Description

The Identification group box from the Vehicle page provides 2 zones that you can use to read/edit* the vehicle serial number (VIN) and the engine serial number.  Unlike the vehicle, the engine serial number can be changed at anytime.  However when you change the engine serial number on some vehicles, B.U.D.S. automatically logs** the old number into the part replacement history.

To change the engine serial number

1.Read MPEM document from the vehicle.
2.Click on the Vehicle page thumbnail.
3.Type the new engine serial number in the Engine zone.
4.Write MPEM document into the vehicle.

Notes

When you write the MPEM document with a new engine serial number, B.U.D.S. asks you to confirm that you really wanted to change it.

On some vehicles, the VIN is limited to 17 characters, compared to 20 for others.


* - You can edit VIN if your B.U.D.S. have installed License Key Megatech.

** - You can clear the part replacement history if your version of the B.U.D.S. program have installed License Key Megatech.
