Changing the vin number in efi live

[EverydayDiesel]

Hello,

I had to get a new ecm and I have changed the vin in the very first text box under the first tab called calibration in efi live editor 7.5

The problem is that when I go to do a full flash the output still has the old vin number. How can I change this?


I changed it here (notice it starts with a 3)



Then I flash......

I assume you change it here

but what controller do you use for 6.7L cummins?

You don't change the VIN in that box under the Calibration tab.


You would change it under the VIN/BCC tab... under this tab you punch in the VIN and click Update VIN

( i.e. you don't do either of a full flash or a cal-only flash ).


Also, did you try changing the VIN from the scantool...?



Cummins...? IDK.

Thanks I realize that you don't change it on that screen but all txt boxes are grayed out until you select the correct Pcm on the first tab. I don't see cm2100 anywhere in that list

You would use v7.5 scan tool in the bi-directional tab to assign the new Vin, then read that file back out. The new Vin should be saved

Thanks Les, butbI am not sure what you mean by bi-directional tab. Are you talking about this screen? The new vin box is grayed out and wont let me enter anything but when I click the arrow <- it tells me this ....

No its in the v7.5 scan tool, you'll connect to the truck, select the CMC ecm then on the menu bar on top is a tab for bi-directional and inside is the ability to change the Vin after a flash
