Expedition 2WD V8-5.4L (2009)
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).
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: When in the unlimited key mode (after the first 2 keys have been programmed to the vehicle), the N_KEYCODE PID will always read 2, no
matter how many keys are programmed to the vehicle.
1. Insert the first programmed key into the ignition lock cylinder and turn the key from the OFF position to the ON position (maintain the key in the
ON position for a minimum of 3 seconds and less than 10 seconds).
2. Turn the key to the OFF position and remove the key from the ignition lock cylinder.
3. Within 5 seconds of turning the key to the OFF position, insert the second programmed key into the ignition lock cylinder and turn the key from
the OFF position to the ON position (maintain the key in the ON position for a minimum of 3 seconds and less than 10 seconds).
4. Turn the key to the OFF position and remove the key from the ignition lock cylinder.
5. Within 10 seconds of turning the key to the OFF position, insert the unprogrammed key (the new key) into the ignition lock cylinder and turn the
key from the OFF position to the ON position, maintaining the key in the ON position for a minimum of 6 seconds (the additional 3 second time
frame allows for the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) data transfer to take place, if programming an Integrated Keyhead Transmitter (IKT) key).
6. Start the vehicle with the new key(s).
7. If it is desired to program additional key(s) (only up to 8 keys total can be programmed into the IC), repeat Steps 1-5 for each additional key that
needs to be programmed.
Spare Key Programming - Unlimited Key Mode
Spare Key Programming - Unlimited Key Mode
Enabling Unlimited Key Mode
NOTE: Unlimited key mode is intended for use by those customers who need more than 8 keys for their vehicle.
NOTE: Before programming, the new key(s) must have the correct mechanical cut for the ignition lock cylinder(s).
NOTE: The unlimited key mode is set up by creating a special, unique unlimited transponder security key code and programming this key code into all
of the vehicle keys so they contain the same key code.
NOTE: When in the unlimited key mode (after the first 2 keys have been programmed to the vehicle), the N_KEYCODE PID will always read 2, no
matter how many keys are programmed to the vehicle.
1. The customer must choose an 8-digit number (except for 00000000 or 00000001) to be programmed to all of their vehicles keys (or, to all of the
keys they want programmed to one vehicle). All customer vehicles keys (or all keys for one vehicle) need to use the same number. Valid digits are
0-9 and the letters A-F.
