Mountaineer 2WD V8-4.6L (2010)
programmed into the Instrument Cluster (IC).
NOTE: A minimum of 2 PATS keys must be programmed into the IC before the vehicle starts.
NOTE: Two PATS encoded (contains a transponder) keys with the correct mechanical cut must be available to carry out this procedure. One or both of
them may be the customer's original keys.
NOTE: If additional keys are to be programmed, 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. If the
remaining keys are with the customer and are not available with the vehicle, 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: 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.
1. Turn the 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. From the scan tool menu select: "Ignition Key Code Erase" and follow the IDS on-screen instructions.
4. Turn the key to the OFF position and disconnect the scan tool.
5. Insert the first PATS key into the ignition lock cylinder and turn the key to the ON position for 3 seconds.
6. Turn the first PATS key to the OFF position and remove the key from the ignition lock cylinder.
7. Insert the second PATS key into the ignition lock cylinder and turn the key to the ON position for 3 seconds.
8. The vehicle should now start with both PATS ignition keys.
9. If it is desired to program additional key(s) (only up to 8 keys total can be programmed into the IC), 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 that needs to be programmed.
Key Programming Using Two Programmed Keys
Key Programming Using Two Programmed Keys
NOTE: This procedure only works if 2 or more programmed ignition keys are available. If 2 programmed keys are not available, refer to Key
Programming Using Diagnostic Equipment See: Accessories and Optional Equipment/Antitheft and Alarm Systems/Testing and
Inspection/Programming and Relearning/Key Programming Using Diagnostic Equipment.
NOTE: The Instrument Cluster (IC) PID SPAREKEY must be enabled for this procedure to operate. If this IC PID is not enabled, refer to Key
Programming Switch State Control See: Accessories and Optional Equipment/Antitheft and Alarm Systems/Testing and Inspection/Programming and
Relearning/Key Programming Switch State Control, then select SPAREKEY programming switch; ENABLED. The IC PID SPAREKEY is set to
ENABLE when the vehicle is built.
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 in the Diagnosis and Testing
to review the DTCs and carry out the appropriate pinpoint tests. See: Accessories and Optional Equipment/Antitheft and Alarm Systems/Testing and
Inspection
NOTE: A maximum of 8 Passive Anti-Theft System (PATS) keys can be programmed into the IC during this programming procedure, but only if the IC
PID SPAREKEY is set to ENABLE.
NOTE: A minimum of 2 PATS keys must be programmed into the IC before the vehicle 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
