Hi all, I have a 2014 ford transit which has just started having issues with the anti theft mechanism. It only starts 1/10 times and the other 9 will come up with anti theft active.
Any advice?

Is the PATS light flashing fast whilst trying to start..?? If it is, it should even crank, let alone start.
What fault codes are you getting..??

I've got an Auto electrician coming to take a look at it Friday, is there any way for me to check the fault codes myself or do I need specialist equipment?

You need Forscan or similar.
