My car sat for a year. My battery was dead so I replace, car won’t turn over. It’s the anti theft computer. How do I reset for this model?

Hi Bsafe,

This appears to answer all your questions. Please pay particular attention to the note at the bottom. If you don't have the code, then a dealer can provide it for you but you need proof of ownership, so just make sure you bring it with you.

Thanks.
