Erase All Keys and Program Two Keys

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2013 Ford Explorer. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE: This procedure erases all programmed ignition keys from the vehicle memory. The vehicle cannot start until a minimum of 2 keys are programmed into the BCM  .
NOTE: This procedure erases all MyKey® features on all of the keys that are programmed to the vehicle. All of the keys then operate as normal (admin) keys with no restrictions.
NOTE: To enter PATS  security access if no programmed IA  keys are available, start a vehicle session using a tear tag or PCM  part number. PATS  security access can still be granted even with the ignition off.
  1. From the scan tool, enter TOOLBOX. Select BODY>SECURITY>PATS Functions and follow the IDS  on-screen instructions to PATS  security access.
  2. From the scan tool menu, select "Ignition Key Code Erase" and follow the IDS  on-screen instructions until the key erase procedure completes.
  3. All keys are now erased. Leave the scan tool connected and program 2 keys. REFER to KEY PROGRAMMING USING DIAGNOSTIC EQUIPMENT .
