Why does VIN need to be programmed into replacement modules?

Modern Chrysler vehicles use VIN as security identifier and communication protocol between modules. Each module stores VIN and checks that all other modules have matching VIN. When VINs don't match, modules won't communicate properly, causing various malfunctions. It's Chrysler's way of preventing module theft and ensuring proper system integration. VIN programming is mandatory - vehicle won't work correctly without it.

Can I program VIN myself with a regular scan tool?

No. VIN programming requires dealer-level equipment (Chrysler Witech or equivalent), active Chrysler subscription ($3,000+ per year), security credentials, and technical knowledge. Regular scan tools can READ VIN but can't PROGRAM it. DIY attempts with wrong tools can "brick" modules, making them completely unusable. Professional programming is only viable option.

I bought a used PCM online - will you program the VIN?

Absolutely! That's exactly what we do. Bring vehicle and module (or install it first if you prefer). We'll program correct VIN and configure PCM for your specific engine and transmission. Used PCMs are great money-saving option ($200-$400 vs $800-$1,500 new) - just budget $150-$250 for VIN programming. Total cost still much less than dealer new PCM.

What happens if VIN is never programmed after module replacement?

Depends on module: PCM with wrong VIN may run but won't shift properly, gets poor fuel economy, or sets check engine light. BCM with wrong VIN causes door locks, windows, lights to malfunction. TIPM with wrong VIN creates widespread electrical problems. Security systems won't work. Long-term: increased wear, damage to other components, potential safety issues. Always program VIN promptly.
