call your dealer and ask for the parts department its a computer inside a computer problem. also turn your headlights on and then disconnect the battery for 5 minites then reconnect the battery and check to see if the code has been reset . the micro batterys in the computer have to be drained to get the computer to reset by leaving the lights on this creates an open circit so they can drain .
