Check MyKey(TM) System Status
1. The vehicle system check provides the status of the following MyKey(TM) parameters:
-
MYKEY DISTANCE - This odometer only tracks mileage when a MyKey(TM) is used. If mileage does not accumulate, the intended
MyKey(TM) is not being used or the IC is at fault. The only way to reset this odometer to zero is by disabling the MyKey(TM). If this
odometer is lower than the last time it was checked, the MyKey(TM) system has been cleared. If desired, it may be necessary to program the
MyKey(TM) restricted features into the key.
-
# MYKEY(S) PROGRAMMED - Indicates how many MyKeys(TM) are programmed to the vehicle. It can also be used to determine if a
MyKey(TM) has been disabled.
-
# ADMIN KEYS PROGRAMMED - Indicates how many admin keys are programmed to the vehicle. It can also be used to determine if an
additional spare key has been programmed to the vehicle.

MyKey(TM) System Status to determine if this is the case.
NOTE: The MyKey(TM) system is not compatible with non-Ford approved aftermarket remote start systems. If a Ford approved remote start system is
installed on the vehicle and it is started using the remote start, the vehicle stalls if a door is opened or if the vehicle is shifted into gear. The driver must
insert their key into the ignition lock cylinder, cycle the ignition to the ON position and drive the vehicle with the MyKey(TM) restrictions that are
programmed into their MyKey(TM). If the remote start system is a non-Ford approved system, the vehicle may not stall when a door is opened or the
vehicle is shifted into gear. If the remote start system has not been programmed as a MyKey(TM) and the driver is a MyKey(TM) driver, the driver could
