Diagnose DTC B2205 Original VIN MissingMismatch


Step 1. Determining if DTC is current

With the scan tool, erase WCM DTCs. Turn the ignition off, wait 10 seconds. Turn the ignition on wait 2 minutes, with the scan tool read the WCM DTCs.

Does the scan tool display the DTC that was previously erased?

YES, go to step 2.

YES, go to step 3.

NO, replace and program the Wireless Control Module (WCM). Perform the WCM system verification.

Step 3. Replace WCM and check DTCs

Does the scan tool display the same DTC?

YES, replace and program the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). Perform the WCM system verification.

NO, the repair is complete.

Step 4. Intermittent

Turn the ignition off.

Note: Check for the following conditions:
  • Visually inspect the related wiring harness. Look for any chafed, pierced, pinched, or partially broken wires.
  • Visually inspect the related wiring harness connectors. Look for broken, bent, pushed out, or corroded terminals.
