This TSB article highlights and clarifies Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) system service information that is often overlooked due to unfamiliarity with this new RKE feature.

The following items are covered in this article:

Transmitter Programming Procedures
Programming Service Information
Ordering Additional RKE Transmitters
RKE Transmitter Service Part Numbers

TRANSMITTER PROGRAMMING PROCEDURES

Transmitters should be programmed according to the procedure that is outlined in the appropriate Service Manual, Section 01 - 14B.

PROGRAMMING SERVICE INFORMATION

The following information clarifies some commonly misunderstood Ford factory-installed RKE system features that affect servicing the system.

Each Ford RKE transmitter contains an individual non-resettable code. When programmed, the RKE module retains the transmitter's code in its memory.
The Ford RKE module (receiver) can be programmed to operate with up to four (4) transmitters.
When additional transmitters are programmed or if reprogramming is necessary, all transmitters for that vehicle must be programmed (or reprogrammed) at the same time. If the programming mode is entered and a transmitter or transmitters are not programmed (or reprogrammed) at the same time, they will not operate with the system.

ORDERING ADDITIONAL RKE TRANSMITTERS

When additional transmitter(s) are purchased for a vehicle, the cost of the transmitter(s) and costs associated with programming the transmitters to the vehicle are not covered by warranty.

RKE TRANSMITTER SERVICE PART NUMBERS - 1992-94 MODELS

The following RKE transmitter chart lists the part numbers of all factory installed RKE transmitters and the number of the transmitters. Refer to this chart for the correct part number. Please note that the transmitters are handled through normal stock orders, not via special order programs.
