1. DESCRIPTION
This registration section consists of three parts, Input Instructions, Read VIN and Write VIN.
a. Input Instructions: Explains the general VIN input instructions using an intelligent tester.
b. 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.
c. 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.
