Bulletin Summary
Some 2021 E-Series/F-650/F-750 vehicles may exhibit inoperative RKE key fobs resulting in key fob replacement or some customers may seek service to program additional key fobs to the vehicle. A new IDS procedure has been released with IDS version 119.01 to allow for RKE key fob programming. Start a vehicle session and click on the Toolbox Tab. Click on Body > Security > Remote Keyless Entry to begin programming new and/or additional key fobs. Only 4 RKE key fobs total can be programmed to each vehicle. All vehicles are equipped with a wired in connectivity device. If the customer elects to program this connectivity device it will take up 1 of the 4 available slots. The Workshop Manual procedure for RKE programming is also being updated.
About Technical Service Bulletins
A Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) is a document issued by a vehicle manufacturer to its dealers, describing a known issue with a specific vehicle or set of vehicles and the recommended procedure to fix it. Unlike recalls, TSBs are not mandatory and are typically only performed if an owner reports the related issue. However, TSBs can be an indicator of common problems with a vehicle.
