VerifiedHi and welcome to just answer.
My name is ***** ***** I will be happy to assist you today. Sorry to hear you are having problems today. The Web Site will prompt a phone call. Ignore the popups for this. I'll let you know if it's needed.
Ok, it is safe to drive right now
As for the computer, I do need to know which one as there are around 14 or so on yours. Is it the engine control module, the abs/skid control module, the body control module, or another one.
I can tell you that any will require programming with a dealer scan tool and software, and until this is done, it will be a no start. So you will be able to replace yourself, but you will need to have it towed into a dealer for the programming
HI,
Ok, directions and diagrams attached
