P0630 OBD-II: VIN not Programmed or Incompatible - ECM/PCM
P0630 Severity
Should you fix P0630 yourself?
Identifying an OBD code is just the start of a complete diagnostic routine. Most trouble codes are caused by a sensor reporting a value that is out of range. Just replacing a sensor may not fix underlying issues. Be sure to understand the code, the part or system in your car that the code refers to, and the risks of delaying professional repair.
Proper diagnosis will save you time and money on unnecessary repairs.
Urgent codes indicate immediate action is necessary. These are urgent and significant malfunctions that can cause severe damage to the vehicle or harm the driver and passengers.
What causes OBD-II fault code P0630?
The engine control module (PCM) runs software that is based off of the vehicle's Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). If this data is not programmed to the PCM correctly when the PCM is replaced, or becomes corrupt, the PCM will set code P0630.
