model. If the vehicle VIN is successfully decoded, it will perform auto-
diagnosis until a diagnostic report is automatically output. Otherwise it will
enter manual diagnosis mode. For details on manual diagnosis, see Chapter
5.2.2.

In general, vehicle identification numbers are standardized - all
contain 17 characters. VIN characters may be capital letters A through
Z and numbers 1 through 0; however, the letters I, O and Q are never
used in order to avoid mistakes of misreading. No signs or spaces are
allowed in the VIN.
