When the LED flashes you may see a pattern.
Watch it next time and you may be able to work out what code it's flashing
The code is usually repeated about 10 times and will signify a two number code i.e.-
Flash flash pause flash would be code 2,1.
These codes assist in diagnosing immobiliser faults.
If the light flashes rapidly with a long amount of flashes it usually means the key is not recognised at all.

PATS Immobiliser Fault Codes
 
Introduction
 
If a fault develops on a vehicle fitted with Ford PATS there are a series of simple checks which can be carried out before proceeding, if necessary, to the FDS2000 diagnostic programme. There are also a number of self-diagnostic two-digit codes which may be displayed by the indicator LED which indicate a specific fault and could avoid the need to proceed with the FDS2000 diagnostic programme.

Note: The indicator LED must be carefully observed and the sequence of flashes noted.

When the two-digit codes are flashed, for example 1:3, a single flash followed by a break, followed by three flashes and a break, will be repeated ten times before the LED finally goes out.

Fault Finding Procedure-
 
Fault - Engine does not start or crank: LED does not illuminate

PATS system fuses in foot well fuse box. Fit or renew as necessary.
 
If alarm is fitted check whether LED functions for alarm: If OK go to FDS2000. If not OK check cigar lighter fuse (this also supplies power to
LED).
 
Fault - Engine does not start or crank: LED flashes rapidly. (Engine is immobilised but key will not cancel immobilisation)

Check: Leave ignition switched on for at least one minute or until LED starts to flash two-digit code. Note the code being flashed and compare with the following list:-

Code Problem Check
 
1 : 3 Key code not received is the key obscured, try again with different key, key may be damaged/faulty
1 : 4 Partial code only received is the key obscured, try again with different key, key may be damaged or faulty
1: 5 Key not programmed to PATS Programme key
1 : 6 Faulty link between PATS and EEC v module check with FDS2000
 
Programme key.

Fault: Engine does not start or crank: LED illuminates for 4 seconds and goes out: (PATS is working correctly, possible fault elsewhere in system)

Check:
Starter solenoid relay, renew if necessary. If still no start, Go to FDS2000.

Fault: Engine cranks but does not start. LED illuminates for 4 seconds and goes out (PATS is working correctly, fault elsewhere in system)

Check:
Power to PCM or fuel pump (diesel), if still no start, Go to FDS2000 Check PCM fault, Go to FDS2000 (Petrol and Gas engines)
 
Fault: Engine starts but LED stays on

Check:
Leave ignition on (engine running) for at least one minute or until LED starts to flash two-digit code 2 : 1 Less than three keys programmed into module: vehicle can be driven but one or two more keys should be programmed into memory.
