2017 Ford Taurus Smart Key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional
Got a call from a woman out near Point Mugu State Park in Oxnard. Her 2017 Taurus wouldn't respond to the push-to-start anymore. She'd had a replacement smart key made by another locksmith about a week earlier, and it had been slowly getting worse. Morning starts were fine. By evening the dash would flash "No Key Detected" and the start button did nothing.
She thought it was electrical. It wasn't.
I pulled her bad fob apart on the spot and read the transponder with my VVDI2. The other tech had used a close-but-wrong chip. On Ford's second-generation PATS (this generation runs the 80-bit embedded transponder protocol tied to the PCM), a near-match chip can squeak through the initial programming handshake but fail once the system runs its full verification cycle after a few drive events. That is a known headache in the locksmith world with these sixth-gen Taurus keys. Ford TSB 16-0090 covers intermittent no-start and key detection issues on this platform, and while it points at the BCM and RF receiver, it also flags weak or incorrect transponder registration as a root cause.
I programmed a fresh fob with the correct 80-bit chip matched to her car's PATS module, seated a new CR2032, ran the RF handshake through all five buttons, and tested door-handle proximity on both front doors. Car started clean every time.
The difference between a key that works for a week and a key that works for years is the chip inside it.

“Fast, affordable, and a great price. Marco did an amazing job and made a key for our Nissan Kicks quickly and professionally. Everything worked perfectly.”
“I got locked out of my vehicle and also lost my key. Marco came out, made a new key for my Toyota, and got me back on the road. He was professional, friendly, and clearly knows what he is doing.”
