I bought the 2002 a short time ago with only one key. I had a guy in town make and program a new key for me. He had a lot of problems and even had the dash apart. After several attempts he finally took the speedo with the electronics on the back with him to Vegas where he knew a guy who runs a auction place that sells a lot of cars. He got the pin numbers and everything worked fine for a couple of weeks. Now the car won't start on either key, the message on the dash shows a bug with a key in it. The codes are in the car at his shop now but the other code is 01312, 'powertrain data bus faulty intermittent'. I'm not sure what to do now, worthless now! So much for a low mileage car. As last resort do you guys think I'll have to take it to a stealership or push it off a cliff! OR, is there a way to bypass this BS? Thanks, Glenn
