VIN Programming Procedure

VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) is a number that has the vehicle's information (Maker, Vehicle Type, Vehicle Line/Series, Body Type, Engine Type, Transmission Type, Model Year, Plant Location and so forth. For more information, please refer to the group " GENERAL INFORMATION "). When replacing an PCM, the VIN must be programmed in the ECM/PCM. If there is no VIN in ECM/PCM memory, the fault code (DTC P0630) is set.

1. Select "Vehicle" and "Engine" (For example, TUCSON 2.0L L4).
