Check MyKey™ System Status

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2011 Ford Pickup, 2011 Ford F550 Super Duty, 2011 Ford F450 Super Duty, and 2011 Ford Cab & Chassis. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The vehicle system check provides the status of the following MyKey™ parameters:

MYKEY DISTANCE - This odometer only tracks mileage when a MyKey™ is used. If mileage does not accumulate, the intended MyKey™ is not being used. The only way to reset this odometer to zero is by disabling the MyKey™. If this odometer is lower than the last time it was checked, the MyKey™ system has been cleared.
MYKEY(S) PROGRAMMED - Indicates how many MyKeys™ are programmed to the vehicle. It can also be used to determine if a MyKey™ has been cleared.
ADMIN KEYS PROGRAMMED - Indicates how many admin keys are programmed to the vehicle. It can also be used to determine if an additional spare key has been programmed to the vehicle.

Refer to the Owner's Literature for information on accessing the MyKey system status in the message center.

Using MyKey™ with Aftermarket Remote Start System

When using an aftermarket remote start system, the default settings recognize the remote start system as an additional admin key. If the remote start system has not been programmed as a MyKey™ and the driver is a MyKey™ driver, the driver could drive the vehicle using the remote start system as an admin key with no MyKey™ restrictions. If requested by the customer to resolve this concern, the aftermarket remote start system needs to be programmed as a MyKey™. For information on programming the aftermarket remote start system as a MyKey™, refer to MYKEY® PROGRAMMING ..
