Worked for me... 2000 Grand Cherokee. Used a Launch Diagun V in the "PCM > special functions > check VIN" part. Fantastic. I took a pic of the VIN on the screen of the Diagun once it auto detected it, then I had to manually enter the VIN to re-write the used PCM... then the same thing of turning off key after that was successful, plugging in SKIM module, and start up car.
Thanks for the help...been a mechanic for over 40 years and I have never replaced an engine computer with the battery hooked up. Just had to bite the bullit and buy that scanner you have for $3400 but just using it for the first time it outperforms the Snap On Verus Edge that I have now that was way more expensive. can't wait to try to reprogram a key. Much Mahalo from the Big Island of Hawaii @ Kolohe Auto Repair. My repair was a 06 PT Cruiser with no communication with the ecm/pcm and transmission stuck in 2nd gear. All is well now.
Thank you for sharing the video. Very informative. I noticed you used the valet key in the video. Will this procedure work with the key that has the key fob attached?😊😊
Hey can you do this if you go pull a PCM from a salvage yard car and replace it with your car’s old PCM? I’ve heard if a used PCM already knows another car’s VIN you can’t reprogram it to your car
Not sure if it was but it was the same part numbers. I was giving the module to program it only. If it did have different P-FLASH DATA loaded than we would have to flash it with correct calibration file using witech or legacy application.
Can this Ecm replacement trick be performed on all cars especially when you disconnect the immobilizer and reconnect after the PCM swap or it only works on this model? Will be glad to know more thank You Sir
Great video, I have a question, do you know how to program used ECU for 2016 Challenger? I tried it with im608 changed vin number and add new key but still engine not starting. Thanks in advance for help.
I hv a 2004 Nissan Altima with a p0335 code I hv replace the crankshaft sensor and check the wire for a short . I want to replace the ecu with a used one will this system work for my car?
It depends on the software version of SKIM module. Some you won’t have to unplug anything and changing VIN will be enough. So you might want to try by just writing VIN without unplugging anything first.
So the car retained its original key and skim reader with only the PCM replaced ? Does the VIN reset process enter SKIM ID in the PCM ? I thought SKIM, PCM and key had to be a set. I know that wrecker yards offer the PCM, SKIM READER AND KEY saying it will get your ( Grand Cherokee 2002 in my case ) running but it doesn't because the VIN is wrong. Some sell them after entering the VIN code you supply to them. I can't find anyone who can tell me what the VIN in the PCM is reconciled with in the car. Is it the BCM, The trans controller, what ? Surely it's not just the SKIM reader box on the ignition barrel because that supposedly matches the PCM you got it with. Is there another element between the PCM and the SKIM reader ? Real confused ( just like most people It seems )
i have a dodge challenger 2010 rt manual i replaced the pcm module. the key works the functions but does not release the ignition for the car to start what could it be? please i need your help
That’s definitely correct! But sometimes immobilizer light keeps on flashing even after skim reset and might have to restore vehicle configuration through witech.
That’s definitely incorrect! I would suggest you to do more research before you do any suggestions. Check engine was on because one of the coil was unplugged

I’m happy all went good for you :)
I just did this with a Launch Diagun V. Can find them for around $580. About the same functionality as the Launch Pro Mini but smaller device.
Hello@@huyug1
J'ai veux remplacer le ecu est antenne
Comment j'ai veux procédé
Worked for me with a Topdon phoenix, thanks for the tip. Changed the PCM to a junkyard unit on a 2004 PT Cruiser.
I just found you and this is like Christmas! Thank you! Best wishes from Sweden!
Thanks :) best wishes from US also 👍
Great tip, you saved me time money and the trouble. Thanks for sharing your knowledge, I appreciate it very much in deed.
Experience diagnosis amigo. Nice video
This is VERY good information, thank you Sir !!! It surely will help. Very clever technique.
Worked on 06 durango with a different autel unit. You rock
Why do you have a oil lite and check engine lite with vehicle running ?
Thanks bro, this video just helpex save this old lady from junking her old car
Fantastic trick
very clever done.
thanks for sharing
Excellent. Thank you.
Great tutorial sir. Can i use other scanner like easydiag? Thanks
This trick is great. But I guess the Calibration number of the original ECU and donor should be same before this trick will work right?
You save my life , my friend !! Thank you!!
Any other cars can be done by this system? Thanks for sharing your knowledge Sir.
To keep the same VIN in ABS to prevent any lost communication do the same disconnect the ABS then plug to keep the same VIN
Thanks, headed to pul-a-part today! 2000 Dodge about to live again...

That’s exactly what I did in the video :)
@@huyug1 Perfect, Thank you! This works long term, correct?
@@yankees4life612 I’m not exactly sure about what you mean by long term but once the procedure is done It’s good for life
@@huyug1 Yes that is what I meant lol Thank you!
@@huyug1 This works on 06-08 Jeep models too?
Was the used PCM from the same year of vehicle and model as the original? If not were there any issues from other modules?
Not sure if it was but it was the same part numbers. I was giving the module to program it only. If it did have different P-FLASH DATA loaded than we would have to flash it with correct calibration file using witech or legacy application.
EXCELENT !! THANKS..!!
Can u reprogram the used computer for the Japanese cars with this scanner?
Great tip, it helps a lot.
will that work on a 2007
chrysler 300
New to the Channel great info but will this work on GM CARS
Question? If the new computer has security but the car I’m working on doesn’t have immobilizer ?
Question - if you were to not plug the immobilizer back in, would it bypass skim moving forward or would it not work after a certain time?
Sir what was the scanner you used to program the pcm
Is the Autel IM608
Thanks for sharing
Can this Ecm replacement trick be performed on all cars especially when you disconnect the immobilizer and reconnect after the PCM swap or it only works on this model? Will be glad to know more thank You Sir
Great video, I have a question, do you know how to program used ECU for 2016 Challenger? I tried it with im608 changed vin number and add new key but still engine not starting. Thanks in advance for help.
There is an eeprom on the board that needs to be transferred.
Did it ever work ?
More videos please of programming
I hv a 2004 Nissan Altima with a p0335 code I hv replace the crankshaft sensor and check the wire for a short .
I want to replace the ecu with a used one will this system work for my car?
can you program bcm modules with that autel im608?
You can program a used one but new one not sure you might have to use witech
Can you also do this with abs modules for example rams 2012-2016 or town and country 2008-2013
Hi. What about the oil light and engine light on? Related with the new pcm?
One of the ignition coil was disconnected. Not really sure about the oil light but that definitely has nothing to do with the coding we did.
I have that problem now in my 2002 Dodge Durango but I already changed the PCM without disconnecting the IMMO and is not turning on
Hi I changed the reader and computer box if program keys will it start ,or mus realine vin
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
What years and models does this apply too?
It depends on the software version of SKIM module. Some you won’t have to unplug anything and changing VIN will be enough. So you might want to try by just writing VIN without unplugging anything first.

Im having the same issue on a 2015 any updates? Or how did you solve this?
@@jorensen1987did you end up solving ?
It is exactly what I need
Nice , this trick work just for jeep?
Have you ever tried this on a 2015+ Manual challenger? Or do you have any suggestions?after vin write Car shuts off with security light blinking.
great , but what if your existing PCM is dead no comms?
A lot of these vehicles you can do it without the original PCM as well. Some you would have to get the IMMO pin code and just change the vin.
@@huyug1 thank you for your reply / knowledge .
@@huyug1 how do I find that number?
@@ItsTheApeManWC theres a phone app called pin puller that will work w a generic Bluetooth elm327 and your phone to pull dodge codes

Instead of disconnect can do a skim reset works fine
That’s definitely correct! But sometimes immobilizer light keeps on flashing even after skim reset and might have to restore vehicle configuration through witech.
Will this work on a Cummins 5.9?
Does this trick work with Ford cars ?
Could someone recommend a budget friendly machine?
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
The check engine stayed on bc you didn't reprogram the skeem modules.it will runs for a couple of day.but it won't turn on again
That’s definitely incorrect! I would suggest you to do more research before you do any suggestions. Check engine was on because one of the coil was unplugged
Do you know how to program the street module? Thanks
you dont have to dissconect the immobilizer just write vin
That all he has to do write vin
Why the check engine light on after the new pcm? How did you learn this trick?
Hello, one of the coil was unplugged which I didn’t notice but noting was related to programming
thanks
Nice trick
Good morning
I think the autel I'm 608 is only to program the keys
Can we do this for models 2010 up?
Yes but in some models pcm will need to be opened and swap eeprom chips
Hey I just did the but now I’m getting transmission codes but the car is running also getting fuel to lean any suggestions
Only works if you have com to old ecm...
Ok
Brother I have problem with my car can I get your Whatsup
Witch is much better than autel on dodge chrysler jeep
Too much trouble
Thank you my brother … please I want to contact you because I have problem with my jeep can I get you Whatsup ?
