SPECIAL TOOL DESCRIPTION CHART

G06064936Courtesy of FORD MOTOR CO.
 Vehicle Communication Module (VCM) and Integrated Diagnostic System (IDS) software with appropriate hardware, or equivalent scan tool
NOTE: The spare key programming switch is a programmable switch which provides the capability to enable/disable the normal customer spare key programming procedure detailed in the Owner's Literature. It must read ENABLE if more than 2 keys need to be programmed into the Instrument Cluster (IC). For additional information, refer to KEY PROGRAMMING USING TWO PROGRAMMED KEYS . This programmable switch is provided as a convenience for rental company fleets or other fleet purchasers who may not want the spare key programming procedure available to the vehicle driver.
NOTE: The spare key programming switch state can be viewed with the IC  SPAREKEY PID.
NOTE: If the SPAREKEY PID reads ENABLE, up to 8 keys total can be programmed into the IC  using KEY PROGRAMMING USING TWO PROGRAMMED KEYS . If the SPAREKEY PID reads DISABLE, the Key Programming Using Two Programmed Keys procedure does not function. This PID only affects the Key Programming Using Two Programmed Keys procedure.
    NOTE: The key used in this step does not have to be an Integrated Keyhead Transmitter (IKT) key. A conventional Passive Anti-Theft System (PATS) key can also be used, as long as it has first been successfully programmed to this vehicle.
  1. Insert a programmed PATS IKT  key into the ignition lock cylinder and 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 .
    3. NOTE: The default setting on delivery of all new vehicles is ENABLE, when viewing the IC  SPAREKEY PID.
  3. From the scan tool menu select: "Customer Spare Key Programming Enable" and follow the IDS  on-screen instructions in order to complete the procedure.
    • "Customer Spare Key Programming Enable" - spare key programming procedure is accessible.
    • "Customer Spare Key Programming Disable" - spare key programming procedure is not accessible.
