Programming
The Mondeo's Remote Central Locking (Both Key Fob Types)
If
you need to re-program the ford remote control for any reason here
are the instructions for both the early style Mk1 Infra-Red Locking
and the later Radio-Frequency type. You can identify your type by
looking at the remote key, where the key shaft joins the plastic
key housing. If there is a little "glass eye" looking
out at the key then you have Infrared locking, if not then it's
radio frequency. Further
key details are available here
If
you are programming a new key for a car which contains a PATS immobiliser
then you may need to have a new immobiliser transmitter programmed
by Ford. If however you have a damaged/worn key with a removable
PATS transmitter then you can carefully remove the glass tube from
the old key and swap with the new key. Without
a PATS transmitter embedded in your key the new key will unlock
and lock the car but will be unable to start it.
Infrared
Programming Instructions:
- Put
your key into the ignition and turn to position 1 (Radio). After
approximately 10 seconds the red alarm control LED (next to the
clock) should illuminate. As soon as it comes on remove the key
from the ignition - the LED should remain lit.
- Point
the remote's "eye" at one of the front door sensors
and press the rear button until the light on the transmitter illuminates
(Keep the button pressed)
- With
the rear button held in press the front button 4 times then release
both at the same time. The control lights in both clock and fob
will flash 4 times to indicate programming complete.
-
Turn the ignition back on to exit programming mode

Radio
Frequency Programming Instructions:
-
Insert the ignition key and turn from position II (Ignition) to
position 0 (All off) and back four times within three seconds.
- Remove
the ignition key. The locking control system is now in "learn
mode" for the next 20 seconds and the red warning system
LED (By the clock) stays on continuously to indicate this.
- During
the 20 seconds press one of the transmitter buttons. The remotes
signal and code number is learned by the locking module and is
indicated by flashing the warning system LED.
- Wait
until learn mode times out (20 seconds) or switch the ignition
back to ON.

Two
Stage Unlocking:
Possible
on all Mk3 cars and some of the later model Mk2 cars with the 3
button remote, this method allows the drivers door to be unlocked
on its own with the rest of the doors remaining locked unless the
fob's unlock button is pressed a second time. You can switch between
modes at any time by following these instructions:
- With
both lock and unlock buttons depressed at the same time, wait
until the indicator lights flash once. When complete two stage
unlocking will be activated / deactivated accordingly.
Mk2
Key Upgrading:
If
you have a 2 button remote key you may be able to upgrade to a 3
button key quite easily. If you can hear a motor operating when
you press the release button on the boot then all you need to do
is buy a new 3 button key. This additional button allows remote
opening of the boot. The key sender part number is: 1132448 and
is around £30.63 from Ford - you also need to key shaft and
cutting which should be about £3 on top. They will try and
charge you another £30 for programming - don't take it and
follow the instructions listed here to save that money!
PATS
Programming:
Again
depending on the year of your car you may or may not need to have
PATS programmed to your module. PATS is the immobiliser system used
by Ford to safeguard your car from being started with a fake key.
It's wiring and operation is kept a close secret for obvious reasons
however should you need to program a key here are the instructions.
PATS
System I:
This
system uses a solid RED master key KEY
NUMBER SEVEN IN THE GUIDE without this key the system can not
accept new keys and will need to be taken to ford. To program a
new key:
- First
insert your red master key in the ignition and turn to position
II. When the control light (in clock/trip) illuminates turn the
ignition off and remove the key.
- After
approximately 2 seconds the control light illuminates again for
a short period.
- When
the control light goes out you have 10 seconds to program your
new key.
- Insert
the new key in the ignition and turn it to position II. The control
light illuminates to indicate a successful programming operation.
- Remove
the key.
PATS
System II:
This
system hasn't got a red key, instead it needs already programmed
keys to access programming mode.
- Insert
the first already programmed key into the ignition and turn to
position II
- Turn
back to 0 and remove the key
- Insert
the second already programmed key into the ignition and turn to
position II
- Turn
back to 0 and remove the key
- Key
programming mode is now activated and you have ten seconds to:
- Insert
the unprogrammed new key into the ignition and turn to position
II
- Turn
back to 0 and remove the key
- Allow
10 seconds to pass for the system to exit programming mode.
