Factory Mode Deactivation: Deactivation

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2021 Ford F-150. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE: During vehicle build, some modules, such as the IPC and BCM are set in factory mode  . Factory mode reduces the drain on the battery during longer periods where the vehicle is not used. While in the factory mode, various systems may be altered or disabled and the IPC displays FACTORY MODE CONTACT DEALER in the message center. If the vehicle is in factory mode, the system automatically reverts to Transport mode after 60 ignition cycles. If the IPC displays TRANSPORT MODE CONTACT DEALER  , refer to the Transport Mode Deactivation  procedure.
  1. Place the ignition in the OFF position.
  2. Verify the battery is fully charged. Refer to: Battery Charging .
  3. Without push button start, cycle the ignition from off to on 60 times.
  4. NOTE: One IKT must  be in the vehicle.

    With push button start, press the Engine Start/Stop button 120 times.

  5. Refer to the Transport Mode Deactivation procedure. Refer to: Transport Mode Deactivation .
