In a previous video we had a look at a customers 2009 Jeep Grand Cherokee that had a customer complaint of the tach and speedo dropping out. We quickly discovered that the CAN B data bus was having some issues and we narrowed it down to the front control module and some corrosion. Now it is time to get it fixed.
-Enjoy!

A truly humble intelligent professional man. The man who knows his profession but is willing to say, well I have done all I can do. Let’s call Keith as I believe he has the ability to solve this final issue. A true team effort and because Eric, lead the team to a used module, proved it was the repair needed. Then brainstormed with Keith to give the customer an economically repaired vehicle. Eric your skills, integrity and knowledge of contacts abilities is what sets you apart from the rest. Great job! Hats off to Keith also

Perhaps one should get into the junkyard business now, and reap the benefits of the need for back flashing modules to differing vin's. Another excellent diagnostic win for SMA and the customer.

You are 100% correct. Even folks not in the rust belt will be SOL when (not if) the manufacturer stops supporting the overcomplicated electronics crap. I'm an EE and have done electronics and electromechanical repairs my whole life so I'm not against electronics, give me electronic ignition over points all day long. Node locked modules that require special tools to reprogram are bad enough, making them so they can't be reprogrammed is criminal. For most folks a car is the second largest purchase they will ever make with their house being number one. Imagine if houses worked like cars. Your fridge dies but is node locked to your house. The only fridge that will work with your house is no longer supported and so you find a used one, but you can't program it to work with your house without knowing the guy with the special software to reset (hack) your fridge and then you have to pay $150 to access the house builder's website to program the used, reset, fridge just to get it to work. Nobody would put up with this with their house, but we bend over and take it when it comes to cars. Why?

Great video as always Mr O. Oh how I miss the good old days of repairing vehicles with a set of basic hand tools. Technology is wonderful on one hand but a pain in the arse on the other.

Nice fix against all the hurdles the Chrysler highwaymen put up. Little victories Mr O. Little victories.

Eric says, "I don't know everything." OK, but if you know where the answers are, well, you pretty much do. OUTSTANDING!

Great job Eric! I had a laugh when you mentioned that "we're" not going to be having any classic car shows with 2015's and newer showing up....That's so true. The more a vehicle becomes software defined, the easier it is to become obsolete.

Yeah, the manufacturers wield that "Obsolescence Sword" with cunning and skill...it's all about money.
