der will then send a unique code back to the transceiver for evaluation. If the code matches a valid code of the
system, the vehicle will be allowed to start. Most of these transponder-based systems can be bypassed using p/n
555U. Some may require additional parts from the vehicle manufacturer. Consult you dealer for the applications.
For most Ford PATS transponders, p/n 555F can be used, except for the following vehicles, which will require p/n
555U: '97 and newer Mark VII, and 2000 and newer Taurus/Sable, Contour/Mystique and Focus.

programmer interface, 3-pin black plug
The black 3-pin port is provided for personal computer programming of the unit. The unit can also be pro-
grammed using the Bitwriter® (p/n 998T). When using the Bitwriter, it is possible to configure any and all of
the programmable functions as well as lock the Transmitter/Receiver and System Features Learn Routines so that
unauthorized users cannot change the configuration or program transmitters to the unit.
When the learn routines have previously been programmed using the Bitwriter, they may have been locked.
Before proceeding with reprogramming the learn routines, they must be unlocked with the Bitwriter - this
cannot be done manually with the Valet switch.
