yellow connectors. They are probably part
of the airbag system. Be sure to follow
proper service procedures, and make sure
the person performing work for you is
qualied to do so.

be re-coded to match the new transmitter. Once
your dealer/retailer has coded the new transmitter,
the lost transmitter will not unlock your vehicle. The
vehicle can have a maximum of eight transmitters
matched to it. See “Relearn Remote Key” under
DIC Operation and Displays (With DIC Buttons) on
page 233orDIC Operation and Displays (Without
DIC Buttons) on page 239for instructions on how to
match RKE transmitters to your vehicle.
