Description:

This diagnostic trouble code is generated when the vehicle identification number (VIN) from at least one other control software does not match the expected VIN. This could be due to software issues, incorrect module installation, or data corruption.

Reaction:

When this code is detected, the vehicle’s control systems may restrict functionality to prevent potential operational issues due to the mismatch in identification information.

Recommendations:

Verify VIN Information:

• Ensure all control modules have the correct VIN programmed. Reprogram any module with incorrect VIN information.

Inspect Module Installation:

• Check for correct installation and compatibility of all control modules. Replace or reprogram any incorrect modules.

Software Updates:

• Update the software on all relevant control modules to ensure they are operating with the latest information and protocols.

Check for Data Corruption:

• Inspect for signs of data corruption within the control modules. Reprogram or replace any affected modules.

Note:

VIN mismatches can cause significant operational limitations. Address this issue promptly to restore full functionality to the vehicle.
