Normal Operation

When the MyKey™ is used to operate the vehicle, the feature restricts several of the vehicle functions in order to promote good driving practices for the MyKey™ driver. Chimes sound and the audio system mutes if the safety belt is unbuckled. If the vehicle is low on fuel, chimes sound. Specific driver assistant functions are not allowed to be turned off, if configured by the MyKey™ feature. The audio volume can be configured to a limited value. Vehicle speed can be limited and chimes can be configured to sound when specific speeds are attained. The control functions for the MyKey™ feature are contained in the Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC). The IPC  initiates the key interrogation sequence of the MyKey™ when the ignition is turned to the ON or START position. If a key is inserted into the ignition lock cylinder (if equipped with an Intelligent Access (IA) system, if the vehicle is started using the push button start) and either a MyKey™ menu does not appear in the message center and/or the MyKey™ with restricted status cannot be configured or disabled, it may be due to one of the possible causes listed below.

NOTE: The remote start system may or may not be programmed to a MyKey™ restricted key status. If it is not programmed to a MyKey™ restricted key status, the IPC  recognizes it as the last possible remaining admin key. If it is programmed to a MyKey™ restricted key status and the vehicle is remote started, the IPC  displays the MyKey™ welcome message. In this case, the key that is inserted into the ignition lock cylinder (for IA  vehicles, the IA  key that is inside the vehicle) may be mistaken for a MyKey™. This can only occur if the remote start system is non-Ford approved. If it is Ford approved, the vehicle stalls as soon as a door is opened or the vehicle is shifted into gear, causing the driver to insert their key and cycle it to the ON position (for IA  vehicles, with the IA  key inside the vehicle and the ignition is turned to the ON position).

This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:
