  1. SFI SYSTEM 
    NOTE: The Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) must be input into the replacement ECM.

    HINT:

    The VIN is in the form of a 17-digit alphanumeric vehicle identification number. The Techstream is required to register the VIN.

    1. DESCRIPTION (Using Techstream)
      NOTE: The Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) must be input into the replacement ECM.

      HINT:

      • The VIN is in the form of a 17-digit alphanumeric vehicle identification number. The Techstream is required to register the VIN.
      • This registration article consists of two parts, Read VIN and Write VIN.
      1. Read VIN: Explains the VIN reading process in a flowchart. This process allows the VIN stored in the ECM to be read, in order to confirm that the two VINs, provided with the vehicle and stored in the vehicle's ECM, are the same.
      2. Write VIN: Explains the VIN writing process in a flowchart. This process allows the VIN to be input into the ECM. If the ECM is changed, or the VIN and VIN do not match, the VIN can be registered, or overwritten in the ECM by following this procedure.
        1. READ VIN
          1. Confirm the vehicle VIN.
          2. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
          3. Turn the engine switch on (IG).
          4. Turn the Techstream ON.
          5. Enter the following menus: Powertrain/Engine/Utility/VIN/VIN Read.
        2. WRITE VIN
          1. Confirm the vehicle VIN.
          2. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
          3. Turn the engine switch on (IG).
          4. Turn the Techstream ON.
          5. Enter the following menus: Powertrain/Engine/Utility/VIN/VIN Write.
  2. AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SYSTEM (REGISTRATION) 
    NOTE:
    • When the automatic transmission is replaced, the transmission compensation code must be input into the TCM (Proceed to step  1).

      After the automatic transmission is installed, the Quick Response (QR) code label will be positioned where the code cannot be read. Therefore, before installing the automatic transmission, record the transmission compensation codes or input them into the Techstream.

    • When the TCM is replaced, the existing transmission compensation codes must be input into the new TCM (Proceed to step  2).
    1. SET TRANSMISSION COMPENSATION CODE INTO TCM (step 1)
      NOTE: Transmission compensation codes are unique, 60-digit alphanumeric values printed on the QR label. If an incorrect transmission compensation code is input into the TCM, shift shock may occur.
      1. Record the transmission compensation code specified on the QR label.

        HINT:

        The transmission compensation code is a 60-digit alphanumeric value imprinted on the QR label.

      2. Move the shift lever to the N or P position.
      3. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
      4. Turn the engine switch on (IG).
        NOTE: Do not start the engine.
      5. Turn the Techstream on.
      6. Enter the following menus: Powertrain/ECT/Utility/A/T Code Registration.
      7. Select "Set Compensation Code".
      8. Register the compensation code.
      9. Manually input the transmission compensation code.
      10. Check that the compensation code displayed on the screen is correct by comparing it with the 60-digit alphanumeric value on the QR label.
