under the driver’s side dash, right where your right knee would be.
You have to look up into the dash from below to see it.

3. Ground pin 1 of the Data Link Connector by taking a wire or paper clip
and running it from pin 1 to pin 4. Pin 4 is ground so you can just short
pin 1 to 4 and it will be grounded. Grounding pin 1 tells the system you
are ready to reprogram it.

4. Close all of your doors.

5. Turn the key to ACC then back off. The power door locks will
lock/unlock. This is the signal that the system is ready for reprogramming.

6. Push a button on your key fob, doesn’t matter which button.

7. If you have 2 key fobs, then press a button on the 2nd fob within 1minute
of pressing a button on the 1st fob. Both must be programmed at the
same time. If you only have 1 fob then press a button 2 more times to signal
that you only have one.

8. The doors will lock/unlock to signal the codes were received.
