Security Access Procedure

NOTE:
^ PATS security access must be obtained to erase ignition keys or enable or disable the spare key programming switch (PID SPARE_KEY). The Security Access Procedure invokes an inherent 10 minute time delay prior to allowing security access during which NGS/SBDS must remain connected to the vehicle. When security access has been allowed, a security access command menu is displayed which offers various command options. For additional information, refer to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) Configuration Command Index.
^ When security access has been obtained, multiple security access commands should be executed (if necessary) prior to exiting the command menu. This avoids the need to carry out an additional Security Access Procedure and the associated 10 minute time delay.

1. Connect the NGS/SBDS tester. From the ford service function card, enter PCM. Select SECURITY ACCESS. Wait for 10 minutes, during which the ignition switch must be in position II and the NGS or SBDS must be connected to the vehicle.
2. After 10 minutes, a new menu will be displayed with command options. Select the functions as required before exiting out of this menu. (Do not select more functions than this procedure calls for). Once exited out of this menu, the security access procedure must be carried out again to carry out additional commands.
