problems and record DTCs under certain conditions. If a fault cannot be 
identified, examine the customer's key for such objects or devices. If present, 
inform the customer that they need to keep these objects from touching the 
PATS ignition key while starting the engine. These objects and devices cannot 
damage the PATS ignition key, but can cause a momentary problem if they are 
too close to the key during engine start. If a problem occurs, turn ignition OFF 
and restart the engine with all other objects on the key ring held away from the 
ignition key. Check to ensure the encoded ignition key used by the customer is 
an approved Ford encoded ignition key (encoded ignition keys from Rotunda, 
Ilco, Curtis, or Strattec are approved Ford encoded ignition keys).

NOTE:

Large metallic objects or devices such as the Mobil Speedpass or a second key 
on the same key ring as the PATS ignition key may cause vehicle starting 
problems and record DTCs under certain conditions. If a fault cannot be 
identified, examine the customer's key for such objects or devices. If present,
