Ford "Anti-Scan Mode"

• Most Ford, Lincoln, Mercury and Mazda (Ford based) models are equipped with a feature called ANTI-SCAN.
• ANTI-SCAN models include vehicles that use PATS 2, HEC, ICM, VIC, PCM and CAN.

This can sometimes be the main cause for a Ford product not starting after programmig of new keys or Clear/Erase of keys.
Follow this procedure if the vehicle will not start and you have cycled your keys after Clear/Erase has finished:

1. -Disconnect the Device and remove any keys.
2. Wait 2 minutes.
3. Turn the first key to ON (Do not try to start) the Theft light should stay on for 3 seconds and then go out.
4. Repeat this for the Second Key. If the Theft light stays on for 3 seconds and then goes out, you are not in ANTI-SCAN mode and the vehicle should now start.

• You will not be able to start the vehicle with a un-programmed key and even an original key if you have not waited 70 seconds after removing the un-programmed key.
• In some cases you may need to leave the programmed key in the RUN position for 2 minutes and then turn the key OFF and back ON to start the vehicle.
