This diagnostic trouble code is triggered when the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) from other control units or control software is not received or is received incorrectly. All active VIN participants must send the programmed VIN to the control software at regular intervals.

Reaction:

The vehicle will function with limited capabilities to prevent potential errors or misuse due to incorrect VIN information.

Recommendations:

• Ensure Regular VIN Communication:
  • Verify that all control units are regularly sending the correct VIN information.
  • Check for any communication disruptions between the control units.
• Reprogram VIN Information:
  • Re-enter and reprogram the VIN in all relevant control units to ensure accuracy.
  • Use authorized tools and procedures to perform reprogramming.
• Inspect and Replace Faulty Units:
  • Identify any faulty control units that may be causing incorrect VIN transmission and replace them if necessary.
• Technical Support Consultation:
  • Contact technical support for further diagnosis and solutions if the problem continues.

Note:

Accurate and consistent VIN communication is vital for the proper functioning of the vehicle’s systems. Regular maintenance and checks can help ensure that all control units are correctly programmed and communicating.
