Expert Insight: Why VIN Programming is Non-Negotiable
As a technician, I’ve seen countless drivers try to save a few dollars by installing a used ECM from a salvage yard. This almost always ends in frustration. Your Jeep’s engine computer is tied directly to its anti-theft and security system (SKIM). A used, un-programmed module won’t recognize your keys, resulting in a vehicle that cranks but refuses to start. Our process completely bypasses this problem. We handle the complex VIN and security programming on our end, ensuring the module is a perfect digital handshake for your specific vehicle. We do the difficult part so you can enjoy a simple, successful repair.
