AutoID®
• Automatically selects the vehicle using OBD
II Mode 9.
• Identifies vehicles to quickly set up year,
make, model, and engine.
• Coverage: AutoID can be a very fast and
accurate way to select a vehicle. AutoID
retrieves the VIN number from the vehicle’s
on-board computer for OEM’s that support
the function. The function used is Mode
9 Vehicle Information which is one of
the 10 modes of the OBD II regulation.
As illustrated below, Mode 9’s support of
AutoID varies by OEM and model year.
Very few OEM’s support Mode 9 VIN from
1996-2000. Use the information below
to understand when Auto ID is best used.
2000-2004—some US vehicles may respond
to Mode 9 From 2000-2004 it was only used
at the OEMs discretion.
• 2005-2007 —many US vehicles will
respond to Mode 9 From 2000-2007 it
was CARB advised, but not required.
• 2008-current—virtually all US vehicles
are required to respond to Mode 9
OBDII Mode 9 was not ARB required
until 2008MY.
