How do I change the VIN on some new to me Blis modules using Forscan? I have my VIN to Hex numbers, just don't know how to input them. Also, this is a new to the truck blis add on.
Convert each character to Hexadecimal equivalent. Each hex value will be two characters. For example, VIN character "1" is hex "31". VIN characters 1 through 5 go in PID address 7C4-08-01 (SODL) or 7C6-08-01 (SODR). The 6th character gets put in 7C4-08-02 or 7C6-08-02. Characters 7 through 11 in 7C4-09-01 or 7C6-09-01. Charcter 12 in 7C4-09-02 or 7C6-09-02. The last five characters, 13 through 17 in 7C4-10-01 or 7C6-10-01. The last two characters in each As-built PID line are checksums and just let FORScan calculate and enter them.
Seems the problem I'm seeing now is that on a couple lines of data, I have extra blocks to fill in. Like 7C4-02-02 shows 2 entries on the forum page from above, and mine has 3 blocks to enter info. I tried leaving them blank, but it doesn't like that. Now what?
Also, the Blis mods are from a 2019 per the VIN. Mine's a 2017. Is that the issue?
