Ford Crown Victoria PATS Disable / Reset Service

If your Ford Crown Victoria won’t start after a PCM/ECU replacement, the problem is often caused by the Passive Anti-Theft System (PATS). Our professional PATS disable and reset service permanently removes the immobilizer from your PCM, solving no-start issues related to mismatched keys or PATS modules.

Why Choose MoPower Calibrations for PATS Delete?

• Permanent removal of the Crown Victoria PATS security feature from your PCM
• VIN rewritten to the PCM for a factory-correct installation
• Eliminates no-start conditions after PCM replacement or engine swaps
• Plug-and-play PCM solution — no extra key programming required

How Ford PATS Works

Many Ford PCMs have built-in PATS capability. Once a PCM has been “married” to a PATS system, it will always look for the immobilizer handshake before allowing the engine to run. This is why replacing your PCM with a donor unit often leads to a no-start condition. Our PATS reset service clears this requirement so the PCM will operate normally.

• Donor PCMs from PATS-equipped vehicles can trigger immobilizer lockout
• PATS-cleared PCMs start with both standard and security keys
• Works for most 1998–2011 Crown Victoria models with PCM swaps

Security Light After PATS Delete

On some Ford Crown Victoria models, the security light may remain illuminated even after PATS removal. If this occurs, the solution is to remove the light bulb or LED from the dash cluster.

Plug-and-Play PCM Installation

Our PATS disable service provides a ready-to-install PCM. Most customers experience plug-and-play operation, though in rare cases a global DTC clear may be needed.
