ENABLE CONDITIONS 

Malfunction Threshold 

The diagnosis signal is low for at least 2 seconds. 

Diagnosis Details 

Conditions for illuminating the MIL 

When a malfunction is detected, the MIL comes on and the DTC and the freeze frame data are stored in the 
PCM memory. 

Conditions for clearing the MIL 

The MIL will be cleared if the malfunction does not recur during three consecutive trips in which the 
diagnostic runs. 

The MIL, the DTC, and the freeze frame data can be cleared by using the scan tool Clear command or by 
disconnecting the battery. 

DTC P0630 (139): ADVANCED DIAGNOSTICS 

DTC P0630: VIN NOT PROGRAMMED OR MISMATCH 

Fig. 99: Vehicle Identification Number Output Program 

General Description 

The powertrain control module (PCM) stores a vehicle identification number (VIN) in the keep-alive 
memory and outputs the VIN according to the command from the scan tool. 

The VIN for each vehicle is registered to the PCM using the scan tool. The registered VIN is read by the 
CPU from the keep alive memory after the ignition is turned on or after the Clear command is executed. 

If the VIN is not registered in the keep-alive memory when the ignition is turned on or when the Clear

Fig. 100: Powertrain Control Module Power Control Circuit Diagram 

General Description 

After the ignition switch is turned off, the powertrain control module (PCM) does not shut down 
immediately. After finishing a predetermined process according to the request of each device and system, 
the power supply is automatically disconnected (self shut-down function). The PCM power is disconnected 
by controlling PGM-FI main relay 1 (FI MAIN). 

During a normal PCM shut down, the shut down process is executed by the CPU, PGM-FI main relay 1 (FI 
MAIN) is turned off, and the voltage to the PCM is turned off to shut down the PCM. When the voltage to 
the PCM is turned off and the PCM shuts down without the normal shut down procedure, a malfunction in 
the PGM-FI main relay 1 (FI MAIN) control circuit is detected and a DTC is stored.

Malfunction Threshold 

The PCM is shut down without the normal shut down procedure. 

Diagnosis Details 

Conditions for illuminating the MIL 

When a malfunction is detected during the first drive cycle, a Temporary DTC is stored in the PCM 
memory. If the malfunction recurs during the next (second) drive cycle, the MIL comes on and the DTC and 
the freeze frame data are stored. 

Conditions for clearing the MIL 

The MIL will be cleared if the malfunction does not recur during three consecutive drive cycles in which the 
engine conditions are similar to the first time the malfunction was detected. 

The MIL, the DTC, the Temporary DTC, and the freeze frame data can be cleared by using the scan tool 
Clear command or by disconnecting the battery.
