FORD CODED ACCESS
INTRODUCTION
The Ford coded access system was introduced in the year 2002, and the first vehicle that
had this system was the FORD KA.
The system replaces the TIMED ACCESS, which was first used in 1994.
The new system replaces the TIMED ACCESS countdown timer with a security algorithm
which will display an outcode when you try to program keys. This outcode needs converting
and an incode is required.
Advanced Diagnostics have developed a system which uses this incode and outcode sys-
tem, however the way the system works means that it is not 100% accurate and some vehi-
cles cannot be programmed until the codes have been checked.
The system uses an internet system as described on the following pages, and requires web
access when you are at the vehicle, Advanced Diagnostics Forum access and a valid
AD100, MVP, TCODE, Codeseeker or DM100 serial number and passcode to use the sys-
tem.
