Remote Keyless Entry (RKE): Notes

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2012 Ford Pickup. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The RKE system uses an Integrated Keyhead Transmitter (IKT). The IKT incorporates both the Passive Anti-Theft System (PATS) functions and the RKE transmitter functions in a single device.

The RKE transmitter is programmed automatically during PATS programming. During PATS programming, the BCM obtains the Transmitter Identification Code (TIC) from the IKT.

The BCM accepts programming of up to 4 IKTs. In addition to the IKTs, 4 conventional keyfobs can also be programmed to the vehicle if requested by the customer. For information on programming the IKTs, refer to the key programming procedures in ANTI-THEFT - PASSIVE ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM (PATS) . Refer to Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) Transmitter Programming for keyfob programming information.
