Ford vehicles like the Ford F-150 come with transponder key technology, allowing you to electronically program them to start your engine. After programming, only one smart key or chip key can be used to start your engine. You can quickly reset these anti-theft keys from the driver's seat and use the new codes right away. Resetting a key requires the presence of two initially programmed keys to complete the process. To initiate this, press the key down for 30 seconds, signaling to the system that you possess the correct key and enabling you to bypass the vehicle's alarm system.
