    You're gunna want to start with the RF HUB and write the correct VIN into that man, ive had to do practically the same thing youre trying to do with a scatpack that got stolen and brought to the dealership i work at, it is annoying and time consuming, you have to write each VIN into each module practically one by one

    There was a recent video by the Car Wizard that touched on module issues with Dodge and complaints being filed with the department of transportation. As he explained that Dodge does not allow used modules to be reassigned to a new VIN and unfortunately, Dodge is having backorder issues on various modules.

    Bro you need me! 25 years in the computer game. That error looks like the command actually being sent has something wrong with the data. Too many chars , spaces , illegal chars etc. gotta see what the app is doing to build the command and what it sends to the ECu. May be able to hijack that and modify. The other issue I can think of is some of those modules aren’t writable, must be a flag or another setting that sets read only. Ping me.

    Some modules are grounded through the module housings so for good measure I Would make sure you have a good ground for the modules unless they have a plastic body and be careful if you are doing any welding on the car.
    Make sure your twisted comm lines are away from any electrical “noise” and not touching ground so they can communicate properly with SGW module and the rest of the network and make sure the star connector is good if it has one and not burnt up.

  • @jezpigg4529
    @jezpigg4529 3 дні тому +7

    Some car modules use modbus to communicate, modbus is great but has its issues, mainly if you change anything at all, unplug, plug back in etc you need to power down everything for it to reset the communications.

    Dodge has a flash for every challenger and charger when the get the pdi done and it flashes a program on it that completely bricks every module if it gets stolen and prevents the modules getting programmed. One of the guys had to fix some at a dealer I worked for and had to replace everything that had the vin programmed into it. There should be info on what to do in the dealer connect software on it all.

    Dodge is just a pain in the a$$ when it comes to electronics! I remember replacing the crank sensor on my 2002 Dodge ram 1500 with the 360 Magnum engine with a Dorman sensor. The truck either wanted to pull through the brakes at a stop or stall for 5 mins. I put my physically broken Mopar crank sensor back in and the truck has been running great for the last 4 years. 🤨
