Autodiagnos Doesn't do this. As Tony says, lower down, A second hand ECU would have to be reset before removing from the vehicle but you would need the original security code off that vehicle to reset it. reset is a gm term for removing security data from(unmatching)ECU. Once ECU is reset it won't run until it is coded to new vehicle using new vehicles security code. The alternative would be to use ECU, Immobliser and keys off donor car. If you knew or could read chassis number from donor car or donor ECU, you could apply to dealer for a "car pass" which would have security code. Mike
