Erase All Key Codes - Program 2 Keys

NOTE: This procedure is used when a customer needs keys programmed into system and does not have 2 programmed ignition keys available, or when programmed ignition keys have been lost and/or 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 PROGRAMMING SPARE KEY(S) WITH TWO 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 into New Generation Star (NGS) tester. Turn ignition switch from OFF to ON position.
