Anti-Scan Feature
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Ford Pickup, 2004 Ford F550 Super Duty, 2004 Ford F450 Super Duty, 2004 Ford Excursion, and 2004 Ford Cab & Chassis. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
To provide added security, the keyless entry keypad is disabled for one minute after 35 button presses without a valid entry code being entered. The keyless entry keypad will flash during this one-minute mode with all functionality disabled except for 7/8 and 9/0 still being allowed to lock the vehicle.
Anti-Scan will be turned off after any of the following events:
- one minute of keyless entry keypad inactivity
- the remote transmitter UNLOCK button is pressed (all Excursion and F-Super Duty vehicles built after 12/03)
- the key is turned to the ON position (all Excursion and F-Super Duty vehicles built after 12/03)
