Remote Entry Programming Procedure
2007 Ford Escape Base, 2.3 Z, FWD, AutomaticSECTION Remote Entry Programming Procedure
- Electronically unlock all doors prior to attempting to enter Remote Entry Programming Mode.
- Do not press brake pedal during manual Remote Entry programming procedure as it will immediately exit you from that mode. (This is to protect against confusion with TPMS learn mode.)
- If only one transmitter needs to be added or replaced, this can be accomplished via the diagnostic programming procedure using service tools (if supported) instead of erasing all transmitters from memory using the manual key cycle method.
- If no diagnostic programming procedure is available, gather ALL remote transmitters together and program them to the vehicle during same manual programming procedure. Otherwise, the unavailable transmitters will no longer be programmed to the vehicle. In this case, customers must be notified of this fact and told to refer to their Owner's Guide for proper programming procedures.NOTE: Upon successful programming of transmitters, all previously stored devices in memory get erased.
- In the service environment, enter program mode one vehicle at a time to avoid cross programming of transmitters. Ensure no other vehicle RKE activity is occurring while in this mode.WARNING: Some RKE systems can operate up to 164-230 ft. (50-70m) at certain points around the vehicle and thus transmitters from another vehicle can be inadvertently programmed.
- A transmitter does not require programming again upon a battery replacement.
- If any one button on a transmitter functions correctly, the device should not be reprogrammed.
- Reprogramming transmitters will not correct a vehicle experiencing poor range performance.
- Keep in mind, most systems only allow 4 devices to be programmed to the vehicle. For example, if a vehicle capable of accepting 4 transmitter devices is fitted with a wireless keypad, then it can only accept three other transmitter (key fob) devices.
- If both remote entry devices are inoperable, refer to appropriate HANDLES, LOCKS, LATCHES AND ENTRY SYSTEMS article.
