General Procedure

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-B .

NOTE: Two PATS keys with the correct mechanical cut must be available to carry out this procedure.

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.

Turn the key from the OFF position to the ON position.
From the scan tool, enter TOOLBOX. Select Body>Security>PATS Functions and follow the IDS onscreen instructions to enter PATS security access.
From the scan tool menu, select "Ignition Key Code Erase" and follow the IDS on-screen instructions until the key erase procedure completes. The scan tool then instructs you to program 2 keys to complete the process.
Turn the key to the OFF position and disconnect the scan tool (the key does not need to be removed from the ignition at this time).
NOTE: The doors lock and then unlock to confirm that each IKT is programmed.

Turn the first PATS key to the RUN position for a minimum of 6 seconds.
Turn the first PATS key to the OFF position and remove the key from the ignition.
Insert the second PATS key into the ignition and turn the key to the RUN position for a minimum of 6 seconds.
The engine should now start with both PATS keys.
If it is desired to program additional keys, refer to KEY PROGRAMMING USING TWO PROGRAMMED KEYS for each additional key that needs to be programmed.
1. A total of 8 PATS keys can be programmed into the BCM-B . Of those 8 keys, a maximum of 4 IKTs can be programmed.
