I haven't heard of it.
Seems like a good idea for the Chinese. I wonder who they stole it from...

Into what devices?
What does the "kill switch" look like?
How is it activated?

Interesting. I sold my Jeep which had 273,000 miles on it. It ran. AC still worked. But, it would go into "limp mode' when it idled. You needed to reset the engine by turning it off and on again. Limp mode is when one of the cylinders isn't firing for some reason. What I do know is that it wasn't the spark plugs, coil pack, easy to replace sensors (TPS) or anything easy to find. Could be clogged cats. Or, a cracked exhaust manifold. Or, needed a new timing chain. Heck, I was pleased to get 273K miles out of the engine.*GHETTOBLASTER » Yesterday, 2:53 pm » wrote: ↑ A "kill command" hidden deep inside a CPU controlled piece of electronic equipment can be done/
You wouldn't want the gizmo to fail during the warranty period you have a "clock circuit" that is constantly running and programmed to make the equipment fail after X number of hours / months or years of operation.
My Jeep engine blew at 270,000 miles.
I brought the engine into my small town machine shop to have it rebuilt.
The Engine Guy said "Take a number because there are 2 other 4.0 liter Jeep engines waiting to rebuilt ahead of you".
He asked me what the symptoms were right before it blew and how many miles were on my engine.
I gave him those details and then he mentioned that the other 2 engines had the same mileage and the same problem. One of the pistons in each of these engines had a hole in it that was made by high pressure steam. The jet of steam was produced by a crack in the cylinder head water jacket.
What would make a water jacket crack on an engine that had never been badly over heated...?
.Momentarily lean out the fuel mixture by shortening the pulse width / duty cycle of that single cylinder's fuel injector nozzle.
Effectively that acts the same way as adding a shot of air when you are using a cutting torch.
So as a joke I told the mechanic that Chrysler might have put a "bug" into the CPU to have caused what looked like an impossible coincidence with these 3 Jeep engines.
We both kind of smiled at that idea.
Then guess what I found some years later while looking through a Jeep wiring diagram...?
The car's CPU does in fact have an internal "clock" .
All of my Jeep's injectors tested OK afterwards, so it's not as if one was clogged up
The sensors that control fuel curve enrichment were all OK too.
There is 1 sensor that a dealership mechanic can't get to without pulling the engine.Skans » Today, 6:49 am » wrote: ↑ Interesting. I sold my Jeep which had 273,000 miles on it. It ran.

417K is highly respectable! So, your jeep has a 4.0? Must be an older Jeep with the inline 6. But, it can't be that old if it has a crank position sensor. Why would it even need a crack position sensor? I could understand a cam position sensor - heck, they probably work together to electronically adjust timing. Wish I had even known about that - could probably fix that one myself.*GHETTOBLASTER » 40 minutes ago » wrote: ↑ There is 1 sensor that a dealership mechanic can't get to without pulling the engine.
It's a crank position sensor that reads magnetic pulses off the flywheel
It sits close to the floor pan and about a foot from the gas pedal.
The labor cost to change out this sensor exceeds the value of the car in many cases.
The mechanic was nice enough to mention "off the record" that if I was to slit the carpet and cut open the floor right where he drew an X....that changing out that sensor was pretty easy,
He was right..!!![]()
From that day on I forced myself to learn about those systems and do all my own work on computer controlled vehicles.
BTW...my Jeep's exhaust manifold [actually a low grade stainless steel tubular header] was cracked and was easy to MIG weld.
I removed the cat converter and replaced it with $2 worth of straight pipe....
Today my Jeeps sits at 417,000 miles and counting.....
