Pinpoint Test B1600-: No Key Code Received - Damaged Encoded Ignition Key Or Use Of Non-Pats Encoded Ignition Key

NOTE: Large metallic objects or devices such as the Mobile Speedpass or a second ignition key on the same key ring as the PATS ignition key may cause vehicle starting problems and this DTC under certain conditions. If a fault cannot be identified, examine the customer's key ring for such objects or devices. If present, inform the customer that they need to keep these objects from touching the PATS ignition key while starting the engine. These objects and devices cannot damage the PATS ignition key, but can cause a momentary problem if they are too close to the key during engine start. IF a problem occurs, turn ignition off and restart the engine with all other objects on the key ring held away from the ignition key. Check to make sure the encoded ignition key used by the customer is an approved Ford encoded ignition key. (Encoded ignitions keys from Rotunda, IIco, Curtis, or Strattec are approved encoded ignition keys.)
