[Rangerdanger559]

I have a 2007 Ford ranger five-speed 2.3 L it has 126,000 miles and once in a while it won’t start and it gives me a pats code 1:6 i’ve checked the grounds relays and everything I can think of if I unplug the PCM and wait a minute and plug it back in it will fire right up and runs for a few days when it gets close to acting up again it will randomly stall through a battery and check engine light but fire right back up now after a day or so of this it will shut off and Pats Will activate and I have to start the process over again please help

Test the battery first, then test for voltage drop on the cables. The system is extremely sensitive to voltage fluctuations, a dying battery or bad cable can cause all sorts of seemingly random havoc.

Batteries brand new alternator tested good we did battery terminals I’m definitely far from my mechanic but also definitely can’t afford one
