The salvage yards, and the dealers both say that the PCM will not work..... because the vin# cannot be re-programmed.
However what I want to know is whether or not a PCM with a different vin# will still operate the vehicle without any adverse reaction since they have bus communication between modules.
2nd I would like to know what modules interact via the bus communications; and if they will not interact with eachother (because of different vin#s); can multiple modules from the same salvage vehicle be replaced as a set to operate properly?
FYI: I know that the dash cluster (speedo/odometer) can be interchanged with no adverse reaction. display odometer mileage is kept in this unit.
