Flex FWD V6-3.5L (2010)
9. If it is desired to program additional key(s), refer to Key Programming Using Two Programmed Keys See: Accessories and Optional
Equipment/Antitheft and Alarm Systems/Testing and Inspection/Programming and Relearning/Key Programming Using Two Programmed Keys
for each additional key (up to 8 keys, total) that needs to be programmed. The IC PID SPAREKEY must be enabled.
Spare Key Programming - Using Diagnostic Equipment
Spare Key Programming - Using Diagnostic Equipment
NOTE: This procedure is used when a customer needs to have an additional key programmed into the vehicle without erasing stored key codes, but
does not have 2 programmed keys available. This procedure is also useful when attempting to determine if an ignition key is damaged, as a new key can
be installed without erasing keys or without having 2 programmed keys available.
NOTE: Before programming, the new key (may be an Integrated Keyhead Transmitter (IKT) key or a standard Passive Anti-Theft System (PATS) key)
must have the correct mechanical cut for the ignition lock cylinder.
NOTE: If 8 keys are already programmed, this procedure does not allow any more PATS keys to be programmed. The number of keys that are
programmed into PATS can be determined by viewing the Instrument Cluster (IC) PID N_KEYCODE.
NOTE: When in the unlimited key mode (after the first 2 keys have been programmed to the vehicle), the IC N_KEYCODE PID always reads 2, no
matter how many keys are programmed to the vehicle.
1. Turn the new, unprogrammed PATS key from the OFF position to the ON position.
2. From the scan tool, enter TOOLBOX. Select BODY - SECURITY - PATS Functions and follow the Integrated Diagnostic System (IDS)
on-screen instructions to ENTER SECURITY ACCESS. For additional information, refer to Anti-Theft Security Access See: Accessories and
Optional Equipment/Antitheft and Alarm Systems/Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics.
3. NOTE: Make sure the selection made is "Program additional ignition key". If the "Ignition Key Code Erase" selection is made, all of the keys are
erased from the system.
From the scan tool menu select: "Program additional ignition key".
4. Turn the key to the OFF position and disconnect the scan tool.
5. NOTE: The number of programmed IKT keys can be determined by viewing the Smart Junction Box (SJB) PID #_REMOTES. This PID can be
used to determine if there are 4 or fewer IKT keys programmed into the vehicle. If any conventional fobs have been programmed, this PID is not
able to determine the difference between a conventional fob and an IKT. If the IC PID N_KEYCODE displays 2 and the SJB PID #_REMOTES
displays 3, there is probably one conventional fob programmed to the vehicle.
Start the vehicle with the new PATS key. The vehicle should start with the new PATS key and also with the original PATS keys. If it is an IKT
key, verify the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) functions operate correctly (if there are 4 or fewer IKT keys programmed).
MyKey(TM) Programming
MyKey(TM) Programming
Program a MyKey(TM)
NOTE: After a MyKey(TM) has been programmed, the remaining standard key(s) (the key[s] that is not programmed with the MyKey(TM) feature) is
referred to as an "administrator key(s)" or "admin" key(s). There must always be at least one admin key. The Instrument Cluster (IC) does not allow the
last admin key to be programmed into a MyKey(TM) restricted key. Both the admin key and the MyKey(TM) restricted key can be used to see how
many MyKey(TM) and admin keys are programmed to the vehicle, and how many total miles have been driven with the MyKey(TM) feature active
(using the message center). The MyKey(TM) is the one with the restricted status. The admin key does not have any restrictions.
