2001 - 2002 MODELS
All 2001-2002 models with keyless entry systems have a factory installed non-programmable controller
assembly. This controller is identified by a white connector and only supports the
original two transmitters provided with the vehicle. When servicing any component of the system, or if
transmitters are misplaced, it requires the replacement of the controller assembly and its transmitters as
a set.
