I purchased this Micropod II emulator (about $135). V17.04.27 wiTech MicroPod 2 for Chrysler Diagnosis & Programming Tool Multi-language
I have used it to perform a relearn sequence for the TPMS sensors, after they were replaced. It worked well for this.
But it required I also purchase a laptop with windows xp or 7 operating system ($100 on ebay). The software is also challenging to install, and make work properly.
I had previously taken my vehicle to our local Chrysler dealer to get the TPMS reset. They apparently couldn't perform the work, but still charged me $75 for trying. They instead said I needed a $300 (plus installation) module replaced. And that it "may or may not" fix the problem. It felt good to be able to do this work myself, and not have to rely on the BS I got from the dealer. I look forward to running further diagnostics on my vehicle.
the DRB lll emulator required to program the tpms.
And a whole sequence of software patches need to take place in a precise order to make the DRB III emulator work with the Micropod II. Networking must also be disabled. Once these software patches are installed, the unit seems to work well as a DRB III emulator. I was able to find the software and instructions online at no additional cost. I can say that the DRB III emulator is easy to use and worked great to perform a relearn sequence of the TPMS for my 2005 SRT6. I also used an Autel TS601 to make each wheel sensor "chirp" in the sequence requested by the DRB III.

Chrysler Pacifica hard start intermittent TSB issue solved by wiTech
Vehicle Model: Chrysler Pacifica 2007 4.0
SYMPTOM/CONDITION:
The vehicle operator may experience one or more of the following symptoms:
· Mil Illumination for P0452 - Evap Pressure Switch Stuck Closed
· Hard to start. Most likely when fuel tank is full from a recent over fill event.
· No start. Most likely when fuel tank is full from recent over fill event.
These conditions can be caused by fuel that has accumulated in the evaporative lines:
· A liquid sump can trap negative pressure in the canister line even though the fuel
tank is vented. The ESIM switch may remain closed due to the blockage.
· Liquid fuel can be pulled into the purge valve and create a hard to start condition.
Installing this Fuel/Vapor Separator will ensure that no liquid will enter the purge valve and
the canister line will communicate properly to the fuel tank.
DIAGNOSIS:
Using a Scan Tool (wiTECH ) with the appropriate Diagnostic Procedures, verify all engine systems are functioning as designed. If DTC's are
present other then the one listed above record them on the repair order and repair as
necessary before proceeding further with this bulletin.
If the vehicle operator describes or experiences the Symptom/Condition, perform the
Repair Procedure.
