Have a 2013 WK in UK
It has an air suspension fault got a second hand ECU from Italy

Is this possible

I think this is true:
(copied and pasted):
VIN must be programed ... Basic Info, If you change the keys, instrument cluster, PCM / Computer or immobilizer module, or skim antenna you will have to reprogram everything. The gauge cluster, PCM, and skim module must ALL AGREE and have all the same VIN programmed into them. The DBRIII is the scanner to use.
(end copy and past)
Although, I believe that if you find a Jeep the same as yours with the same engine and options packages with a ECU-PCM and the stickers on both of the PCMs have matching numbers, it might work okay? On some of the older model Jeeps people claimed being able to swap in a replacement PCM from another Jeep that was the same as theirs, and they had no issues at all, they said. But, if it is a same PCM from a same Jeep and the PCMs numbers did not match, it was required to be reflashed by the dealer. Unless you have a DRBIII?
