About Taurus Keys
The table below is our verified key reference for the Ford Taurus — model years, key types, and the transponder/immobilizer family each generation uses. Generations overlap at boundary years, so we always confirm the exact part by VIN before dispatching.
| Model / Generation | Years | Key Type | Transponder / Immobilizer | Blade / FCC |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Taurus | 2003–2010 | transponder | Texas Crypto 4D63 / ID63 | H92 / H84 (H75 keyway) |
| Taurus | 2011–2019 | remote-head / flip | Texas Crypto 2 / DST80 / 4D63 80-bit | HU101 |
Security System & Immobilizer
Ford’s SecuriLock (PATS) system has guarded these vehicles since the mid-90s, moving from 4C to 4D63 (40- then 80-bit) chips and on to today’s 128-bit Hitag-Pro keys and Intelligent Access proximity fobs. Every PATS era programs on-site.
On the Taurus specifically, the immobilizer families we see are: Texas Crypto 4D63 / ID63, Texas Crypto 2 / DST80 / 4D63 80-bit. A key that is cut correctly but not programmed to this system will turn the locks and never start the engine — programming is the half of the job that matters.

Ford Taurus Key FAQ
I lost the only key to my Taurus. What now?
We come to the vehicle, verify ownership, cut a new key from the VIN, and program it on-site. No tow, no dealer wait — this is our most common Taurus call.
Will a hardware-store copy start my Taurus?
It will open the doors and nothing else on transponder-era cars — the chip inside the key must be programmed to the immobilizer, which is the part we do curbside.
