Dealers are able to view and purchase keys for vehicles by logging into this site using PTS or FMCDealer.com Note:  If users do not log into the e-commerce site via PTS or FMCDealer.com they will not be able to view keys on this site.

Dealers can search for keys using three methods, they are:

•Using the main search text box: Enter a key part number or vehicle year and model in the site search on the top of the home page.  For example entering the part number 164-R8040 or 2016 Mustang will pull up the keys if a dealer is logged in. Keys are always at the top of the search results page.

•Search for specific keys via VIN: from the homepage enter a vehicle’s VIN in the “17 Digit VIN” input box found in the “Search for Keys” section on the bottom left of the home page.  This will display the specific keys associated with the VIN you entered.

•You can also search for keys using the “Vehicle MY and Model or Key Part Number” input box found in the “Search for Keys” section on the home page.   For example entering the term 164-R8040 or 2016 Mustang will display search results similar to using the main search text box on the top of the home page but this search will only show keys.  All other products are removed from the search

Make / Model / Year / Component search for Tools

In order for a user to find specific ESSTs that are required to fix a Ford, Lincoln or Mercury vehicle a user can use the Make / Model / Year filtering search option found under the Essential Special Service Tools tab in the middle of the Home page.

The user can choose any combination of make / model / year and component to see what ESSTs are available for a vehicle.  For example a user can choose 2013 Ford Focus and add Front Suspension to see all the ESSTs that are available for the front suspension of a 2013 Ford Focus.

ESST numbering system

Essential Special Service Tools (ESSTS) are tools that are critically necessary to properly and effectively service the vehicle components. The Global Tool Numbering applies to Essential Special Service Tools (ESSTs) only.

•Global tool numbers were designed to standardize tool numbers throughout the world and be consistent with the service manual section grouping organization.  Beginning in the 1997 calendar year, all new tools carry a Global Tool number.

•Global Tool numbering for ESSTs is organized by vehicle component.

•The first three digits contain the group number.  The group number corresponds to the service manual section for which the tool was developed initially.
