It would have to go to Ford unless you can find someone with the correct kit to read an Epic Transit, which wont be easy, I would imagine Ford would only charge you 1 or 2 hours labour to do it

Check out the original PATS unit :idea:

eg :arrow:

Also check the ECU fuse if the red engine lamp isn't coming on with the ign :idea:

This seems a bit suspicious, as EPICs normally turn over, even if PATS is not recognised :idea:


Have you checked the fuses for the PATS :?: (no.32 & 33 @5amps)
