F 450 4WD Super Duty V10-6.8L VIN D (2004)
Keyless Entry Key-Pad: Description and Operation
Keyless Entry Keypad
There are 2 types of keyless entry keypads available as an option. On all Excursion and F-Super Duty vehicles built after 12/03, the keyless entry
keypad is wired directly to the vehicle security module. On F-Super Duty vehicles built before 12/03, the wireless keyless entry keypad uses an RF
signal to communicate with the vehicle security module and takes place of one of the remote transmitters. Both keyless entry keypads are located on
the exterior of the driver door and provide a method for the customer to access their vehicle without a key or remote transmitter. The keyless entry
keypad feature:
-
locks all doors and inhibits the door lock control switch UNLOCK capability after 20 seconds (if the inhibit feature is enabled).
-
unlocks only the driver door.
-
unlocks all doors.
-
programs/erases customer key code.
-
enables/disables auto-locking (all Excursion and F-Super Duty vehicles built after 12/03).
The keyless entry keypad feature operates independently of ignition status, vehicle speed, or transmission position. When a keyless entry keypad
button is pressed, the keyless entry keypad buttons illuminate to provide better visibility. If LOCK ALL DOORS is entered or 5 seconds have elapsed
since the last button press, the illumination is turned off.
Each vehicle equipped with a keyless entry keypad is programmed with a 5-digit entry code. This code is provided to the customer through a wallet
card in the Owner Literature package. In addition, this code is available through a diagnostic tool and is also printed on the vehicle security module
label. When entering codes each digit must be entered within 5 seconds of the previous button press.
When the battery in the wireless keyless entry keypad (applies to F-Super Duty vehicles built before 12/03) is low and needs to be changed, the
vehicle provides a warning by sequencing the unlock cycle differently. This indicates a low-battery condition.
Programming Personal Codes
A unique personal 5-digit code can be programmed by following these steps:
1. Enter the factory set 5-digit code (the keyless entry keypad will illuminate when pressed).
2. Press 1/2 within 5 seconds of Step 1.
3. Enter the unique 5-digit code.
The personal code does not substitute for the permanent factory set code. Either code can be used to access the vehicle. In addition, if a second
personal code is programmed, it will simply overwrite the previous personal code.
Anti-Scan Feature
To provide added security, the keyless entry keypad is disabled for one minute after 35 button presses without a valid entry code being entered. The
keyless entry keypad will flash during this one-minute mode with all functionality disabled except for 7/8 and 9/0 still being allowed to lock the
vehicle.
Anti-Scan will be turned off after any of the following events:
-
one minute of keyless entry keypad inactivity
-
the remote transmitter UNLOCK button is pressed (all Excursion and F-Super Duty vehicles built after 12/03)
-
the key is turned to the ON position (all Excursion and F-Super Duty vehicles built after 12/03)
Unlocking the Doors with the Keyless Entry Keypad System
To unlock the driver door, enter either the factory set code or the personal code (each digit must be pressed within 5 seconds of the prior digit). The
interior lamps will illuminate.
To unlock all doors, enter either the factory set code or the personal code (driver door unlocks) and press the 3/4 control within 5 seconds.
Locking the Doors with the Keyless Entry Keypad System
It is not necessary to enter the factory set or personal code prior to locking all doors. To lock all doors, press the 7/8 and 9/0 controls at the same time.
