★ Top Answer
The Ford F-150's theft code 16 indicates that the anti-theft system has been activated, preventing the car from starting. While this system is known to be sensitive, it's possible that it has not been triggered accurately, causing difficulties in resetting it with the key fob or the designated procedure. In such cases, it is crucial to bring the vehicle to a repair shop or arrange for towing. A mechanic may use a diagnostic tool to address the problem, although resetting it can pose a challenge.

This code does not pertain to the anti-theft system; rather, it concerns the steering column.

I am experiencing similar problems. Can you clarify how it is not connected to the theft, but rather linked to the steering column?

I need assistance with my 1998 Expedition 5.4. It started running by itself with a rough idle, making odd sounds, and then shut off suddenly. The antitheft light came on with code 16. I've checked all the fuses under the dash and hood, which all seem fine. The check engine light doesn't come on in the on position, and the OBD port is showing as not responding. I tried replacing the ECC, but there was no change. What should I do next?

I'm experiencing problems with my 16-digit code.

First, make sure to inspect all power and ground connections to the PCM as a priority. Next, examine the ground splices located on the firewall behind the battery. There are three splices in total, each containing six wires collectively.
