How do I remove FordPass modem access for authorized users?

You can complete a modem reset for your vehicle on your vehicle's SYNC®* or Digital Experience®** screen. For more information, refer to the steps below. 

Important:

  • This reset removes all FordPass®† accounts linked to your vehicle. 
  • To remove all previous owners, users, data, and in-vehicle settings, perform a factory reset. A factory reset also deletes your navigation favorites, SiriusXM® Radio presets, and makes all SYNC 4A and SYNC 4 subscriptions unavailable for up to 10 days. 
  • Your vehicle must be parked and running, and in an open, well-ventilated, and safe area.
