VIN Programming Procedure

VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) is a number with 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 "VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION NUMBER "). 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: Carefully check the VIN as it cannot be changed once programmed.
  1. Select "VIN Writing" function in "Vehicle S/W Management".
  2. Select "Write VIN" in "ID Register" menu.
