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 IDENTIFICATION NUMBERS . 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".
