Soooo, I went to change the VIN on the PCM today... I first changed the VIN back to the original on the SKIM, then went thru the menus and found misc under PCM options, clicked on, check/change VIN, it comes up with a screen saying this will let you check or change the VIN in the PCM, click continue, it brings up a screen that says it is a valid VIN, no way to change it, just an esc button... Tried to start the car thinking it would throw a code and tell the PCM it is the wrong VIN, but no change.. The car just started and died.. read the codes and saw, wrong SKIM key.. Put the original PCM back in the car and fired it up, same problem as before, the 02 sensors are open... Put the new/used PCM back in and tried again... no joy... Rewrote the SKIM to the new/used PCM's VIN and the car stared and ran well.. Looks like I just spen $1,300.00 on a glorified OBD2 code reader... Maybe I am missing something... I have a J2534 pass thru that I am going to buy a 3 day license to Chrysler tech.. hope that works... There has to be someway to change the VIN on a used PCM...
Any and all ideas are welcome...
Take care,
Tim
PS, I have the Abrites for VW and Mercedes.. works awesome.. Have you tried it for Chrysler?
