Ford car keys, coding & electronics

Britain's favourite workhorse, and our favourite key to cut

About Ford

Ford has been part of British life forever, from Fiestas on every street to Transits in every trade. They're good to drive, cheap to fix and everywhere, but the odd PATS immobiliser tantrum or a misbehaving body control module is a rite of passage.

AutoECU does Ford keys from old flip keys to keyless, all-keys-lost, module coding and electrical repairs for cars and vans, mobile around Peterborough, which is handy when your Transit is your office.

Ford questions

Can you programme a Ford key if I've lost all of them?

Yes, Ford all-keys-lost is a job we do regularly on cars and vans, often at your location. Newer models need more steps, but most are fine. Ring AutoECU with your registration and we'll get you moving again.

Why won't my Ford start even though the key turns?

That's often the PATS immobiliser not recognising the key, perhaps due to a damaged transponder chip or a module fault. A second key test helps narrow it down. AutoECU can diagnose and reprogramme it for you.

Can you set a speed limiter on my Ford Transit?

On many Transit and Transit Custom vans the speed limiter can be configured through the vehicle software. It's popular with fleets and anyone wanting to save a bit on fuel. Contact AutoECU and we'll check your van.
