That would do it. About the only option then is probably to get a used one and see if someone can reset it to blank. You can get the SKIM code through a dealer by giving them the VIN and proof of ownership, but then you need a blank module to write it to. The other option is to see if one of the companies that does ECU work can write the security option out of the code. flashmastersecm.com might be able to help. Never used them but a couple folks told me they used them.
