When you turn key on my car it will not start. it is not the battery Ford did a eec test said pats immobilizer error. no communication with modules on the high speed network needs additional diagnosis. i can start it by using the instructions on how to start your car when the anti theft device will not let it start. sometimes i have to do the process several times but it always starts after a couple of times. Ford place said it could be $100.00 or a couple of thousand to fix the problem that they would just get rid of it. it is a great little car have had no trouble until now. I bought it from a one owner at the Honda dealership one and half years ago. any suggestions?

Hello,

I would start by checking the fuses because if you have a power feed to one of the computers it will throw that code.

Here is a guide a diagrams to show you where the fuses are (below):

I know its basic but we need to start somewhere.

Please let us know what happens so it will help others.

Cheers, Ken
