Can I use the PTP3 to program new keys for an 09 escape? Came in on hook, B1602- PATS received invalid format of key code from ignition key transponder. Diagnostic flow chart states to have 2 new key blanks cut and program with appropriate software. Any suggestions on how I should proceed would be great. Thank you.

If my old $999 Earl Chive Port Freight 08 can program older Ford immobilizer keys without buying a subscription , then I think a Verus with software from 2015 or newer should offer immobilizer key programming for Ford. What if you drop 50 bucks for a 2 day sub and now the C@ck S@ckers require you to enter a LSID and your out $50 , just because you were itching to try out your new PTP3 ? -
You need LSID.you should also check around those years there wwas a tsb to reprogeam the cluster to make th fob part of the key work.Comment

It's not that hard to erase keys and add new ones. For that any snap-on tool can do it. You don't need IDS or any Programming to just add keys. If you were replacing a module, then you would DEF need IDS or any whatever the new system is called. Just use the Erase all keys option and follow instructions. You will need 2 keys. Good luckComment

Good luck! And it shouldn't be any problem unless the car has an anti-theft issue. If all it needs is to reprogram the anti-theft system, which requires 2 keys, then ur snap-on tool should be enough.Comment

I have two keys now but I am not seeing any menu options in my SO scan tool for relearning the keys. I navigated the menus in both the PATS and instrument cluster modules without finding any relearn options. Is this key relearn procedure in another module menu maybe? Sorry for all the hand-holding. This security stuff drives me nuts. Thank you.Comment

After Checking the options on all my tools. You are correct. I guess only older models it has the antitheft reset options. Newer models require a subscription from Ford.Comment

I check the function viewer on my Chinaman tablet and it shows PATS functions but doesn't definitively say program immobilizer keys.Comment

Back to my initial question, will my passthru pro III give me the access I need to reprogram the new key and original key that I have? Thank you?Last edited by Witsend; 01-25-2018, 10:57 AM.Comment

Matt, I think you should be able to do it with your PTP3 you'll just need a sub, be sure call drewtech support to confirm. I believe FMP allowed it but not sure as far with the new Ford J2534 app. What other scanners do you have?Comment

From what a member here wrote, only cars after 2016 require you to have a LSID. Older models don't require this. I can confirm this because I did an older model with FJDS and it didn't require or ask about a LSID. If you check here on the forums, you will find that post and a picture when the person tried to program a key to a 2016 Ford. It did require a LSID.Comment
