SERVICE INFORMATION
All 1998 - 2003 Vehicles - Radio Code Retrieval
When retrieving radio codes through the scan tool or ELSA on above vehicles, be sure the serial number is entered correctly. The 7th digit of the serial number should be a letter and not a number. So, if the 7th digit appears to be a number '1' it is actually the letter 'i'.
Also, if the radio code received will not be accepted by the radio, and the 7th digit is a "V" or "W", change that letter. So, if the 7th digit is a "V" change the letter to a "W" and vice versa. This will produce a new radio code.
