Working on a family friend's 08 FX4. He was driving done the road and all of a sudden the truck shutoff. Helped him get the truck towed home and we have messed with it for 2 days now. My research on the topic has found no solution so i hoping you guys can help
I believe the issue is with the PATS system. When you turn the key on the red lock is blinking rapidly for about 45 seconds and then blinks about every 2 seconds. The regular code scanner i have cant make a connection to the OBD2 port and im in the middle of reformatting my PC with AE on it. Is the OBD2 port disabled with the truck is in an Anti-Theft mode?
Once i am able to get my PC back up and running will i be able to check the health of the PATS system or reset it to the keys that he has?
Lastly, the truck does have an aftermarket remote starter on it. I am in the process of getting a wiring diagram for it. Im guessing that it needs to fool the PATS system to be able to function and im wondering if this might be a cause of this. At first glance, the wiring for the system looks pretty professional and looks like it was installed correctly.
Any information you guy might have to troubleshoot this is well appreciated!
