What you are looking for, is the factory five digit keyless entry keypad code on the BCM. This is located behind the passenger side kick panel, where the interior fuses are serviced.

I read somewhere in this forum, that it is under the hood, pass. side, by firewall. They showed a picture of what it looked like. I found that. Now, it's not that?

NOPE. That is the PCM, the module responsible for all the engine functions. The information you request, appears to be the original five digit keypad code to gain entry to your vehicle. The module responsible for that function is the BCM.

If you have two working keys, you can get the display to show the key pad code. Your owner's manual tells you how to do it.
