I disagree. I do not believe any provision for "reprogramming" of the ECU exists, not such that you get it to proceed without the SKREEM's response. What I mean is, I don't think you can "go that far" with re-educating the ECU. I can be wrong, but I really think I'm on solid ground here.
I would think that it would be easier to build a new SKREEM from one of the microcontrollers on the market. I'm not saying to build one that actually does all the SKREEM does, but one that simply provides the response to the ECU that it is looking for.
I wonder what Josh Chase would say.... I think I'll go to Facebook and ask him.
