PATS Erase All Keys: erasing all keys from the Ford/Mazda PATS memory

Procedure that erases ALL the keys stored in the PATS system. Use it when a key has been lost or stolen and must no longer start the vehicle, or as a first step in an all keys lost case.

Procedure

1. Lay out on the bench all the keys that have to work afterwards: at least 2 are needed after the erase.
2. Connect the AVDI, get a stable supply on the vehicle and start the software with the correct vehicle context.
3. Open the "Special Functions" list (bottom right) and select "PATS Erase All Keys" by double-clicking or with the "Open" button.
4. Confirm the operation and wait for it to complete: every key stored in the PATS is removed.
5. Straight afterwards move to "PATS Key Learning" and program at least 2 new keys following the on-screen instructions.
6. Check every programmed key: engine starting and the immobilizer light going out.
7. If the anti-theft system triggers during the job, apply the timing sequence described in the PATS Key Learning guide (programming window between the 15th and 16th minute).
