'94-95 F-series/Bronco THEFT System
IF THE IMAGE IS TOO SMALL, click it.

When tripped, the module beeps the horn, flashes the headlights & parking lights, and disables cranking. To reset, either unlock a CLOSED door from outside with the key (NOT the remote), or wait ~90 seconds.

This system was offered in trucks ONLY with RKE. But because it's so simple to defeat, it was deleted in '96 and replaced with PATS a few years later.

Since the parts aren't available new, a malfunctioning system is commonly bypassed by unplugging the module and jumpering C238 pin 12 R/LB to pin 24 LG/Pu. Removing the unused wires &/or permanently splicing those wires together is more work and not really necessary.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

The anti-theft protection system operating sequences are designed to be passive; therefore, the system can be armed or disarmed when following normal vehicle exit and entry procedures. The anti-theft protection system provides two types of vehicle protection. The first is designed to provide the vehicle with protection from unauthorized entry into the passenger compartment and engine compartment opening ( hood (16612)) (Econoline only). The second monitors the status of the ignition key lock cylinder.

The system is controlled by an anti-theft control (19A366). When armed, unauthorized entry into the vehicle is detected by courtesy lamp switches (13713) (located in the passenger compartment door jambs), and a hood switch (located on the right cowl surface) (Econoline only). In addition, the system is triggered if the ignition switch lock cylinder (11582) is forcibly removed from the steering column.

NOTE: The system immediately monitors the ignition switch lock cylinder upon removal of the key from the ignition. It is not necessary to arm the system for monitoring the ignition switch lock cylinder.

Once triggered, the system flashes the low beam headlamps, the parking lamps (13201), the anti-theft indicator, and pulses the horn. In addition, the starter circuit is disabled to prevent starting the vehicle until the system is disarmed.

Components

The system consists of the following components:
- Anti-theft control module
- Anti-theft warning lamp
- Door key disarm switches (Econoline: driver, RH front and rear doors; F-Series and Bronco: driver and passenger doors)
- Hood tamper detection switch (Econoline only)
- Remote entry module transmitter
- Ignition key lock cylinder sensor

The following components already exist on the vehicle and are also used in the anti-theft system:
- Power door lock switches
- Courtesy lamp switches (Econoline: driver, RH front side and rear doors; F-Series: driver and passenger doors)
- Horn relay
- Low beam headlamps
- Parking lamps
- Starter relay

Arming the System

The system will be armed by the remote entry transmitter when the following input sequence is followed:
1. Turn off ignition switch and remove key.
NOTE: At this point the anti-theft system automatically monitors the ignition key lock cylinder. If the lock cylinder is forcibly removed, the system will activate for 3 minutes. To arm the system, follow remaining steps.
2. Close all doors (unlocked).
3. Press the LOCK button on a transmitter to lock doors. anti-theft warning lamp will turn on.
4. Wait approximately 30 seconds for the anti-theft warning lamp to turn off.

The system will also be armed when the following input sequence is followed:
1. Turn off ignition switch lock cylinder and remove key.
2. Open a door. anti-theft protection warning lamp will flash.
3. Lock doors with power door lock switches (14028 ). anti-theft warning lamp will turn on.
4. Close all doors.
5. Wait approximately 30 seconds for the anti-theft warning lamp to turn off.
Opening the driver, RH front side or rear doors or opening the hood will trigger the system after the anti-theft protection is armed.

Disarming an Untriggered System

The system can be disarmed by performing one of the following procedures.
- Unlock front door or rear door (Econoline only) with a key.
- Unlock front door (20124) by pressing the UNLOCK button of a remote entry transmitter.
- If remaining in the vehicle, turn ignition switch to ON or ACC.

The rear door of Bronco is not tied in with the Anti-Theft System. Using the key on the rear door will not disarm the theft system.

Triggering the System

The armed system will be triggered if either of the following steps is taken.
- Any door is opened without using a key or a remote entry transmitter to unlock the door first.
- Hood is opened (Econoline).
Opening the rear door on Bronco will not trigger the system.

Disarming a Triggered System

Performing either of the following steps will disarm the triggered system.
- Driver, RH front or rear door is unlocked with a key.
- Rear door of Econoline is unlocked with a key.
- Driver's door is unlocked by pressing the UNLOCK button of a remote entry transmitter.

Within two to three minutes after the system has been triggered, the horns and exterior lamps will shut off automatically. The system will then reset to an armed state and will trigger again if another intrusion occurs. The vehicle's starter circuit will remain disabled until the system is disarmed.

Activating the PANIC Alarm

Press the PANIC button of a remote keyless transmitter. The exterior lights and horn will flash for approximately four minutes or until:
1. the PANIC button is pressed again, or
2. the ignition switch lock cylinder is turned on.

On F-Series and Bronco, the panic feature is controlled with the remote keyless entry module and is completely independent of the anti-theft system. Refer to Section 01-14B for description of the electronic door lock control system. For panic features, the Econoline uses the anti-theft module to sound the horn and flash the lights.
