Start my escape

Tech notes This code is usually triggered when a not registered or damaged key is used to start the engine. When the starting operation is carried out five or more times consecutively with the same unregistered key, the system will lock. If the problem occurs try disconnecting the car battery for about 30 minutes and then try starting the engine with a known registered key. If the problem persist you have to have the dealer erase the code and reprogram the keys again.

If problem persist after disconnecting the car battery, try the following:

ESCAPE FROM LOCK MODE
1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
2. Turn ignition switch ON with registered key. (Do not start engine.) Wait 5 seconds.
3. Return the key to OFF position.
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 twice (total of three cycles).
5. Start the engine.

Can't be done. Not only is it a key but also an alarm an immobiliser. Without out the correctly programmed key for your specific vehicle you will not start it.

Hi,
Your Escape's battery is dead and needs replaced.

GL,
Td

this is just a suggestion but the steering wheel lock may be malfunctioning try while whith your left hand jerking your steering wheel counter clock wise while jostling your ignition with your keys securely in the ignition towards the start direction. this may not be it but it does happen

is the key a copy? in order to start the car you need the chip inside the ignition key to start the vehicle.

has the key been programmed?

The steering wheel lock may be putting pressure on the lock mechanism. Try turning the steering wheel a little either way as you turn the ignition key.
