Special Tool: New Generation Star (NGS) Tester:

SPECIAL TOOL(S)

NOTE:
^ The security access procedure is utilized to obtain passive anti-theft system (PATS) security access. PATS security access must be granted to erase ignition keys, enable/disable the spare key programming switch or carry out parameter resets for the instrument cluster. The security access procedure invokes an inherent 10 minute time delay prior to granting security access during which time the New Generation STAR (NGS) Tester must remain connected to the vehicle. Once security access has been granted, a security access command menu is displayed that offers various command options.
^ Select only the commands required by the appropriate pinpoint test.

1. Using the Ford Service Function (FSF) card, select the appropriate instrument cluster. Enter SECURITY ACCESS PROCEDURE. This procedure will take 10 minutes to carry out, during which time the the ignition switch must be in RUN and the NGS must be connected to the vehicle.
2. After the 10-minute security access procedure has been completed, a new menu will be displayed with command options. Select only those functions required before exiting out of this menu. Once exited out of this menu, the security access procedure must be carried out again to select additional commands.
