VIN programming procedure

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2020 Kia Sedona. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) is a number with the vehicle 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 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) will be set.

CAUTION: VIN cannot be changed once it is programmed. Confirm carefully when writing the VIN.

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