Lads, i've had a engine check light on my V6 for many months now, and Jeep Service cannot fix it. Error code (cant remember number P0041 i think/// ) was for left bank heater circuit for the O2 sensors overcurrent. They have replaced the sensors twice, checked the wiring for a fault, now they are saying its the PCM that is actually faulty and they want me to pay $3000.00 Australian for a new one.. They say, I cant get a 2nd hand one as it has to be programmed to the VIN of the car, I cant see (and cant tell if they are telling the truth about any of this) . Is it possible to reprogam a second hand unit to the VIN of my car?????. Is there a way to fix this without all the expense. I mean the car is running fine, no apparent running issue, just the engine check light.. I'm currently about to sell it, as I have just got a 2002 CRD, and am switching all my mods to it, but, I 'll never sell a car with an engine light on.... Any Guru's know about these O2 faults and other possible causes/fixes that dont involve the PCM??? |

You can re-wright the VIN's in the PCM's,of course the dealership can only do this.If yours was not a export KJ you could get a PCM here in the states for about $200 from a junkyard,$600 from the delaership(not including any programming needed). |

Man, That astounds me, 600 there... 3000 here.... I'll speak with them, they did say they were going to try and get me "Special " pricing, but still dont think that will come close. I'll also ask again about a second hand unit.. Have you heard of these things failing before???? |
