So I installed the hood switch today. Purchased the DS7Z-15K601-F transmitter as well.
In BCM I was able to change 726-19-01 to 0148
and in IPC I am unable to change to C8F3 --- on the Ford Taurus forums I found 720-01-03 is changed to 90E8 00CB A2 for the Taurus PI - so I took the risk and tried that, checksum became E6 and now Remote Start shows up in my dash settings. There is a DTC error in IPC though - so not a success. The previous setting at 720-01-03 is 808A 0000 35
However I'm unable to program the 15K601 transmitter. The instructions I'm using from
http://www.levittownfordparts.com/docs/2013-2015_Scalable_Kit_Car_1-8-2015 (1).pdf
are:
1 Start with doors unlocked
2 Driver's door open (remaining open throughout)
3 Verify that the gearshift lever is in the "PARK" position.
4 Depress and hold brake pedal.
5 Start with ignition key OFF.
6 Cycle ignition key to the ON then OFF position 5 times, then back to the ON position a 6th time. ▪ The horn will honk 3 times to indicate transmitter learn mode access.
7 Press the START button on each transmitter you wish to program. The horn will honk 1 time each time the START button is pressed to indicated the transmitter has been learned.
8 Cycle ignition key to the OFF position to exit transmitter learn mode.
9 NOTE: If the security jumper is installed the vehicle security features are disabled. If previously removed, reinstall the VSS module security jumper. For additional information, refer to "VSS Module - Optional Vehicle Security Features".
I'm going to go try to verify that the jumper is not installed in the VSS Module to rule that out now.
