Default security light help.what key do i have?(pics)

ok.after i rebuilt my suspension,i took my car to pep boys for an alignment.they test drove the car after they were done and then i got in it to drive home.halfway home i realize the security light is on.my assumption is this...the tech used the steering column to get his fat *** out of my lowered car and somehow broke the connection on the white wire.either that or he was really ******* the steering column.idk.anyhoo,ive been reading the vats sticky and the picture of the key that is to be tested for resistance is different from my key.the key in the sticky has a black oval with a straight chip in the middle.i got a 1998 ws6.my key has 2 brass dots on either side.so where do i measure the resistance to get the right resistor?
