My 2016 did not come with the code card in the owner’s manual package. I just brought it to the dealer and they plugged into it right there in the service drive and pulled up the code in less than 2 minutes.

The code will not get erased if you disconnect the battery.

Procedure is explained starting about 2 minutes in.

Put one fob in the emergency start location. without pressing the brake, press the start button. Wait a second or two and press it again. Put the OTHER fob in the emergency start location. Without pressing the brake, press the start button. The number will display for 10 or 15 seconds.

The emergency start location could be either inside the center console or under one of the drink cups.

Or under the center seat if you have a bench.

I was playing around with my neighbor's Autel MaxiSys scanner and that has the ability to read the code even if you have only one key.

I was meaning MY code. And yes, it gets erased, as per the video provided by Pioneer74.

Thanks a million to you, and the others who explained the procedure. Seems like you can get the code without having to crank the engine. I'll find out when I get home .

I know what you meant, MY code has never been erased by disconnecting the battery, or by any other means either. Ive had the battery out multiple times on this truck and on my 05 that I had for 10 years it never erased itself either.
