I got a rebuilt GC Sport that was hit on the ECM side. The bottom connector is broke and the car won't crank. I called a local dealer and they want $811 for the ECM which I think is to high. He said he would only program one bought through them. He said if I bought one from the exact make, model and features it would work. Are these my only options since it has a security system? Also if I find the exact ecm from the exact van will the key still work?

 

I called around and found the exact van but is a 2000. Anyone know if this will work?

 

just get a Reman PCM from http://www.allcomputerresources.com/
they'll come preprogramed, plug and play. With Warranty too!!

 

anyone know how to check if its the ecm or the anti theft keeping it from cranking? Security light doesn't blink just stays lit.

 

have the same problem with my 06 caravan light on and will not crank or start or anything pretty much let me know how you make out

 

The security system will store a code to indicate the problem area. That code has to be read by a scanner capable of reading either "body" or "chassey" codes and I don't recall which. A dealership will use their magical DRBIII do all scanner.

If the security light is on steady the system either isn't disarming or there is a fault and very likely in the SKIM module in the steering column.

On a 06, I don't think security can disable crank, it only kills off the engine 5 second after start if Theft is detected.

Maybe you got a bad starter? bad ignition switch?
