OBDII P0630 CODE
I just pulled my 2008 Elise out of storage and reconnected the battery. Got an engine light. My Code reader tells me a P0601 Check Sum Error which I cleared with the reader and a P0630 Code - PCM VIN Not Program, Or Mismatch. Funnily enough the code reader does read the VIN when I switch to that function. The code will not erase as I tried. Obviously the no PCM VIN is still beng thrown. My question is will the PCM relearn the VIN or is this a trip to the dealer to re-enter the correct VIN onto the PCM?
Does anyone have any experience with an VIN editor like Digital Horsepower and will this work on the Lotus ECU?

as you saw
P0601, ecu was reset P0630, vin number is no longer valid, since it reset and it wiped out all the info. Are you sure it reads the cars real VIN, and not ending in something like 0000 The dealer can reprogram it back in, i don't think its a standard function so lotus tool only, it might change the temp readouts on the cluster too. If the cluster is unaffected, all it'll do is throw the code and put the light on.

I'll double check the VIN readout again I belive it was the correct number but I'm not betting a paycheck. Interesting that the reset might affect temp display. If it defaults to centigrade thats perfect actually.
Any experience with a VIN editor?

Only my own and the lotus ones.
It might be a universal obd II function, but i'd have to go check. The vin number tells the car what country its in. hence the c/f switch
