VIN not Programmed or Mismatch - ECM / PCM (P0630)
DTC P0630 is stored when the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) is not stored in the Engine Control Module (ECM) or the input VIN is not accurate. Input the VIN with the Techstream.

- Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
- Turn the ignition switch to ON and turn the Techstream on.
- Clear the DTCs (even if no DTCs are stored, perform the clear DTC procedure) (See page
). - Turn the ignition switch off and wait for at least 30 seconds.
- Turn the ignition switch to ON and turn the Techstream on.
- Wait 5 seconds or more.
- Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Trouble Codes.
- Read the Pending DTCs.
HINT:
- If a pending DTC is output, the system is malfunctioning.
- If a pending DTC is not output, perform the following procedure.
- Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Utility / All Readiness.
- Input the DTC: P0630.
- Check the DTC judgment result.
Techstream Display
Description
NORMAL
- DTC judgment completed
- System normal
ABNORMAL
- DTC judgment completed
- System abnormal
INCOMPLETE
- DTC judgment not completed
- Perform driving pattern after confirming DTC enabling conditions
N/A
- Unable to perform DTC judgment
- Number of DTCs which do not fulfill DTC preconditions has reached ECU memory limit
HINT:
- If the judgment result shows NORMAL, the system is normal.
- If the judgment result shows ABNORMAL, the system has a malfunction.
- If the test result is INCOMPLETE or N/A and no pending DTC is output, perform a universal trip and check for permanent DTCs (See page
).
HINT:
- If a permanent DTC is output, the system is malfunctioning.
- If no permanent DTC is output, the system is normal.
HINT:
Read freeze frame data using the Techstream. The ECM records vehicle and driving condition information as freeze frame data the moment a DTC is stored. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can help determine if the vehicle was moving or stationary, if the engine was warmed up or not, if the air fuel ratio was lean or rich, and other data from the time the malfunction occurred.
PROCEDURECHECK ANY OTHER DTCS OUTPUT (IN ADDITION TO DTC P0630)
(a) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
(b) Turn the ignition switch to ON.
(c) Turn the Techstream on.
(d) Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Trouble Codes.
(e) Read the DTCs.
Result | Proceed to |
|---|---|
DTC P0630 is output |
A |
DTC P0630 and other DTCs are output |
B |
NOTICE:
If P0630 is output, the VIN must be input into the ECM using the Techstream. However, all DTCs are cleared automatically by the Techstream when inputting the VIN. If DTCs other than P0630 are output, check them first.
HINT:
If any DTCs other than P0630 are output, troubleshoot those DTCs first.
