How to reset cpu
I just put a different steering column on my Cherokee the other day and the Cpu is cutting the jeep off after 5 sec. Is there a way to reset the Cpu to recognize the different steering column???

More info like year make and model will help a lot,But it sounds like the anti theft system is not seeing the key you might have to talk to a dealership or a locksmith to fix that/

If you have the security key system, you'll need the SKIM from the old column. Everything is integrated so it would be very hard to eliminate it entirely.
