Key Programming - Without Using 2 Programmed Keys

NOTE: This procedure is used when customer needs extra keys programmed and 2 programmed keys are not available but system has 2 ignition keys programmed. A maximum of 8 keys can be programmed. If 8 keys are already programmed, this procedure will not allow any more to be programmed. This procedure is also useful when attempting to determine if an ignition key is defective, as a new key can be installed without erasing keys. Number of programmed keys can be determined by accessing PCM PID NUMKEYS with NGS tester.

Insert unprogrammed key into ignition and turn ignition switch to ON position. Connect New Generation Star (NGS) tester into Data Link Connector (DLC). Insert Ford Service Function (FSF) card into NGS tester. Perform security access procedure. See KEY PROGRAMMING - SECURITY ACCESS PROCEDURE  . Select IGNITION KEY CODE PROGRAM. Turn ignition switch to OFF position. Disconnect NGS tester. Key should now be programmed and be able to start vehicle.
