How to Program a 2017 Ford F250-F350-F450-F550 Super Duty Ignition Smart Chip Key Transponder
Step by Step How to Programming Instructions:
If your Ford F150 is equipped with the flip key system, you can follow these instructions to program up to eight keys to your vehicle. To program a key yourself, you’ll need two previously programmed keys. If you have only one programmed key, you can rent a programmer here. Make sure to read and understand the entire procedure before starting.
1. Insert the first previously programmed key into the ignition and turn the ignition from the OFF position to the ON position (keep it in the ON position for at least one second, but no more than 10 seconds).
2. Turn the ignition from the ON position back to the OFF position to remove the first programmed key.
3. After three seconds but within 10 seconds of removing the first programmed key, insert the second previously programmed key into the ignition and turn the ignition from the OFF position to the ON position (maintain it in the ON position for at least one second but no more than 10 seconds).
4. Turn the ignition from the ON position back to the OFF position to remove the second programmed key from the ignition.
5. After three seconds but within 10 seconds of removing the second programmed key, insert the new unprogrammed key (new key/valet key) into the ignition and turn the ignition from the OFF position to the ON position (maintain it in the ON position for at least one second, but no more than 10 seconds). This step will program your new key to a programmed key.
6. To program additional new unprogrammed keys, repeat Steps 1 through 5. If successful, the new programmed key(s) will start the vehicle’s engine and operate the remote functions.
If your Ford F150 has the smart key system, follow these instructions:
You must have two previously programmed intelligent access keys inside your vehicle and the new unprogrammed intelligent access keys readily accessible. Make sure your vehicle is off before beginning this procedure. Close all the doors before starting and ensure they remain closed throughout the procedure. Perform all steps within 30 seconds of starting the sequence. Stop and wait for at least one minute before starting again if you perform any steps out of sequence. Read and understand the entire procedure before beginning.
1. Place the first programmed key in the backup slot in the center console, then press the push-button ignition switch. Insert the first previously programmed coded key into the ignition.
2. Wait five seconds and then press the push-button ignition switch again. Switch the ignition from off to on. Keep the ignition on for at least three seconds, but no more than 10 seconds.
3. Remove the intelligent access key. Switch the ignition off and remove the first coded key from the ignition.
4. Within 10 seconds, place a second programmed intelligent access key in the backup slot. Press the push-button ignition switch. After three seconds but within 10 seconds of switching the ignition off, insert the second previously coded key into the ignition.
5. Wait five seconds and then press the push-button ignition switch again. Switch the ignition from off to on. Keep the ignition on for at least three seconds, but no more than 10 seconds.
6. Remove the intelligent access key. Switch the ignition off and remove the second previously programmed coded key from the ignition.
7. Place the unprogrammed intelligent access key in the backup slot and press the push-button ignition switch. After three seconds but within 10 seconds of switching the ignition off and removing the previously programmed coded key, insert the new unprogrammed key into the ignition. Programming is now complete. Verify the remote control functions operate and your vehicle starts with the new intelligent access key. If programming was not successful, wait 10 seconds and repeat Steps 1 through 7.
