How to program remote keyless entry (RKE) transmitters and Key Fob on Ford Taurus?

The programming of remote keyless entry transmitters requires performing the operation with all participating transmitters at once. Start the programming by using remote keyless entry or keyless entry keypad or door lock control switch when the driver door remains open. The procedure to enter program mode starts with turning the key from OFF to RUN eight times during a 10-second period that ends in RUN position; successful entry will trigger the locking and unlocking of the vehicle doors. Use any button on each RKE transmitter to test programming by observing locking and unlocking of doors within a 20-second time frame. The transmitter will not respond to programming signals so wait several seconds before retrying. Whenever you cannot access the RKE features, inspect the locks, latches, entry systems and make sure not to exceed the maximum transmitter allowance. The key-turn to OFF signal or the passing of 20 seconds after entering program mode or programming completion of the maximum transmitter count triggers exit from programming mode.

The Key Fob on Ford Taurus serves as a wireless entry and security controller of the vehicle. With the help of a press of a button, the doors can lock or unlock, and the horn can be sounded. The Key Fob is a small compact unit containing a small chip and a radio transmitter with a short range. All these elements together with the battery send a coded signal to the car receiver. Each device activation sends a unique rolling code to the vehicle which is encrypted. This causes thieves to be unsuccessful as the code they grab will work only once. Further, rolling codes ensure that only the matching remote can trigger the functions. The standard configuration comprises three push buttons for lock, unlock, and horn-alarm, although some versions add as many as five buttons to include trunk release and remote engine start depending on the exact Ford Taurus trim which must be programmed correctly to work with the on-board system. The usual operational range is around 15 to 60 feet, providing easy access when your hands are full. The battery of the Key Fob usually lasts around three to four years, and a failing Key Fob shows dead battery, visible damage, and unresponsive commands, which indicates that a new Ford Taurus Key Fob is required for convenient day-to-day Ford Taurus use.
