Hello –

From what I see you need a NGS to tell you the code as shown below.
To program (or re-program) transmitter(s) into the remote/keyless entry module, perform the following steps:
1. Enter 5-digit permanent entry code into keyless entry keypad. The permanent entry code for the DDM may be determined with a New Generation Star (NGS) Tester. Request PID-KEY CODE. See ON-DEMAND SELF-TEST in MODULE COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK article.
2. Within 5 seconds of pressing last digit of permanent entry code, press 1/2 button on keypad. All doors should lock and unlock to confirm programming mode has been entered. Press ANY button on remote transmitter within 5 seconds of pressing 1/2 button. All door locks will cycle to indicate successful programming of transmitter.
3. If additional transmitters are to be programmed, press any button on next transmitter to be programmed within 5 seconds of programming first transmitter. If programming is successful, doors will signal by locking and unlocking.
4. If keypad light goes out before all transmitters are programmed, repeat process from step 1) . Up to 4 transmitters may be programmed for a vehicle. Press 7/8 and 9/0 buttons simultaneously on keypad to exit program mode.

You may need to go to the dealer for this one……………..it may not cost too much for the to plug in and get the code for you.

Hello - Hey also, it looks like you may have some recalls on your vehicle. The dealer may fix these for free. Please contact the dealer service department, give them the VIN number of your car and have them check on these to see if they apply to you. These look very important...........make sure you check to make sure the car is safe.
