Has anybody out here in Autel land ever found a way to clean the SKIM settings out of a used Chrysler PCM so that it can be used in another Chysler without an imobilizer?
I have a 2001 Jeep Cherokee in my shop. It has no imobilizer. I ordered a used PCM. If the used PCM came out of a jeep that had an imobilizer, it will just start and stall right away.
The only tool that I am aware of that will clean the SKIM info from the PCM is Drew Tech's Jbox.
I was hoping that the IM608 could do it, even if it is on the bench that would be fine. I can't find it in the IM's menu however.
There are a few places that know but they are guarding thier little secret so they could charge people $100 to do it for them.
Some people have no integrity.

It is the most expensive Jbox on the market. It has a skim reset function. It has
diagnostic capabilities too. I can't remember the exact model. My scan tool sales rep
has one in his car for demo's. I had him reset the skim for me. You can reset the skim
on the bench but I never researched how it is done.
I just checked and that program is called the J2534 tool box from Drew tech. I may
work with Autel's Jbox. I would download and try it. One little tip, I do remember after
resetting the skim, you MUST disconnect the battery then hook it back up and start it.
It will not work if you don't disconnect the battery.
