-----Question-----
i have a 01 cougar and i was opening and closing the pass door and alarm started beeping and now the lights don't work with the alarm system. key fobs as well as the power door locks work correctly but outside lights don't flash when locking the vehicle which means alarm isn't armed. i think i need to relearn the alarm so that the lights work with the alarm, if so does anybody know how to do this any thoughts?

Hi Travis,
I believe it is in the trunk latch. I found this article that might help.
1. Many questions have been raised about the RKE system and the Memory Seat feature association. The following information is here to explain the 3 different versions of "personality" Refer to these methods used to associate transmitters to memory seat/mirrors/pedal/steering column positions:
a. When transmitters are initially programmed to vehicle, the first transmitter will automatically recall memory position # 1. The second transmitter programmed will automatically recall memory position # 2. Remember, transmitters no longer have # 1 and # 2 labels on them and the customer should be told which transmitter was the first and second to be programmed. Or at least inform the customer how their system operates so there is no confusion. The transmitters cannot be disassociated with this implementation. (Example Windstar).
b. When the transmitters are programmed to vehicle, no automatic association to the memory seat/mirror/pedal/steering column positions will occur until set by the dealer or customer. The association of transmitters to the vehicle can be accomplished by pressing the Set button, followed by a button activation from the transmitter, followed by the memory position (1 or 2) the customer wishes to have it set to. The transmitters in this scenario can be disassociated if the customer wishes by pressing the Set memory switch, any button on the keyfob/transmitter and the Set memory switch again. (Example Town Car and LS).
c. The third personality implementation is just like "b" except the transmitters are associated to the vehicle when initially programmed. However, the customer or dealer may change those settings following the steps laid out in "b" Again, with this implementation, the transmitters may be disassociated from the vehicle.
2. Most (2001 & newer) vehicles equipped with Remote Entry, now allow Lock and Unlock functions to operate with the ignition on. However, flashing of exterior lights or sounding (chirps) of horn will not operate with the key turned to RUN or START.
3. On some 2001 and beyond vehicles, there is a feature called Power Door Lock Disable which becomes active 20 seconds after the vehicle is electronically locked. The feature disables the interior power door lock switches. This feature is used to prevent access into the vehicle if a moonroof or window is open and someone attempts to place a stick through the window to unlock the vehicle via the interior trim switch. The interior power door lock switches become operational again once the vehicle is electronically unlocked or a door becomes ajar. If the customer complains of intermittent interior power door lock functionality check to see if this feature is configured ON. If so, inform the customer of this feature and that it can be disabled if the customer wishes to change the configuration (refer to Owner's Guide). If not, pursue normal diagnosis.
AnswerHere's some more stuff:
PATS/VIC/HEC/SCIL/ICM)
^ B1213:
Less than two (2) keys programmed to the PATS control. Use Diagnostic Card to run self test on PATS (or VIC/HEC/SCIL). If DTCs B1232, B1600, B1601, B1602, or B1681 are present, they must be serviced first. If B1213 is the only self test DTC, then cycle second PATS key in ignition to program.
^ B1232/B2103:
Transceiver module antenna failure. Replace transceiver module.
^ B1600:
No PATS key read by the PATS control. This can be caused by the PATS key, PATS transceiver, circuits between the PATS transceiver/PATS control, and/or the PATS control. For 1996-1997 Taurus Sable, 1996-1997 Mustang, and 1997-1998 Expedition/Navigator, overlay all wires from transceiver pigtail harness to control module if an intermittent failure cannot be corrected by replacing transceiver module.
^ B1601:
Unprogrammed PATS key. There is no issue with the PATS key itself, but must be programmed into the PATS memory (unless maximum number of keys already programmed). Follow Spare key Programming Procedure from the chart. No parts should need to be replaced for this code.
^ B1602:
Partial PATS key was read. Verify that approved PATS key (Ford Rotunda, ILCO, Strattec, HUF, or Valeo) is being used. Large metal objects, additional PATS keys, or devices to purchase gasoline located on the customer's key chain can cause interference. Instruct the customer to keep such items from touching the ignition key during engine start. It is not necessary to remove the objects from the customer's key chain. Remote starter equipment can also cause this fault code. Remove any remote starter equipment close to the transceiver before conducting further diagnosis. This DTC can be caused by the PATS key or PATS transceiver.
^ B1681:
PATS transceiver module signal is not received by the PATS control. This code can be caused by circuits between PATS transceiver and PATS control, PATS transceiver, or possibly the PATS control. Follow pinpoint test for troubleshooting. This can also be caused by using the wrong transceiver part number. Verify the correct transceiver part number is being used.
^ B2139:
The PCM_ID does not match between the PCM and PATS (VIC/HEC/ICM). Using Service Card, select Service Bay Functions, PATS (VIC/HEC/ICM), enter Security Access (10 minute delay), Parameter Reset. Then using the Diagnostic Card, select: PCM, Active Commands, Keep Alive Memory Reset. Cancel back to the previous NGS screen. Turn ignition OFF. Then disconnect the DLC. Cycle ignition 3 times slowly (3 seconds ON, 3 seconds OFF) to re-initialize the system.
^ B2141:
NVM configuration failure. This means PATS does not have a stored PCM_ID in memory (PATS PID PCM_ID = not STORED). If DTC U1147 is also present, it must be fixed first. Attempt to fix a U1262 first as well, but it may not be required to fix this fault prior to the B2141. If B2141 is the only DTC, then using Diagnostic Card, select: PCM, Active Commands, Keep Alive Memory Reset. Cancel back to the previous NGS screen. Turn ignition off. Then disconnect the DLC. Cycle ignition 3 times slowly (3 seconds on, 3 seconds oft) to re-initialize the system.
^ U1147:
This code indicates a communication issue (Bus+, Bus-) between the PCM and PATS (VIC/HEC/SCIL). This code CANNOT be caused by PATS key, PATS transceiver, or the circuits between PATS transceiver and PATS control. Whenever PATS has U1147 as a stored DTC, there should be a "P1260 Theft Detected - Engine Disabled" in the PCM stored codes. Verify that P1260 is stored in PCM. If not, there is a possible power-up issue of the PCM (i.e., PATS is powering up at key to RUN/START but the PCM is not, therefore when PATS tries to communicate over Circuits 914 and 915 to the PCM, there is no response); verify power and ground circuits to the PCM; verify the tester can communicate with the PCM.
^ U1262:
This code indicates a communication issue (Bus+, Bus-) between the PATS/HEC/ICM and some other module. Do not perform PATS diagnostics if a no start is not reported of it theft indicator is not flashing rapidly at ignition RUN position. If the indicator is flashing, check to make sure the PCM is powered up and operating. If it's not, continue with PCM diagnostics.
^ B2431:
The ignition key (used on 2000 LS) was not programmed. Note that this vehicle has a special ignition key. Replace ignition key, using the correct style. If the fault persists, replace the transceiver module.
And more stuff:
1. Electronically unlock the vehicle (i.e., using the transmitter, keypad or power lock switch on the door) prior to attempting to diagnose the vehicle via Service Tools or entering Remote Entry System Programming Mode. Most newer model year systems (2002 and beyond) require this action before function is operational.
2. If extreme poor range performance is experienced:
a. DO NOT change batteries on Remote Entry transmitters (Range does not change as battery ages).
b. DO NOT replace or reprogram Remote Entry transmitters (Range is determined primarily by the receiver) If only one of the transmitters experience poor range, but not all, then it is OK to replace the bad transmitter and reprogram ALL transmitters back to vehicle.
c. Verify external antenna is connected (if applicable).
d. Ensure the poor performance is not only in certain locations. Examples; by radio stations or TV transmitting towers, power generators, etc.
e. Ensure no other aftermarket/dealer installed devices are mounted on vehicle (especially systems operating at same frequency, 315MHz). If aftermarket/dealer installed systems are present, disconnect them and check FMC OEM system for proper operation.
f. Ensure poor performance is consistent in nature and not just from one approaching angle from or to the vehicle.
g. Poor performance is most likely the cause of a remote entry receiver, not a remote entry transmitter issue.
3. If there are other functional issues with the Remote Entry system:
a. First determine if the Remote Entry system is OEM or aftermarket (dealer installed systems with Ford Logo are still considered aftermarket). Please note this fact in repair claim.
b. Ensure correct Remote Entry devices (transmitters, keypad) are used with vehicle. This can be verified via part number or RKE Job Aid which can be viewed from the PTS or QCdealer websites. Even if the part has a Ford Logo, ensure it is one pictured on the on Job Aid. If not listed on RKE Job Aid then it is an aftermarket or dealer installed device and should be diagnosed and binned accordingly.
c. Ensure there are no aftermarket Systems on the vehicle. Examples: Remote Start, Perimeter Alarm, Charging Cell Phones. Charging Coolers, etc ) If so, please note this fact on repair claim for easy identification. Disconnect aftermarket system and check OEM system for normal operation.
d. Continue with normal repair procedures.
4. If the RF device (transmitter or wireless keypad) requires a battery replacement there is NO need to reprogram the device back to the vehicle.
5. If any one button, yet not all buttons on the Remote Entry device operates, there is NO need to reprogram the device back to vehicle. Follow normal repair procedures for inoperative function.
6. Be aware that before entering Remote. Entry program mode:
a. First electronically Unlock the vehicle.
b. Have ALL RF devices (transmitter. wireless keypads) present at the time of entering procedure. Most Remote Entry systems only allow up to 4 devices. Thus. if these other RF devices (wireless keypads) are added, it should be noted that the number of locations to store extra transmitters will be reduced. Inform the customer of this.
c. Ensure no other vehicles within 50 meters of a vehicle entering program mode are attempting to enter program mode also or are activating any RF functions (transmitters / wireless keypad). This could cause cross programming, mis-programming or loss of programmed transmitters/wireless keypads from memory.
d. Recall that once the first RF device is programmed to the vehicle. ALL other devices stored in memory get erased using the manual key cycling method to enter program mode. If service tools are used to enter program mode (on vehicles equipped with feature), the technician has the opportunity to add just one transmitter/wireless keypad to memory without erasing all others
e. Verify how many devices are actually stored in memory before entering this procedure. This can be accomplished via diagnostic tools. If you do not receive ALL devices that are currently programmed to vehicle from customer at time of repair, inform the customer that when the devices provided are reprogrammed to vehicle none of the other devices left at home will operate the vehicle any longer. They should be referred back to their Owner's Guides for the manual programming procedure to reprogram ALL their devices to the vehicle again on their own. This should eliminate repeat repairs in the future.
f. If all Remote Entry devices are not provided at time of repair, entrance into program mode via service tools is preferred over the manual programming procedure (if equipped on vehicle). Diagnostic programming allows individual RF devices to be added or it can be used to replace specific devices currently in memory and does NOT have to erase ALL devices currently stored in memory which would render those left at home inoperative.
g. Be aware of difficulty of cycling the ignition between OFF and RUN on some manual transmission vehicles due to the ignition lock feature. It may be easier (if applicable) to cycle the ignition from OFF to ACC, rather than RUN (example, older Crown Vic/Grand Marquis)
7. Be aware on older Model Year Town Car and Crown Vic/Grand Marquis Vehicles, there is a higher chance of inadvertently entering program mode by only cycling the ignition from OFF to RUN two times by accidentally bypassing OFF and going all they way to ACC. If the customers complain their door locks cycled intermittently or their transmitters no longer work, it could mean they entered program mode inadvertently at some time. Transmitters that no longer work with vehicle can be easily determined if they are still programmed to the vehicle via diagnostic tools (Function Mode).
8. Refer to the Remote Entry Job Aid located on PTS and QCDealer websites or the 2 laminated versions sent to each dealership for appropriate programming procedures and transmitters to be used for every Model Year vehicle.
9. If the vehicle is experiencing issues with the Keys or Passive Anti-Theft System (aka SecuriLock(TM)), these issues should be binned to:
a. L23 for keys
b. -15607- or L14 for PATS transceiver
c. L14 for PATS control
10. If customers complain of inadvertent activations, determine if the following is the cause:
a. Ask customer if they programmed their transmitters to other family vehicles. If so, inform them if a transmitter is activated within 50 meters of both vehicles, it will perform the function on both vehicles. (Also, note that a trunk release button on one vehicle may be a liftgate glass release function on another vehicle).
b. For Liftgate Glass release activations, check OASIS to determine if there are any applicable SSM or TSBs. Some 2002-2003 Explorer 4DR, Mountaineer and Aviator vehicles built prior to 04/04/2003, may exhibit backglass rattle/noise or high effort when closing. Due to this issue, one may find that while driving down the road or when parked, their liftgate glass is ajar. For these vehicles, first make sure the glass is closed with enough force to fully latch.
NOTE : Allowing the glass to fall on its own is not sufficient force for proper closure. The condition may also be due to tolerance stack-up between the backglass to body dimensions and latch position. To service Explorer 4DR and Mountaineer, first remove the backglass latch assembly. Second, drill the body side latch mounting bolt hole 2 mm larger (from 7 mm to 9 mm diameter, or 23/64"). Additionally, for Aviator, replace the backglass overslam bumpers with revised part number W708031-5300. NOTE : Replacement of the latch is not necessary.
11. Crown Vic/Grand Marquis vehicles do not have feedback implemented to mark the ending of transmitter programming, the ignition key must be turned to OFF and there must be a 10-20 second wait to get out of programming mode. If the recently programmed transmitter(s) is tested before this time out expires, it may not work and technician may think it did not program at all
And even more stuff:
PROGRAMMING
NOTE:
This procedure only works if two or more programmed ignition keys are available and it is desired to program additional key(s). If two keys are not available.
PID SPARE - KY must be enabled for this procedure to operate. If this PID is not enabled, refer to Security Access then select Spare Key Programming Switch; Enabled. See: Security Access
If the programming procedure is successful, the new key(s) will start the vehicle and the anti-theft indicator will illuminate for approximately three seconds .
If the programming procedure is not successful, the new key(s) will not start the vehicle and the anti-theft indicator will flash. If the programming procedure was not successful leave the ignition switch in the RUN position for at least 30 seconds , repeat the Key Programming procedure from Step 1. If the failure repeats, refer to Diagnostic and Testing to review DTCs an carry out Pinpoint Tests.
A maximum of eight ignition keys can be programmed to a Passive Anti-Theft System (PATS) equipped vehicle.
If the steps are not carried out as outlined, the programming procedure will end.
Ignition keys must have correct mechanical key cut for the vehicle and must he a PATS encoded key.
Insert first programmed key into ignition lock cylinder and turn the ignition switch from the OFF position to the RUN position (maintain ignition switch in the RUN position for one second ).
Turn ignition switch to the OFF position and remove the first key from the ignition lock cylinder.
Within five seconds of turning the ignition switch to the OFF position, insert the second programmed ignition key into the ignition lock cylinder and turn the ignition switch from the OFF position to the RUN position (maintain the ignition switch in the RUN position for one second ).
Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position and remove the second key from the ignition lock cylinder.
Within ten seconds of turning the ignition switch to the OFF position , insert the unprogrammed ignition key (new key) into the ignition lock cylinder and turn the ignition switch from the OFF position to the RUN position (maintain the ignition switch in the RUN position for one second ).
If it desired to program additional key(s), repeat the applicable key programming procedure from step 1.
