Anti-Scan Feature
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Mercury Monterey and 2004 Ford Freestar. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
If the wrong code has been entered 7 times (35 consecutive button presses), the keyless entry keypad will go into an anti-scan mode. This mode disables the keyless entry keypad for 1 minute and the keyless entry keypad lamp will flash.
The anti-scan feature will turn off after:
- 1 minute of keyless entry keypad inactivity.
- pressing the UNLOCK button on the remote transmitter.
- the key is turned to the ON position.
