Hey KELLIE BENNITT,

You should be ok if you replace the complete ignition including lock cylinder and the electrical ignition switch. You will then have a new key for the ignition.

The electrical ignition switch includes a sensor for the PASSLOCK system.

You may need to do a relearn, the procedure is attached to this message.

Regards, Joe
