Went to the dealer recently to get a couple remote entry fobs programmed and the dealer said that they couldn't get my ECU into program mode to do it.
The weird part is that they said they looked at the history of my XJ and that it was originally sold to the Fed government.
Is it possible that there is a special flash on it for the gvmt that only they could get into?
It seems like that wouldn't be the case, but the dealer couldn't answer that question.
The Jeep runs fine except that it is throwing a code. I'm thinking the ECU needs to be replaced, but I don't want to do it if it's not going to improve the situation.
BTW, if I replace the ECU, it will be a reman unit from www.autocomputerexchange.com since the dealer wants close to $700 for a brand new one (said reman isn't an option for them at the moment).
Any one have any insight?
Thanks
