Exclamation Having trouble with RX and TX wiring. i have no clue.

I have a 2001 ford Explorer 4.0l 4x4. I'am rewiring the motor harness on the 2001 ford explorer to have a 2003 ford ranger PCM. Because i dont want to do the full wiring swip in the cab or rest under the hood.
So i did a swip on the Explorer to a manua from a Auto transmission. I have 50% of the wiring done. Then ran into a problem on the 2003 ford Ranger wiring diagram for the
PCM pinout on the
#17 is GY/OG wiring is for "RX,signal"and the#18 is WH/LG wiring is for "TX, signal".
Now my 2001 ford Explorer motor wiring harness dosen't have the #17 not in use. But the #18 pinout dose have one. But not the WH/LG but it does have a BK/WH wire thou.
I dont know what to do since am using the 2003 ranger PCM and Not the 2001 ford Explorer PCM.
I added a Attchment to My PCM Diagram am using on the 2001 ford explorer. The yellow boxs # 17, 18 is the one am having trouble with.
The red boxs is the wiring i have remove for the Auto transmission wiring am not using
and the Green boxs is for the wiring am added to the Manual transmission to the PCM.

The RX & TX wires are for the PATS system(transponder key). Those wires leave the key barrel and make their way to the PCM. Not sure if you will need to program a new key to this or what though.
