JEEP SKIM KEY PROBLEM... SOLVED!!!! ECM REPROGRAMMED Jeep Grand Cherokee. Remove SKIM from ECM

Please subscribe to my channel for more helpful videos! I really appreciate it!!! #jeeplife

Thsnk you for the referral. When i bought my Jeep 3 years ago my mechanic used the same people for a refurbished brain and i currently have this issue going on. The lady Jessi was extremely nice and helpful. I didn't call her back on time with the VIN number and they closed but you were a great help and i thank you for the content. My jeep looks just like yours

I have a 2004 Grand Cherokee 4.0 4x4 & I called my local Auto Zone & for $197.19 they deleted the SKIM module. All you need to do is bring in the PCM, the mileage & VIN#. Done! Thank you so much for this video. Before I found your video I took it to a shop & they burned me for $500 saying they couldn't fix it & sent me to a local dealer who would of charged me $1700! I googled & found you...😊

SO MANY people need to see this! I've researched this issue and WHAT a NIGHTMARE! Thanks for sharing ~ ~ ~

DUDE!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH,did everything you said that company did just like you showed,ZERO ISSUES WITH MY JEEP FINALLY,only cost 270 bucks compared to +1,000's.

I am about to have my SKIM delete done after losing my key. I replaced the barrel and key which will now just be e dead metal key and barrel. One thing as you probably know is that you MUST remove the SKIM reader before reinstalling the SKIM deleted ECU / PCM. If it is left connected it reactivates the SKIM system and you're back to square one. Good video.

Thank you for posting this I will try it out. I've been trying to figure out what the heck is going on for a while. I replaced the ignition switch which was a major pain the the rear. It worked for about three days and then it went back to doing the exact same thing again. So I will check out the skim module as you suggested and see what I get. Thanks again.

By the way if anyone is doing the disconnect the battery trick like he desribes there is no need to wait 10 to 20 min just step on the brakes or turn on the headlights or anything all you need to do is drain the stored energy that is held in and capacitors in the computer

I've been scouring the net for weeks for a decent economic repair for this garbage anti theft system and thanks to you I may have found it. I hope they are still offering this service. I just emailed them to find out. You made a subscriber out of me. Thanks man. Ill keep you informed and tell everyone I know

Thank you so much. Saved me a trip to the dealership

Dude thanks so much that place fixed it fast snd it works flawlessly... thank you so much...

So many issues so little time except if I watch your channel!! thanks

Now i known why my 2005 dakota start with a regular metal key. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you. Hope this works. Had my ECM repaired. Wish I would have asked them to disable the skim module while they were at it.

This actually works. I just fixed my nephew’s 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee V8 Saturday morning. They now charge $125 to reprogram the computer. But since my nephew lives 5 hours away (10 hours roundtrip drive time, not including removing the computer), it was cheaper and saved me time by ordering one of their computers with his VIN# programmed in it for $234, they also charged an additional $50 to program the computer to bypass the skim, so a total of $284 including shipping. I ordered the computer on Tuesday, January 7, 2020 and received the new computer on Friday, January 10, 2020. I made that 5 hour ride late Friday night. After installing the new computer and with the skim removed, the Jeep would crank and run, but it was still in anti-theft mode, the horn and lights would flash and the power window switch and locks on the drivers door would not work. I disconnected the battery, reconnected the skim, held both positive and negative battery cables together for 3 minutes to reset the computer. Reconnected the battery. Now everything works like it’s supposed to. Thanks for this post!!! The stealership told me it just needed a new key fob programmed to the vehicle, a cost of $289 + $89 = $378 not including taxes. Had I listened to them I would have been out of an additional $378 + taxes, because that a key fob would not have fixed the problem.

Thanks man, glad I found that P0513 code and sequentially this video!

Thanks for this ... my understanding is that reprogramming and not including skim would result in the light not illuminating, but I still see the light on your dash. My understanding is by removing the PCM the light stays on -- only the reprogram (after the SKIM is removed) will keep the light off. Helpful nonetheless ... I've changed a fuel pump , ignition switch, lock cylinder, actuator ... what a headache.

Wow I learned something about my used jeep. That light comes on and I have only one key. It happens to be black so no chip. Now I will take it apart to see if there is a skim module and whether it is just un plugged. Maybe it was programed already. I want the skim to work but maybe I will set something else up instead for anti theft. Either way great info you shared thanks.

thank you becausw i just bought a jeep for 250 because of this exact problem. i knew there had to be a way to fix ix! so now for 250 plus cost of removing the skim from the ecm i will have an excellent running vehicle

WOW, SO AWESOME I came a cross this by accident so I called them.... Update on price is now $160.00 to have it disabled or $360.00 for my 04 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited.😁😁😁😁😁. THANK YOU......From Idaho
