How to Program a 2024 Ford Edge Ignition Smart Chip Key Transponder

Step by Step How to Programming Instructions:

Outlander with Regular Key or Remote Head Key System:

If your Outlander has a regular key or remote head key system, follow these instructions to add a key to the system. However, with the remote head key, this will only program the key portion, not the remote portion. You’ll need a locksmith to program the remote portion of the key. Not sure why they did that, but they did.

Note: You need two previously programmed working ignition keys to add a third key to the system. If you do not have two working keys, you will need to have a locksmith program a second key for you.

1. Get your new key cut to match your previously programmed keys.
2. Insert the first previously programmed key into the ignition and turn the key to the ON position (Do not start the engine) for 5 seconds, then turn it back to the OFF position and remove.
3. Insert the second previously programmed key into the ignition and turn the ignition to the ON position (Do not Start) until the immobilizer indicator light is flashing (within 10 seconds), then turn it back to the OFF position and remove. If an error occurs while the immobilizer light is flashing, the immobilizer light will go out; otherwise, it should keep flashing.
4. Within 30 seconds of the flashing indicator light, insert the new unprogrammed key into the ignition and turn it to the ON position (Do not Start). The immobilizer light should stay solid for about 3 seconds when programming is complete. You can then turn it back to the OFF position and remove. If an error occurs, the immobilizer light will flash 3 times, and then you must start over from the beginning.
5. The car should now start with the new key.
6. Repeat steps 1 through 5 for each additional new key.

If you have a Smart Key system, use the following instructions:

This vehicle is not onboard programmable and requires a qualified professional to program the ignition smart key.

3. The locksmith will then hook up specialized computer equipment to your vehicle in order to program the ignition smart key.
