Question
How to recover an immobilizer PIN after ECU replacement when OEM support is unavailable?
Answer
Use a PIN extraction tool to read the PIN from the immobilizer module's EEPROM.
Explain
Without OEM PIN access, technicians can’t program new keys. CHEPQ immobilizer tools connect to the immobilizer module’s EEPROM (e.g., 95080 chip) and extract the 4-digit PIN via proprietary algorithms—compatible with most VW, Toyota, and GM immobilizers.
