Vehicle Identification (VID) Block
Some PCMs contain a memory area called a vehicle identification (VID) block.
The PCM VID block may contain the factory settings for the PCM, unless the PCM is flashed with a new calibration, in which case some PCM parameters may be modified.
As-Built Data Center
The As-Built Data Center maintains a record of the vehicle configuration in a database. The vehicle VIN is required to obtain this information. The As-Built Data Center records the applicable module configurations stored in each module before the vehicle leaves the factory. The As-Built Data Center will always reflect the original build of the vehicle as it left the factory. Only contact the As-Built Data Center when directed to do so by the diagnostic tool.
