Perform a master reset if you’re selling your vehicle, you bought a used Ford privately, or you need to remove your car from another FordPass account. Here’s how to do it.

  • We recommend you perform a master reset if you’re planning on selling your vehicle, bought a used Ford privately, or if you need to remove your vehicle from another FordPass account. Here’s how to do it:

    • For vehicles with SYNC 3, start by going to the Settings tab.
    • Select ‘General’.
    • Then scroll down and tap ‘Reset’.
    • And finally, tap ‘Master reset’.
    • You’ll be asked to confirm.
    • Check your phone is disconnected, then tap ‘Continue’.
    • The reset will take a few minutes while your vehicle connects to the network.
    • When the screen restarts, you'll be asked if you'd like to connect your car.
    • Select 'Yes.'
    • Your master reset is now complete, and you can set up FordPass with your vehicle.

    If you have an older version of SYNC, the process is a little different. Here's how to perform a master reset on an older version of SYNC:

    • First, press the Settings button.
    • Then use the dial to select ‘General’.
    • Scroll down to select ‘Master Reset’.
    • You’ll be asked to confirm. Select ‘Continue’.
    • The reset will take a few minutes while your vehicle connects to the network.
    • When the screen restarts, you'll be asked if you'd like to connect your car.
    • Select 'Yes.’
    • Your master reset is now complete, and you can set up FordPass with your vehicle.

    If there's anything you're not sure about, you can simply contact your Ford Dealer.
