Ford Fusion PATS Disable / Reset Service

If your Ford Fusion will not start after a PCM/ECU replacement, the Passive Anti-Theft System (PATS) is likely the cause. Our PATS disable and reset service permanently removes the immobilizer requirement from your PCM, allowing your Fusion to start and run without needing programmed keys or a matched PATS module.

What MoPower Can Offer

• Permanently remove PATS security from your Ford Fusion PCM
• VIN rewritten back into the PCM for a seamless factory match
• Eliminates no-start conditions after PCM replacement or swap
• Plug-and-play PCM installation – no dealer key programming required

How PATS Works

Ford PCMs often include PATS capability, even if the vehicle was not originally equipped. Once a PCM has been “married” to a PATS system, it will always expect the immobilizer handshake before starting. Our PATS reset service clears this lock, restoring normal plug-and-play function.

• Donor PCMs from PATS-equipped vehicles can cause no-start issues
• PATS-cleared PCMs can start with both security and non-security keys
• Compatible with Ford Fusion model years 2006 and newer

Security Light Woes

After PATS delete, the security light may remain illuminated on some Ford Fusion dashboards. If this occurs, the only solution is to remove the bulb or LED from the cluster.

Plug-and-Play Installation

Most customers can install a PATS-cleared PCM with no additional programming. In rare cases, a global DTC clear may be required before the Fusion will start.
