How To Perform Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) Writing: Notes

CAUTION: The F.A.S.T-Key (Free-hand Advanced Security Transmitter) is described as the Keyless Operation System (KOS) in this information. (KOS is indicated as F.A.S.T. in the scan tool display.)

Follow the procedure below to register the VIN of the Wireless Control Module (WCM) and the Keyless Operation System (KOS).

The VIN is stored in the engine control module (ECM), WCM, and the KOS-ECU. If the VIN is improperly erased, the engine warning light or the keyless operation system warning indicator illuminate, and the diagnostic trouble code is displayed. When the ECM, WCM, and the KOS-ECU are replaced, follow the procedure below to write the VIN.
