Thanks I'm going to order that OBDLink EX and download the Forscan software on my laptop and give this a try. I replaced the PCM on my 2000 F150 and need to do a parameter reset. I only have one key but ordered a blank transponder style that I'll have cut before running the program. That's my plan, fingers crossed!
@@goromadness9755 yes I was. I ordered the OBDLink EX off Amazon, it’s the one for 59.95. Then I paid like $5 for the Forscan that I downloaded to my laptop. I think I ordered a blank ford key also from Amazon. I watched a couple videos and stuff I don’t remember exactly how I did it but once I had the scanner in the program download it and everything it worked like a charm. Still going strong with no issue now
I also need to replace my pcm. How were you able to make the new pcm work with the forscan? I’m not sure if I need to have someone else flash it or if I can do what I need on my own with a junkyard pcm
@@MrWontstopthefunk I ordered a new one from Protech auto systems out of Florida, essentially preflashed. Call them they’ll make sure they get you what you need and can give you some direction on the process. I paid $250. I searched a lot for a reputable place and glad I went with them. I still don’t remember exactly how I did it but Forscan was a must for programming the key. I think it ended up working with my original key and not the new key I bought, but I still had to run some processes in Forscan for the original key to work with the new pcm. Lots of googling and TH-cam and Once I plugged in the new brain, did some widgets in Forscan, it worked first try. I tried starting it just putting in the pcm but no-go. Fiddled with Forscan after watching TH-cam and it started right up and been running perfect since.
So if I wanted to program 2 new keys to a PCM for a car where I lost the keys I would need to erase the old keys and program 2 new blank keys to it and it only works if I have 2 keys to program? I have 2 blanks coming in but have no original keys
I need to replace my PCM. 2004 crown Victoria. I’m planning on likely junkyard pcm. Can I use the forscan software to do everything I need to do or is there more involved?
hi there i have downloaded forscan because i need another key prorammed ,the only trouble is , i have got the immobillizer flashing,so if i get another key cut when it comes to waiting for new key to be programmed the ignition will be turned off,but if i turn ignition back on,the immobillizer starts again,it takes hundreds of turns with the key to get it going again what i have done is delete my only key,so when i press the clutch down car wont start
I have 2 cards for mazda cx 9 from 2008. I have a problem with keyless go. Once it works fine and in a moment I have to start the car with a metal key. The key flashes red while driving. Not when the immo is flashing and I can't start the car. I suspect that it is the keyless module or the fault of one of the antennas. Can I use a forscan to reprogram my cards? Is it safe?
Hi Sir. Do I have to have a new blank key to do this or I can do it with my 2 Keys ( booth keys ar restricted to MY_KEY)? Could you help me please? Thank you
Hi very good tutorial, but I have a different problem. I have two PCM's both are configurated with my VIN but when I swap to the old one where I have more HP I cant start the engine. Is it enough that I will do a module initialization and it will start my old PCM. Cuz what I understand IPC is not sync with PCM. My worries are that I have only one key but 2 are programmed., I've lost one. My car is Ford Focus mk3 ST 2016 with keyless system.Can you give my an advice I will be more than glad.
Great video sir!! Sir I have a 2014 mustang that I installed a new engine into I also had to buy a new pcm bc the pcm got broke in a wreck. The pcm does match the old one!! I have one key to that mustang can I buy a new key have it cut and follow your video? Thank you!!💯👍
Yes. As long as you have 2 keys that are the correct type and turn in the ignition. The keys don't have to be the original keys that came with the car.
That forscan, is it just free to download and you have to pay to use (license) or is it all around free (license and all)? I've seen mixed answers and would like to know. If paid, how long do the licenses last?
Free to download and the maker gives you 2 months free. After the free trial you need an extended license but not costly like others out there. 1 year - $10 3 years - $20 5 years - $30 lifelong - $50
@Fabian Almeida thought of it myself recently but they've since gotten rid of the lifetime one... and I never got a response to a second "3 month trial" license, probably denied.
I have Ford territory 2004 sx, I had to take out radio to install upper storage bin, which had been broken, I stupidly left key in ignition, which I think erases it. I tried starting engine and it wouldn’t start twice, then the third time it did, however it doesn’t rotate back to ignition once the engine has been ignited, I need to manually rotate it back (I think I broke the switch, which I’m replacing and fixing myself). Once that’s done would I need to reprogram that key? I’m guessing yes.. can I follow this tutorial fir that one key? I have a laptop
You will have to have 2 keys to delete and reprogram new keys from the start. You can't get around that even at the dealer. It doesn't matter if the 2 keys haven't been programmed to the car before. As long as it's the correct Pats key and turns in the ignition before you start it will work out. It doesn't have to start the vehicle before the reprograming.
@@ecobeastbuildsandmods4626 unfortunately it was second hand car and I didn’t get 2 keys! However I look on internet and i needed to lock, unlock door (hold for 20-30 secs) and it reprogrammed the key!! When I did it the first time I broke the opposite switch metal pry and got it fixed! Now everything’s fine 😊 However what’s the best way to get more keys? Coz I’ve only got one now 🙃
Awesome video, I have a 2016 ecoboost premium I bought it used a few weeks ago an only got one smart fob so I bought one on eBay I received it today and my obdlink ex comes tomorrow. Will I be able to program my new fob like this? Thanks in advance 👍
Seems anything 15.5(16) or newer you cannot access the PATS which means you have to use the dealer or locksmith. Just tried on my 16 F150 and PATS was no where to be found.
You need to have a second programable key. Get an uncut key on either Amazon or Ebay and have a local lock smith cut the key. To program the new key plus the old key just follow the video. It will delete any current keys programmed to the car. You have to have 2 keys to do this, the car won't let you otherwise.
@@MadelineMetzger I found forscan doesn’t support pats for mg 2017 Ford Focus se had to buy a vcx nano for Fords and download IDS v121 and use the IDS patch to use it free.
@@thestateofreal2533 So did you delete admin keys and program new keys. In other words did you just add a key or did you first delete all keys then add keys?
@EcoBeast Builds and Mods Can you reprogram your old keys on the same vehicle? I have two keys programmed before and i have no admin key. I tried to use same keys again but something goes wrong. Any Idea?
I find it's easier to program the 2 keys first then use the spare key program option below the erase and reprogram option. Did you have 2 keys that turn in the ignition when you started the reprogramming? The keys don't have to be ones that were already programmed before.
@@ecobeastbuildsandmods4626 I have a standard key which I used before (it doesnt work anymore after I remove mykey, just i can turn ignition on) Then, I purchased two programmable key from Ebay ( exactly like yours) and did not do anything yet. I wonder, Should I use new purchased key during reprogramming? Or I have to use old key?
@@DVRNGL The first time I programmed the old key and 1 new key. Since I was testing to see if the flip key would work. I then cleaned all the keys and programed just the new keys.
Is it possible to use Forscan to reprogram old ford keys to work with another car? For instance I have a Ford Transit Connect and I only have one key, but I have 2 old ford mondeo keys that looks identical. Can I reprogram my mondeo keys to work with my transit?
The gauge cluster comes with track apps but you’ll need to go into the IPC and change some coding to get it to work if it’s not on once you program the cluster, but if you do it yourself with forscan and get a cluster from eBay it should already have track apps and mycolor without having to change the coding
I’m having issues all over. I’m trying to program a new pcm but when I go to config/program click on PCM module configuration (as built format), hit run service, it throws the warning about changing configurations is not safe and have a ABD backup, click ok, it loads to 50% and says service procedure has been interrupted and it won’t go any further. Any help would be great. I’m lost.

I would advise temporally install the new cluster first to make sure it functions correctly. I programmed the new keys to the new cluster first and then the original cluster. That way I could still turn on the car until the replacement cluster mileage was corrected. Also the company I sent my cluster in need to know what the mileage was on the replacement cluster.
