Mastering the 2021-Current Ford Ranger Proximity Key Start
The 2021-Current Ford Ranger Proximity Key Start models feature advanced technology designed to enhance convenience and security. However, these innovations come with their own set of locksmithing challenges. Here’s an overview of our job history and insights into common issues associated with these vehicles:
-
Job 80244: Locksmith Seb tackled a spare key job for a 2022 Ford Ranger using a genuine proximity key supplied by Terry’s Locksmiths. The key was dealer-programmed, reflecting the importance of working with OEM components and proper programming procedures to ensure compatibility and functionality.
-
Job 85104: One of the more challenging cases involved a 2021 Ford Ranger with an all-keys-lost situation. Locksmith Seb used Smart Pro and VVDI Key Tool Max to program a universal 3-button flip proximity key. This job was particularly difficult due to the need to cover ultrasonic sensors and manage a sensor that could halt the programming process if the bonnet was not latched. Seb’s attention to detail and perseverance in handling these complications demonstrate our capability to manage complex locksmithing tasks.
Common Issues with the 2021-Current Ford Ranger Proximity Key Start
The Proximity Key Start system in these models offers numerous benefits but also introduces several potential issues:
-
Ignition and Key Programming: One of the most significant challenges is programming new keys, especially in all-keys-lost situations. The system requires precise procedures, including managing sensors and ensuring proper programming of proximity keys. Our team’s expertise with tools like Smart Pro and VVDI Key Tool Max ensures that we handle these tasks effectively.
-
Ultrasonic Sensors: The presence of ultrasonic sensors in the proximity key system can complicate the key programming process. These sensors need to be covered or managed correctly to avoid interference during programming, adding another layer of complexity to the job.
-
Door Lock Problems: Issues with door locks, such as malfunctions in the keyless entry system or problems with the locking mechanism, can occur. Our experienced technicians are adept at diagnosing and resolving these issues to maintain the vehicle’s security and convenience.
