Programming a New Keypad Code on Your 2015 Ford F150 (Standard Method)

This method is applicable to all 2015 Ford F150 models and is the primary way to program or change your keyless entry code. Before you begin, ensure you have your factory-set keyless entry code. This code is usually found on a card in your owner’s manual or on a sticker in your glove compartment. You’ll also need to decide on a new 5-digit personal code that you’ll easily remember.

Here’s how to program a new code:

  1. Start by Locking All Doors: Make sure all doors on your 2015 Ford F150 are securely closed and locked.
  2. Enter the Factory Code: Using the keypad on your driver’s side door, carefully enter the factory-set 5-digit code.
  3. Press the 1/2 Button: Within five seconds of entering the factory code, press the “1/2” button on the keypad.
  4. Enter Your New Personal Code: Within five seconds of the doors unlocking and then locking again (this confirms the system is ready for a new code), enter your desired new 5-digit personal code.
  5. Confirmation: Wait for the confirmation signal. The doors will unlock and then lock again to indicate that your 2015 Ford F150 has accepted the new key code.
  6. Test Your New Code: Immediately test your new code to ensure it has been successfully programmed. Lock the doors and then use your new 5-digit code to unlock them.

If you encounter any issues, double-check that you are entering the codes correctly and within the specified timeframes. If problems persist, consult your owner’s manual or contact a Ford dealership.
