Vehicle Info
Mode 9 views Vehicle Identication Numbers (VINs),
calibration ID(s), and verication number(s).
1. Select Vehicle Info from the Generic OBDII screen.
2. Follow the prompts on the screen.
The 17 digit VIN provides information on the vehicle including
year of manufacture, engine and possibly transmission type,
vehicle body style, and color. Mode 9 is not supported on older
vehicles, so a visual check of the VIN through the windshield or
on the door sticker would be required to obtain that VIN. Mode 9
is used on the tool to AutoID the vehicle and for calibration
verication to see if a newer calibration is available for re-ashing
the ECU.
