Frequently Asked Questions
Why does Chrysler require VIN programming?
Chrysler modules are VIN-locked as an anti-theft measure. The VIN ties the module to a specific vehicle. When you install a used or new module, it has the wrong VIN (or no VIN) and won't communicate properly with other modules until programmed.
Can I use a used module from another vehicle?
Yes, but it must be VIN-programmed to your vehicle. Used modules are a cost-effective option - we can reprogram them with your VIN and they'll function exactly like a new module. The module must be compatible (same part number or equivalent).
What modules need VIN programming?
Most Chrysler modules need VIN programming: PCM/ECM (engine computer), BCM (body control), TIPM (totally integrated power module), ABS, airbag module, instrument cluster, radio/navigation. We handle all module types with our Chrysler wiTECH equipment.
How long does VIN programming take?
VIN programming takes 1-2 hours including diagnostics, programming, adaptations, and testing. We perform this at your location with our mobile service. No need to tow to a dealer.
Will VIN programming fix my check engine light?
If the check engine light is caused by VIN mismatch or module communication errors, yes. However, if there are other mechanical or electrical issues, those must be diagnosed and repaired separately. We perform complete diagnostics to identify all issues.
