Ford Workshop Service and Repair Manuals

NOTE:This procedure is used when a customer needs keys programmed into the system and does not have two programmed ignition keys available. This procedure is also useful when programmed ignition key(s) have been lost or when the ignition lock cylinder has been replaced or when you are required to erase a key(s) from the passive anti-theft alarm system (PATS) memory. NOTE:This procedure will erase all programmed ignition keys from the vehicle memory and the vehicle will not start until two keys have been reprogrammed to the vehicle. NOTE:Two PATS encoded keys with the correct mechanical cut must be available to carry out this procedure. One or both of them may be the original keys. NOTE:If the remaining keys are with the customer and are not available with the vehicle, then instruct the customer to refer to the Owner's Manual under the Programming Spare PATS Key Procedure, for instructions on programming the remaining keys.
