Ford Mustang PATS Disable / Reset Service

The Ford Mustang is one of the most common vehicles affected by Passive Anti-Theft System (PATS) issues. If you’ve replaced the PCM/ECU and the engine starts then immediately stalls, chances are the immobilizer is still active. Our Mustang PATS disable and reset service permanently removes the PATS security programming from your PCM, fixing no-start conditions caused by mismatched keys or modules.

Why This Service is Our #1 Seller

Mustang owners frequently upgrade or replace PCMs, and PATS is often the roadblock preventing the car from running. This service is our most popular PATS delete solution, trusted by customers worldwide to get their Mustangs back on the road fast.

What MoPower Can Offer

• Permanently remove PATS security from your Ford Mustang PCM
• VIN rewritten back into the PCM for a correct factory match
• Eliminates no-start conditions after PCM swap, replacement, or performance upgrade
• Plug-and-play PCM install – no extra key programming required

How PATS Works

All modern Ford PCMs have PATS capability. Once a PCM has been “married” to a PATS system, it will always expect the immobilizer handshake before allowing the engine to start. Our PATS reset service clears this requirement, letting your Mustang PCM operate normally without needing PATS.

• Donor PCMs from PATS-equipped Mustangs can trigger no-start issues
• PATS-cleared PCMs work with both security and non-security keys
• Compatible with most Mustang model years from 1996 to present

Security Light Woes

After PATS delete, the security light may remain illuminated on some Ford Mustang clusters. If this occurs, the only solution is to remove the light bulb or LED from the dash 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 needed before the Mustang will start.
