For anyone watching this you do NOT need this $3000 scan tool (Autel IM608) to do the parameter reset. At least on a 2009 Lincoln MKS (push button). Apparently the Autel MP808 is capable ($699 scanner). The function was pretty well hidden! I believe it was: Hot Functions > IMMO keys > PATS Functions > (Wait 10 min) > Parameter Reset. Once done, press any key fob button, turn ignition off, then on. Voila! No need to reprogram keys. My Autel MP808 was able to do this but my stupid Topdon T-Ninja 1000 (a dedicated locksmith tool) kept failing to access security system and tripping the immobilizer!

@@Lrv6532 I'm actually not sure about the VIN write function. The ECM my customer used was preprogrammed to her VIN before it shipped. Also, I believe the MP808 only does remote programming. It does keys on a few cars, if I remember, but hit or miss. I would look at the Autel IM608 if you're trying to program chip keys to the IMMO system.

I have a 2019 Ford Fusion Hybrid and replaced the DC to DC Inverter because it kept throwing a code and said service battery charging station.

With the Ares pcm installed and switching both keys ON the security light turns on 4 second then shuts off and stay off and for locksith guy say that the way security light acts indicate that there is a problem with the pcm Ares sold me.
