Re: ohm key resistor??

You will have to take the car the the dealer or locksmith that has an "interrogator" that can tell what the pellet resistance should be.
Another option is to wire bypass the TDR and have the computer reprogrammed with VATS disabled.

If the car can't be moved, then that might be an option.
