How to Program a 2019 Ford Taurus Ignition Smart Chip Key Transponder
Step by Step How to Programming Instructions:
If your Ford Taurus is equipped with the remote/key combo system, follow these step-by-step instructions. Ensure you have two previously programmed keys. If you have only one programmed key, you may need to enlist the help of a professional. Otherwise, follow these steps:
1. Insert the first previously programmed key into the ignition.
2. Turn the ignition from off to on. Keep the ignition on for at least three seconds but no more than ten seconds.
3. Switch the ignition off and remove the first programmed key.
4. After three seconds but within ten seconds of switching the ignition off, insert the second previously programmed key into the ignition.
5. Turn the ignition from off to on. Keep the ignition on for at least three seconds but no more than ten seconds.
6. Switch the ignition off and remove the second previously programmed key.
7. After three seconds but within ten seconds of switching the ignition off and removing the previously programmed key, insert the new unprogrammed key into the ignition.
8. Turn the ignition from off to on. Keep the ignition on for at least six seconds.
9. Remove the newly programmed key from the ignition. If the key has been successfully programmed, it will start the engine and operate the remote entry system (if the new key is an integrated key head transmitter). If it was not programmed successfully, wait 10 seconds and repeat Steps 1 through 8.
For Ford Taurus vehicles with the smart key system:
Please note that this vehicle is not onboard programmable and requires a qualified professional to program the smart key remote fobs. Follow these steps:

2. If your vehicle is still mobile, it may save you money by driving to the locksmith instead of having them come to you.
3. The locksmith will then hook up specialized computer equipment to your vehicle in order to program the smart key remote fob.
