Backup Starting
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2022 Ford Transit-350 HD, 2022 Ford Transit-350, 2022 Ford Transit-250, 2022 Ford Transit-150, and 2022 Ford E-Transit. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:
There are certain areas within the vehicle where the passive key may not be detected and the message center displays No Key Detected. If the passive key is in the far outside edges of the interior (such as in a door map pocket or above a sun visor), it may not be detected. Move the passive key to a different location and try to turn the ignition on.
When the BCM does not detect a valid programmed passive key in the passenger compartment or cargo area, the No Key Detected message displays in the message center when the START/STOP button is pressed.
In the event of one of these failures, place a programmed passive key in the passive key backup starting location to allow the vehicle to start. When the START/STOP button is pressed, the PATS center antenna activates the passive key and the identification code is sent to the BCM. The passive key must be oriented correctly in the backup starting location.
For more information and to identify the backup starting location, refer to \"Failure to Start\" and \"backup slot\" in the Owner's Literature.
