Title: IGN Key reader & EECV
Post by lesterlad aka Rodders on Aug 14^th, 2011, 12:38pm

I am getting rid of my doner car tomorrow but before it goes I am taking the ign barrel out and the PATS reader that fits around it, do i need to take the EECV out as well so one matches the other if they are used for another car ?

Have been offered £150 for just the shell/engine/gearbox, everything else is in the shed for use as spares so I thought while the scrap prices are high (plus the Mrs is moaning about it ::) ) it's got to go.

Rodders.

Rod, If the info I have been given is correct, you do still need the eecv. Lee

Rod,

AFAIK, (and I've done PATS to death LOL), it is the key that is coded to the PATS, not the reader.
Depending on your car some have a separate PATS module and some have PATS in the ECU, so if it's a separate type then the key, (or at least the chip), must go with the module, if built in, keep it with the ECU ;)

HTH,

Dave

Where would I find the module if it's not built in to the ECU and what does it look like ?
Car is a 95 (M)

Rodders, Have a look at This page (http://www.fordscorpio.co.uk/manual/electrical/antitheft/centralcontrolmod.pdf). IIRC the PATS unit is the unit below the EECV and you need to drill out the rivets in order to remove it. ;)
