Fusion FWD V6-3.0L (2009)
NOTE: If the programming procedure is successful, the new key(s) starts the vehicle and the anti-theft indicator proves-out for approximately 3 seconds.
If the programming procedure is not successful and the new key(s) does not start the engine, leave the key in the ON position for at least 3 seconds, then
turn the key off. Repeat the key programming procedure from Step 1. If the failure repeats, refer to Anti-Theft See: Accessories and Optional
Equipment/Antitheft and Alarm Systems/Testing and Inspection in the Diagnosis and Testing portion to review the DTCs and carry out the appropriate
pinpoint tests. See: Accessories and Optional Equipment/Antitheft and Alarm Systems/Testing and Inspection/Pinpoint Tests/Anti-Theft - Passive
Anti-Theft System (PATS)
NOTE: A minimum of 2 PATS keys must be programmed into the Instrument Cluster (IC) before the vehicle will starts.
NOTE: If the vehicle is in unlimited key mode, this spare key programming procedure still functions. Any 2 keys that can start the vehicle can be used to
program an additional unlimited key.
NOTE: If additional keys are to be programmed, and the remaining keys are with the customer, or are not available, instruct the customer to refer to the
Owner's Literature for instructions on programming the remaining keys. In this case, the PID SPAREKEY must be enabled.
NOTE: If the steps are not carried out as outlined, the programming procedure ends.
NOTE: Ignition keys must have a correct mechanical key cut for the vehicle and must be PATS encoded keys (contain a transponder). The key does not
have to be an IKT key.
NOTE: This procedure is not necessary if only the PATS transceiver was replaced. Replacement of the transceiver does not erase the PATS key codes in
the IC.
NOTE: A maximum of 8 ignition keys can be programmed to a PATS vehicle, of which up to 4 can be IKTs. If an attempt to program more than 4 IKTs
occurs, the Smart Junction Box (SJB) and the IC set a memory full DTC (B1138), and the additional IKTs will not have any Remote Keyless Entry
(RKE) function capability. If the vehicle is equipped with a message center, the IC displays the message INT KEY COULD NOT PROGRAM. The
PATS portion of the additional key will function, but the RKE transmitter function will be inoperative.
1. Insert a programmed ignition key (can be an IKT or a standard PATS key) into the ignition lock cylinder and turn the key from the OFF position to
the ON position.
2. Leave the key in the ON position for 3 seconds, but not longer than 10 seconds.
3. Turn the key to the OFF position and remove the first key.
4. Within 10 seconds of turning the key to the OFF position, insert a second programmed ignition key (can be an IKT or a standard PATS key) into
the ignition lock cylinder and turn the key from the OFF position to the ON position.
5. Leave the key in the ON position for 3 seconds, but not longer than 10 seconds.
6. Turn the key to the OFF position and remove the second key.
7. Within 20 seconds of turning the key to the OFF position, insert the unprogrammed ignition key (new PATS or IKT key) into the ignition lock
cylinder and turn the key from the OFF position to the ON position. Leave the key in the ON position for a minimum of 6 seconds (this additional
3 second time frame allows for the RKE data transfer to take place, if programming an IKT key).
8. NOTE: The new key will now start the vehicle and will also operate the RKE functions, if there are 4 or fewer IKT keys programmed to the
vehicle (if it is an IKT key).
Attempt to start the vehicle.
9. If additional programmed keys are desired, repeat Steps 1-7.
