VIN Programming Procedure

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

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 "GI IDENTIFICATION NUMBER " in this SERVICE INFORMATION). When replacing an ECM, the VIN must be programmed in the ECM. If there is no VIN in ECM memory, the fault code (DTC P0630) is set.

CAUTION:

The programmed VIN cannot be changed. When writing the VIN, confirm the VIN carefully.

Select "VIN Writing" function in "Vehicle S/W Management".
Select "Write VIN" in "ID Resister".
