Theft Indicator; Spare Key Programming Procedure - Ford 1996 Mustang Manual

Theft Indicator

The indicator provides system proveout and
operating status. The system activates the
indicator when the ignition switch is placed in
the ON or START position. This indicator helps
to determine possible fault conditions and/or
normal operating proveout. The system will
illuminate the indicator for two (2) seconds then
go out to acknowledge normal operating
conditions. If the indicator does not illuminate at
key ON or flashes, have the system serviced.

Spare Key Programming Procedure

Two electronically coded keys were supplied
with your vehicle, use one of these with the
procedure below:
Using a coded key that you can start your
engine with, turn the ignition from the ON to
the OFF position.
Within 15 seconds, insert a new key into the
ignition and turn it to ON or START. The
vehicle does not have to be started.
If the key has been coded, the theft indicator
will illuminate for two seconds. The key can
then be used to start the vehicle.
Repeat until all chosen keys have been coded
(max=16).
If the key coding failed, the theft indicator will
flash and the vehicle cannot be started. One of 3
causes are possible:
The new key was not inserted within 15
seconds or
All 16 key codes have been stored or
The key does not have an electronic code
