Step-by-Step Programming Instructions:

These instructions are applicable if your Ford Taurus is equipped with the remote/key combo system. You will need two previously programmed keys and the new unprogrammed key accessible. If you only have one working key, you’ll need a locksmith to program a second key or purchase a programmer.

1. Insert the first previously programmed key into the ignition.
2. Turn the ignition from off to on. Keep it on for at least three seconds, but no more than ten seconds.
3. Turn the ignition off and remove the first programmed key.
4. After three seconds but within ten seconds of turning the ignition off, insert the second previously programmed key into the ignition.
5. Turn the ignition from off to on. Keep it on for at least three seconds, but no more than ten seconds.
6. Turn the ignition off and remove the second previously programmed key.
7. After three seconds but within ten seconds of turning 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 it 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 it’s an integrated key head transmitter). If not successful, wait ten seconds and repeat Steps 1 through 8.

These instructions are for the smart key system in your Ford Taurus:

Note: You can program a maximum of four smart keys to your vehicle. You must have two previously programmed keys and the new unprogrammed key accessible. If you don’t have two previously programmed keys, you’ll need a locksmith to cut and program a second key. Ensure the vehicle is off before starting the procedure. All doors must be closed before and throughout the procedure. Perform all steps within 30 seconds of starting the sequence. If any steps are performed out of sequence, wait at least one minute before starting again. Please read and understand the entire procedure before beginning.

1. Place the new unprogrammed Smart Key in the pocket inside the center console utility compartment.
2. Press the driver or passenger power door unlock control three times.
3. Press and release the brake pedal once.
4. Press the driver or passenger power door lock control three times.
5. Press and release the brake pedal once. The indicator on the Start/Stop button should begin to rapidly flash, indicating programming mode has been entered and two programmed Smart Keys have been detected in the vehicle.
6. Within one minute, press the start/stop button. A message will be displayed on the message center indicating that the new Smart Key was programmed. If four Smart Keys have already been programmed to your vehicle, you cannot program any more, and the message “MAX # OF KEYS LEARNED” will be displayed on the message center.
7. Remove Smart Key from utility compartment pocket and press the lock or control on the newly programmed Smart Key to exit programming mode.
8. Verify that the remote entry functions operate (lock, unlock) and that the vehicle starts with the new Smart Key.
