Hi,
This is my first post on here, but I've been registered for a few years, reading the advice to help keep my Transit on the road.
I've had my Transit for 6 years now and last year had an intermittent PATS problem, which fixed itself before I got too concerned
But the last 2 days it's been playing up again so I need to do something about it
Turn the ignition and the light flashes quickly, ending up with a Code 14 - partial key code received (faulty or obscured key)
Turn it off and on again, and still the same, and also the same with the spare key
Leave it for a few minutes and come back, and it'll start first time
Drive somewhere, turn it off and you have to go through the same process again, so I'm worried I'm going to get stuck somewhere!
It's an October 1996 2.5di with 312,000 miles so I assume the PATS module it starting to play up
Any suggestions of what to check for this code, or how to bypass the PATS if I get stuck by the side of the road
I don't use it much, about 5k a year, but will be needing it next weekend
Thanks
Gavin Rogers
