ceiver will excite the transponder, which is located (but not visible) in the head of the ignition key. The key
transponder will then send a unique code back to the transceiver for evaluation. If the code matches a valid code
of the system, the vehicle will be allowed to start. Most of these transponder-based systems can be bypassed
using
p/n 555U.
Some may require additional parts from the vehicle manufacturer. Consult you dealer for the
applications. For most Ford PATS transponders,
p/n 555F
can be used, except for the following vehicles, which
will require
p/n 555U

programmer interface, 3-pin black plug
The black 3-pin port is provided for programming of the unit. The unit can also be programmed using the
Bitwriter. When using the Bitwriter, it is possible to configure any and all of the programmable functions as well
as lock the Transmitter/Receiver and System Features Learn Routines so that unauthorized users cannot change
the configuration or program transmitters to the unit.
When the learn routines have previously been programmed using the Bitwriter, they may have been locked.
Before proceeding with reprogramming the learn routines, they must be unlocked with the Bitwriter - this
cannot be done manually with the Valet switch.
