Possible to use Witech to write vins on a 2015+ Dodge?

Purpose: to perform a PCM replaced procedure to learn/synch the skim / write vins on a 2015+ Dodge.

Question:

I have a good quality micropod II clone registered for online use with Witech 17. Is this possible? If yes, how?

My micropod clone has firmware version 2.4 and is registered so works with witech 17.04 software and tech authority online.

Suggestion:

if you can use your clone micropod 2 while witech software is online, yes you can perform “restore vehicle configuration” and program the car mileage into the pcm.
you need online account for this of course.. But sellers does not provide online account. 

Test reports for sharing:

Did not work… “0x42 unable to write vin, retry restore procedure”.

What to do next?

1. Do you have any launch scanner tool? easydiag will do the pcm vin and miles change.
   as for the skeem learn for a used pcm is not needed as long the vin on the pcm matches the rest of the modules in the car, should work fine.

2. Also it is possible to write VIN into Dodge PCM using Launch X431 Diagun IV (discontinued and replaced by X431 Diagun V).

Car model: 2002 Dodge Ram Van 1500

1). Click PCM module

2). Special function

3). Check PCM Vin

4).writing Vin

5).New Vin

6).Vehicle Vin is Valid,successful!

2. Also Autel tools has the ability to write the VIN into Dodge.

the Autel MaxiSys tools (i.e Maxisys Elite) do have the ability to write VIN. Specific function availability will varies by year and model.

Here is an example of the VIN writing options for a 2006 Dodge Ram.

The “Check VIN” function works the same as other scan tools, if there is no VIN in the PCM it will then allow you to write the VIN number to the module.

Details for the Autel Maxisys coverage are available on this page:

https://pro.auteltech.com/measurecarApp-1-1.html?m=94&operatorType=1

1 – Select the Autel Tool from the list (i.e. MS906, Elite, Mx808, etc.)

Example: Programming new RKE  remotes/FOBs for the Jeep Cherokee XJ

Just for sharing purpose. Credit to http://colorado4wheel.com.

This is a “how-to” reprogram the RKE (Remote Keyless Entry) remotes/FOBs in the Jeep Cherokee XJ. This procedure is the same for 1997-2001 Cherokees, 1997/1998 Cherokees use a different remote than the 99-01 Cherokee that seems to interchange with all 97-01 Cherokee’s. 1996 and older Cherokees have a different programming procedure for the IR remotes. In theory it would be possible to swap in a programmed pair of remote and board to a 1996 and older for the improved remote range.

From the main menu, select #1, DRBIII standalone.

Select #1, 1998-2007 Diagnostics.

Select #1, All.

Select #7, Theft Alarm.

Select #1, VTSS.

Detecting.

This will display after first detection.

Select #9, Miscellaneous.

Select #3, Program RKE.

If the ignition is not off, turn it off.

Select which position remote you want to program for. Defaults are 1 and 2, Recommend having all the remotes available for programming, otherwise another remote might get overwritten.

The RKE will accept a signal for a few seconds, press unlock repeatedly during this time. After the end of the cycle this will display, even if the programming was not successful. Test the remote by pressing lock and unlock, if it does not activate then it is not working properly and either needs to be programmed again or it is a bad remote.

Select 1 to change the horn chirp duration.

10ms is almost inaudible, 40ms is very noticeable. User preference.

Illuminated entry can also be set. User preference.

While many remotes appear to be physically identical actual compatibility varies. Verify part numbers before purchasing remotes.

VCI Pod + DRB III for Chrysler Grand Voyager 2006 2.8 CRD

Question: which diagnostic software for Chrysler Grand Voyager 2006 2.8 CRD?

Tested:

It looks like the 2006 voyager is covered by the DRB III. You can download a copy of witech with the DRB III emulator built in. You will need a scan tool compatible with witech though.

Here is free download witech v13.03 with the DRB III emulator built in:

Why VCI Pod Kit instead of wiTech MicroPod2?

WiTECH VCI Pod:

Built-in DRB III emulator, more stable;

Wins in online and offline programming etc.

WiTech MicroPod 2:

Buy additional DRB III emulator, and sometimes works sometimes does not work;

Wins in key programming.

What more Chrysler cars will be covered by the DRB III / wiPOD/ StarMOBILE / StarSCAN?

Please look at the following 3 images:

Good luck!

Will wiTech do ECU Coding for Chrysler Pacifica 2016 2017?

Recommend the good ecu coding tool for Chrysler Pacifica 2016 2017 (come with bcm coding).

Option 1.  micropod2 with subscription

Option 2.  If cars are not superior at 2017 you can simply download WiTech software from here and buy a Clone micropod 2

Witech 17.03.10 software free download here:

https://mega.nz/#!BNAjnAQB!AWiM7QTImGt5n0XvgqNLF6rZ87gFQ4GqC9rl4dOtYcY

Running more stable than the newest witech 17.04.27.

As for the Witech 17.03.10 installation and activation, you can watch this video

(Network connection needed.
First connect MicroPod II to vehicle, if the red indicator turns on, then connect it to laptop and run software.)

This would be the only way I can think of outside of a witech 2 subscription that you would: be able to access the BCM, download flash files for it and flash it, then access the auburn hills FCA servers to “restore vehicle configuration” when you were done. 

Enjoy!

How to use wiTech to Flash Chrysler Heated Seat Module (HSM)?

SYMPTOM/CONDITION:

The heated steering wheel shuts off to soon, usually after 30 seconds and does not achieve satisfactory temperature. This is an intermittent condition and more noticeable at temps below 19.5°C (67.1°F).

MODELS:

2015	(WK)	Jeep Grand Cherokee
2015	(W3)	Jeep Grand Cherokee (Egypt)
2016	(KL)	Jeep Cherokee
2015	(WD)	Dodge Durango
2016	(LA)	Dodge Challenger
2016	(LD)	Dodge Charger
2016	(LX)	Chrysler 300
2016	(UF)	Chrysler 200

Applies to these vehicles equipped with Heated Steering Wheel (Sales Codes NHS).

SUBJECT:

Flash/Program: Heated Steering Wheel Temperature

Updating the Comfort Seat and Wheel Module (CSWM) software for the KL/UF vehicles or the Heated Seat Module (HSM) software for the W3/WK/WD/LD/LA & LX vehicles.

DIAGNOSTIC TOOL:

The wiTech software is required to perform this procedure.

DIAGNOSIS:

Using a wiTech scan tool (micropod2 or vci pod) diagnostic application for flashing and ECU is available by selection “Help”, then “Help Contents” at the top of the wiTech Window.

The wiTech software is required to perform this procedure.

Programming Procedure:

Installation of parts:

The following operation must be carried out before programming: 

• Replacement of the steering column control unit (SCCM)
• Replacement of the climate control control unit
• Replacement of the steering wheel
• Installation / replacement of the heating control unit and the cable set under the seat
• Laying the cable from connector C200 to connector C376 and possibly also C376 for TIPM 

Programming as with the other internals is not necessary per se . The steering wheel heater should work immediately if the cabling is correct. During the first test, make sure that, like the seat heating, it only comes on when the engine is running. 

After the engine started, it was a good sign that the LED in the symbol of the steering wheel heater went on. The front seat heating could also be activated. After a short time you noticed the heating of the steering wheel.

Nevertheless, you have to check or have a setting checked afterwards to avoid possible damage to the steering wheel due to overheating. 

There is a configuration in the HSM module that differentiates between leather and wood steering wheels. If you do not know the origin of a used HSM module, a misconfiguration can occur if, for example, a wooden steering wheel is configured there, but it is no longer installed. 

The configuration can be changed or checked with the Witech. To do this, go to the wiTech HSM module and call up the “Heated steering wheel configuration” routine in the “Various functions” tab. 

First, the meaning of the routine is explained again.

The current configuration is then displayed. In the picture, the wooden steering wheel is configured because the value for “Heated leather steering wheel available” was set to “Wrong”. 

If you click on the “Next” button in the following window, the configuration changes to full leather. If you have a wooden steering wheel, then click on “Close” in this window. Since I had installed a leather steering wheel, I clicked “Next”. 

Then you can start the routine for checking again. Now “True” stood for the value “Heated leather steering wheel available”.

Another system test is also recommended. Since the air conditioning control unit has been replaced, you should go to the HVAC module. The “Actuator calibration” routine must be carried out there in the “System tests” tab. This makes sense because the start and end values ​​of the stepper motors of all flaps are stored in the air conditioning control unit. Otherwise it could happen that the flaps no longer close completely.

Done.
