Parameter Reset and Key Programming

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Lincoln LS. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE: The instrument cluster parameters must be reset upon installation of a new instrument cluster.
NOTE: Both passive anti-theft system (PATS) keys are needed to carry out this procedure.

To reset the instrument cluster parameters and program the keys, complete the following procedure:

  1. Connect the diagnostic tool.
  2. Select the instrument cluster.
  3. Select ENTER SECURITY ACCESS. Wait 10 minutes for security access to be granted.
  4. Select PARAMETER RESET.
  5. Disconnect the diagnostic tool.
  6. Place the first PATS key in the OFF position.
  7. Place the key in the ON position.
  8. Remove the key.
  9. Place the second PATS key in the ON position.
  10. Place the key in the OFF position (the programming sequence is complete).

NOTE: If the vehicle fails to start following completion of the parameter reset and key programming sequence, clear the keep alive memory (KAM) by disconnecting the battery for five minutes.
