Anti-Scan Feature
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2014 Ford F-150. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
To provide added security, the keyless entry keypad is disabled for 1 minute after pressing the button 35 times without a valid entry code being entered. The keypad flashes during this 1-minute mode with all functionality disabled except for buttons 7/8 and 9/0 still being allowed to lock the vehicle.
Anti-scan is turned off after any of the following events:
- One minute of keyless entry keypad inactivity has elapsed
- The RKE transmitter UNLOCK button is pressed
- The key is turned to the RUN position
