Or you can have your local GM dealer measure the resistance of your key. If your reading does not directly match a value listed here, round it to the nearest number. To determine which code your system requires, you can place a voltmeter (set at 20K) on your existing key and measure the Ohms from the pellet. Without the correct key value, your Corvette will not start. For this period of production, there are 15 separate values.
