mustang GT. Had the same problem.....turn over and and over but no crank, THEFT light flashing very fast. Took it to dealer, they couldnt find anything wrong with anything....PATS was good or whatever..
Finally figured out that when I tried to start it with the steering wheel tilted "UP", it was stretching some connection in there, making the Security Theft thing do its thing.
Try tilting the wheel down and give it a spin....that's what i've been doing since 2003:blah:

 

my dads had the same thing.. but has a SCT.. we just install the tune turn the key on without starting for about 45secs or till the theft light slows down..turn key off than turn it back on and wts than start it.. but like i said its for a o1 with the SCT Xcal2

 

Yeah I have tried that key on/off procedure for the PATS key relearn but no go! I was hoping it was that simple!

The chip has PATS enabled so we're doing some testing. I don't have this issue with my EX so we're just as puzzled.

Tim, you'll have another chip coming tomorrow to see if it may be a flakey chip.

Thanks Diane! I look forward to getting it and trying it!

 

can't you just unplug the pats module above the accelerator pedal?

 

I forgot about that, I did that on my excursion.

Wait! Wait! your KIDDING ME!! to disable the system all you need to do it unplug the module? Did a 2 year old design this anti theft system? No wonder so many Fords get stolen!

Tell me more about this possibility if the chip won't work. PM it if you please as to not tell the scum bags that might use it to steal our trucks!

 

I forgot about that, I did that on my excursion.

 

Here is an update! Jody and Diane sent the chip out 2nd Day Air and got it Wednesday:rockwoot: (very nice thank you!). Customer came in today I slapped the chip in there and its good to go! Theft acts normal, truck starts and run great!

So I just have to send the first chip back via the return label they sent with the second chip! Jody and Diane WELL DONE!! You took all needed steps to solve the situation and I thank you!

 

Glad u got it worked out.
