Default 2001 Pathfinder ECM and immobilizer problem

Replaced the bad ECM on my 2001 Pathy. Bought a used ECM and had a mechanic install it. Called a locksmith to program the used ECM, de-activate the immobilizer and make extra key. Locksmith went to the mechanics shop and couldn’t do the job. The locksmith says that that he needs the PIN number to do the programming. He says that the PIN number is randomly generated and to get this randomly generated PIN number he has to enter the BCM number from the vehicle that the used ECM was on. Went back to the ECM company to see if they could help. ECM company says that this model Pathfinder does not have a BCM on it. Can anyone confirm if there is a BCM on the 2001 Pathfinder? Does anyone know how I can get the random pin number? Should the locksmith be entering a different number in the “BCM” field? Should I just go ahead and have it towed to the dealership and let them do it. Thanks in advance for any help.
