Key Programming Using Diagnostic Equipment

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: If 8 keys are already programmed, this procedure does not allow any more PATS  keys to be programmed without erasing all stored key codes first.
  1. Insert the unprogrammed PATS  key into the ignition key cylinder and turn the ignition key cylinder to RUN.
  2. From the scan tool, enter TOOLBOX. Select Body>Security>PATS Functions and follow the IDS  onscreen instructions to enter PATS  security access.
  3. From the scan tool menu select "Program additional ignition key" and follow the IDS  on-screen instructions.
  4. The engine should now start with the new PATS  key.
