When this module goes bad it doesnt let you comunicate with front or rear sam and other modules as well, i took it apart and found some corrosion in side of it, so i bought a used one on ebay but i think it needs to be programmed in order to work on a different vehicle, thats what im trying to find out does it need to be programmed in order for the car to recognize it?

At first i thought it was the battery so i went and replaced the batteries both big and small since the car was a little slow when starting because of the extreme cold we’ve had and plus i dont drive it much, anyway that didnt make a difference then i did some research and found water under driver seat bay and came to find out that the gateway module has a short in it i took it apart and found corrosion and a little burnt spot, bought a used gateway module with exact same numbers on it plugged it in and it made no difference to the symptoms the car has, I tried to scan reprogram it with my scanner but no luck, I was told that dealer needs to do it but i found a shop online that can clone it with the damaged one so thats my route for now, we’ll see if this fixes my problem
