Hey Guys,
Bought an 06 F150 a few months ago. Has been running great. Yesterday I ran into the store and came out and it wouldn't roll over or start. Messed around with some fuses and whatnot and eventually it started again.
It flashed an engine code B1681
And this is desciption of the code:
B1681 PATS transceiver module signal is not received by the PCM. This DTC can be caused by the circuits between the PATS transceiver and the PCM, the PATS transceiver, or the PCM. Follow the pinpoint test for diagnosis. This can also be caused by using the incorrect transceiver part number. Make sure that the correct transceiver part number is being used.
Basically the security system isn't reading the key properly and is causing it to not start. Happened again this morning, but just got home from work and it started again. Really need to get it sorted out, but can't afford to take to the dealer.
Wondering if any of you guys have ran into this issue, and have any suggestions on what to do with it? Thanks
