Key Programming - Without Programmed Keys

NOTE: This procedure is used when a customer needs keys programmed into Passive Anti-Theft System (PATS) and does not have 2 programmed ignition keys available, or when ignition switch assembly has been replaced. This procedure will erase all programmed ignition keys from memory and prevent vehicle from starting until 2 keys have been programmed. Ignition keys must have correct mechanical key cut for vehicle and must be an encoded key. If additional key(s) are to be programmed, perform KEY PROGRAMMING - WITH PROGRAMMED KEYS  . If remaining keys are with customer and not with vehicle, instruct customer to see owner's manual to program spare key(s).
  1. Insert Ford Service Function (FSF) card VERSION 5.0 or higher into scan tool. Turn ignition switch from LOCK to RUN position. Select SERVICE BAY FUNCTIONS, then HEC. Perform KEY PROGRAMMING - SECURITY ACCESS PROCEDURE  . After security access procedure has been completed, a new menu will be displayed with command options. Select IGNITION KEY CODE ERASE.
  2. Turn ignition switch to LOCK position and disconnect scan tool. Insert first encoded ignition key into ignition switch. Turn ignition switch to RUN position for 3 seconds. Turn ignition switch to LOCK position and remove first encoded key.
  3. Within 5 seconds, insert second encoded ignition key into ignition switch. Turn ignition switch to RUN position for 3 seconds. Turn ignition switch to LOCK position and remove second encoded key. Both encoded ignition keys should now start vehicle.
