The Autel MaxiIM IM608 PRO is a powerful key programming tool capable of programming keys for a wide range of vehicles, including the Ford Fusion. This guide provides a step-by-step walkthrough on how to program all keys lost for a 2017-2019 Ford Fusion using the Autel Fusion Key Program functionality of the IM608 PRO. You will need two blank keys to begin this process.
Programming Procedure
-
Connect to the Vehicle: Connect the Autel VCI to the OBDII port located under the steering column. Connect the J2534 to the IM608 PRO. In the VCI Manager on the IM608 PRO, ensure both devices are paired.
-
Navigate to Ford Fusion Key Programming: On the IM608 PRO, follow this navigation path: IMMO >> Accept >> Ford >> Manual Selection >> Ford >> USA >> Fusion >> 2017-2019 >> Smart Key >> Yes >> Control Unit >> Keyless System (CAN) >> Key Learning >> All Smart Keys Lost.
- Confirm Key Erasure: The system will inform you that all learned keys will be deleted. Confirm by selecting “OK” and answer “No” to the question “Is the alarm active?”. The system will then begin configuration, which takes approximately 10 minutes.
- Erase Existing Keys: Select “Yes” to clear all keys. The device will display the number of learned keys and then erase them.
- Program New Keys: Place the first blank key into the designated key slot (usually in the armrest box, cup holder, or glove box). The system will then learn the key. Repeat this process for the second key.
- Test Keys: After programming, test both keys by ensuring they lock and unlock the vehicle doors.
Important Considerations
- Internet Connection: This Autel Fusion key program function requires a stable internet connection. Ensure your IM608 PRO is connected to Wi-Fi.
- Instrument Panel: It is normal for the instrument panel to go black during the programming process.
- Two Keys Required: You must program two keys for the vehicle to start.
