(A) Anti-Theft Warning - Service Tips

(A-1) - AFTERMARKET ALARM MAY PREVENT SPEED CONTROL FUNCTION

ISSUE:
When installing the accessory (Dealer-installed) Remote Keyless Entry Kit (or any Aftermarket system), particular attention must be taken when connecting the starter interrupt feature. Both wires which originate from the same terminal of the ignition switch must be cut and crimped into the butt connectors as shown in the installation instructions. Incorrect connection to the start circuit can cause inoperative vehicle speed control and/or no self test codes from the vehicle self test diagnostic system.

ACTION:
Refer to installation instructions for wire color codes, or call 1-800-FORD KEY for assistance with Ford Dealer-installed accessory Remote Keyless Entry Kit assistance.

(A-2) - TIME ALARM SOUND CHANGE

ISSUE:
This change was incorporated to meet with New York State legislation requirements governing the operation of alarm sirens.

ACTION:
1993-94 all NAAO vehicles RKE-equipped will, as of May 1, 1993, incorporate a software change that will shorten the length of time that the alarm will stay on when the panic button is pushed once. Alarm will sound for no more than 2 minutes 45 seconds. The time duration was 3 minutes.

(A-3) - INOPERATIVE THEFT WARNING SYSTEM LAMP: - 1993 PROBE

ISSUE:
Inoperative theft warning system may be caused by an incorrect switch input from either door lock cylinder, hood or liftgate latch switch.

ACTION:
To test the switches, leave the driver's door open and arm the system. If all switches are OK, the Anti-Theft Lamp will light. If one switch value is incorrect, the lamp will not light. Cycle the hood, hatch lock and both door locks using the key. As each switch is cycled, the lamp will flash OFF/ON. Any switch that does not flash the lamp indicates a concern with the switch or its wiring between the CPU and the switch.
