Is there any good way of finding information about what used modules can be reused.
Case in point:
I have a 2010 Chevy van someone tried to steal. They tore up the steering column pretty bad. We put a complete used steering column in it. The donor had it's own keys. I was not able to program the theft module with my I-Flash J2534. I called the mobile tech we use to do some of our programming. He advised me I would have to put a new theft module, ignition lock cylinder and new keys. I did and had him program it. All is well with the van.
I assumed I would be able to reprogram the donor. Had I known, I would have not bought the used steering column.
I would like to learn more about reprogramming in general. I have the equipment and I have programmed a handful of modules with success. I have turned away a lot more because I am gun shy.
Are there resources I can go to learn more? What are they?
Thanks,
Robin
