Liberty 2002 refused to start

[malagbile]

Hi all

My 2002 liberty jeep refused to start. Iam told by the mechanics that the ECU is bad and will have to be changed. How do I go about it?. Do we have to reprogramme the unit?

 

[wrangler_x03]

the cheapest way to do that is go to a junk yard and buy from there and put it in you self

but you could also go to anouther mechanic for their advise?

Is it a 3.7 liter? with a P0356 DTC?

Yes. It is a 3.7L

Do you by any chance know what the DTC that your Mechanic got from your Jeep?. If it is a P0356, then you would need a PCM. Pros and cons with a Used PCM. It's Cheaper from a junkyard, however, it has to be re- programmed by a Dealer. depending on the used PCM vs. your Jeep Configuration will be contingent on how much they will need to do to re -configure that pcm on your jeep. That would mean, the dealer might charge you by the hour , however long it would take to make it work. A new PCM will only require the VIN to be programmed and the Security PIN IF it's a Skim equipped Veh. I hope this Info helps you make your descision.
