HOW TO PERFORM VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION NUMBER (VIN) WRITING

HOW TO PERFORM VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION NUMBER (VIN) WRITING
CAUTION: The F.A.S.T-Key (Free-hand Advanced Security Transmitter) is
described as the Keyless Operation System (KOS).
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

the key code even if the key code is registered. If this diagnostic trouble code is set,
troubleshoot the ECM and repair. Then register the key code to the ECM.
CAUTION: Check that diagnostic trouble code P0630 "VIN not programmed" is not
