2023 Ford Explorer Smart Key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional
Channel Islands Beach resident called about his 2023 Explorer. Push-to-start wouldn't recognize the key half the time. He'd already tried the battery swap dance.
I pulled up TSB 22-2358 on my tablet right there in his driveway. Ford knows about this. The bulletin covers 2020-2023 Explorers with intermittent key detection issues. Sometimes it's the Body Control Module getting confused, not the key failing.
First, I tested his M3N-A2C931426 fob with my frequency counter. Solid 902 MHz signal, buttons responsive, CR2450 reading 3.1 volts. The key was fine. Next step was checking if the BCM needed that reset procedure from the TSB.
Connected my diagnostic tool, ran the BCM reset sequence. Takes about eight minutes total with the countdown timer Ford builds in. While we waited, he mentioned the dealer wanted to sell him a new key for north of $400, plus diagnostic fees.
After the reset, we tested everything. Start button recognized the fob instantly. Remote start worked from across the driveway. Door handle touch sensors back to normal. No new key needed, just the right fix for a known issue.
He asked if this would happen again. Maybe. The TSB exists because it's common enough. But now he knows it might not be the key next time either.

“I had two Subaru key fobs made and Marco provided excellent service. He stayed persistent through multiple part orders to make sure everything was correct. Very thorough, punctual, and great communication throughout.”
“Tim went above and beyond. I struggled all day trying to program a new FOB and nothing worked. Tim helped me patiently, even recommending cheaper options since I was on a tight budget. He eventually came all the way to Ojai late at night and fixed everything.”
“My key fob stopped working while I was at Oxnard Harbor and I thought I was going to need a tow. EZ Car Keyz showed up fast, programmed a new fob, checked everything carefully, and made sure the car was fully functional before leaving.”
