WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2014 Ford Escape. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

module, the ignition cannot be turned ON until a parameter reset is performed and 2 keys are programmed to the vehicle. The RFA
module still communicates with the scan tool with the ignition OFF. Use the previous scan tool session or start a scan tool session using the PCM
part number or tear tag.
- To install, reverse the removal procedure.
