B2206-CURRENT VIN MISSING/MISMATCH

For a complete wiring diagram Consult Diagrams/Electrical.

Theory of Operation

When powered, the Occupant Classification Module (OCM) monitors the CAN BUS for a Powertrain Control Module (PCM) broadcast message containing the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). For a new OCM the VIN will be latched as the Original VIN and Current VIN after 10 ignition cycles. During each power-up the OCM monitors the BUS message for a valid VIN, if the VIN is missing the DTC will be set active.

- When Monitored:
During power-up and the odometer over 50 miles, the OCM monitors the PCM VIN message.

This DTC will set if the VIN is missing.
