You can take the junkyard key and module and tape the key in the circle and plug it in the connector under column cover and it will read the key while using your existing key for ignition. The module reads a pellet in the key through the ring on the module.

And the sad thing - without changing the VIN number, you will not be able to program any other keys due to not having the PIN number for the used computer. I think it's much better to pay someone to do a "VIN number change" to the replacement PCM using a good scan tool. That way you can use your original keys, can program new keys and don't have to carry 1 set of keys to get into the door and another to turn on the ignition. This won't work with the newer Chrysler products.

So do the immobilizer get plugged into the steering column with key attached? or just have all 3 connected to pcm? And plug pcm up as regular?

One step ahead of you but you are the ONLY one to explain this option to newbees. It does work because i did it.. more than once! You talk too much but very true and accurate information feom JT Cruiser!

Hey I might have a tough question for you. Got an 06 PT cruiser computer went bad so trying to cheapen at the junkyard and had it reflash to match the vehicle. Joe better than the day we got it. Next day on the way to get it inspected, it broke down on the highway. Found another engine put it in and now we can't get it to spark. Do you think the computer needs to be reflashed after only one day of it being used, even though it's been a couple of months since it happened?

Good to know, thanks jt👍like applied

Hahaha cleaver man usually we go this route, dodge has mad things so hard for independent shop to program stuff now!

Just came across this video and was about try this tomorrow before I watched the video. Was unsure if it would work, 2000 Ford ranger, do u think it will work? I believe the Vin is no big deal on this vehicle but I can't confirm that.

I saw people selling "skim delete" modules. Would that work as well?

I have a 2006 Chrysler 300C 5.7 liter. I got a new engine installed. My key battery dead so I manually entered the car. The car wouldn’t crank. I put a batter in the key and everything worked fine. The next day halfway through the day the car wouldn’t start. Battery, alternator and starter all good. Will this process help and is my car lock bu the anti-theft system? I just spent 4k plus and can’t even crank it.

I changed out the pcm on 02 durango same p/n number and it starts and drives but it's tried a code that it didn't have before.. not sure if I should take further steps or not.. and im bout to subscribe on g/p cause all comments are speaking highly of you.. this is my FIRST subscribe... lol..

Okay so I have a used I see you for my 04 E46 but I still need to get Flash to my ews in VIN number how do I go about doing that

I have 2011 Town and Country one day the car wouldn't turned on at first thought it was battery, so I bought new battery then it happens again, so I thought it was alternator so after my second new battery i think its the PCM that controls the alternator to turn on and off it looks like the ground from the field wires is not grounding in the PCM when I put wire directly to negative on batter it seems to make a circuit but the meter doesn't say its charging still reads what the battery is 12.5 v. Two Questions can I install voltage regulator kit to bypass the PCM. or if I put direct hot and ground to the field wires behind Alternator would this make the alternator start to charge again?

@OnlineMechanicTips

Well its going to be hard to use any scan tool if you have no communication with the computer (ECM?PCM) But there are things you need to find out, like why it will not start. Such as if its out of gas or not getting gas, or even getting spark for that matter. The easiest thing to do is spray some carb cleaner down the trootle body and see if it starts

No

If you go this route wouldn't the VIN be whatever the VIN was on the vehicle you got the PCM from? Another cheap.. Or actually free way to go about this with a used PCM is by opening up both modules and swapping out the EEPROM chip (soldering your old EEPROM in place of the EEPROM on the circuit board inside the PCM you're planning on installing). If you aren't sure which chip is EEPROM try googling "your car make, model EEPROM", or eeprom location..it'll be an 8 legged chip BTW, no matter the vehicle. If you're unfamiliar with soldering & desoldering you shld def practice on a circuit board from an old broken TV, phone, anything really. If people get a replacement ECM from a pull your part store its unlikely they'll be able to get keys & in that case switching chips would still be an option. Also there's no reprogramming needed when going this route since VIN, immobilizer, etc is all saved in this chip.

I have personally done this before on a Nissan Sentra, and I can confirm that it works perfectly-even with completely different years. Just make sure to correctly identify the right chip and use heat protective tape to mask the surrounding electronics on the circuit board.
