Here's what I found....

B1601: Unprogrammed PATS key. There is no issue with the PATS key itself, but must be programmed into the PATS memory (unless maximum number of keys already programmed). Follow Spare Key Programming Procedure from the chart. No parts should need to be replaced for this code.

Have a spare key you can use?

Were the two extra keys you got programmed OEM Ford keys or aftermarket?

If they were non-OEM Ford keys they can cause PATS issues.

Correct, non OEM keys can cause PATS issues. A trip to the dealer may be in order.

you guy are both correct they were non factory keys so im guessing im goin to have to go to dealership and reprogram the 2 oem keys and throw those 2 aftermarket keys out. reproamming is very expensive some places do it for free, but that was my dumb fault to begin with
