To find the FCC ID (FCC#) for a 2018 Ford Escape key fob, especially if you're verifying compatibility (e.g. OUCD6000022, blade type HU101), here are your options:
✅ 1. Check the Back of the Key Fob
-
The FCC ID is printed or engraved on the back of the remote/fob case—typically near the battery cover or molded into the plastic.
-
On some remotes, you may need to remove the key blade or open the fob to see it printed inside (especially if the back is worn or blank).
📝 For the 2018 Escape, compatible fobs usually show:
-
FCC ID:
OUCD6000022 -
IC (Industry Canada ID):
850K-D6000022 -
Transponder chip: 4D63
-
Key blade type: HU101
✅ 2. Owner’s Manual / Vehicle Documentation
-
In rare cases, the owner’s manual may list the FCC ID for the OEM key fob—usually in the security or remote entry section.
-
However, it’s not always guaranteed to be printed there.
✅ 3. Use an OBD2 Tool or Key Programming Device
-
Devices like Autel IM508/IM608, XTOOL, or KeyDIY KD-X2 can sometimes read the FCC ID or part number from the immobilizer or remote module if connected via OBD2.
-
Useful when you don’t have a physical key to inspect.
✅ 4. Contact a Ford Dealer (VIN Lookup)
-
A Ford dealership can look up your vehicle's exact OEM key part number and FCC ID by checking your VIN in their parts system.
-
This is the most accurate method if your key is missing.
