There is an alternative PIN that can be used in the event of the operator forgetting the current resetted PIN which
uses numbers taken from the trailers VIN (vehicle indentification number).
Note: This is only valid if the VIN digits 14 to 17 are numbers.
Password calculation
The alternative PIN is made up of the following:
1st digit = 3 + digit 14 of the VIN
2nd digit = 1 + digit 15 of the VIN
3rd digit = 4 + digit 16 of the VIN
4th digit = 1 + digit 17 of the VIN
Note: If the result of the password digit calculation is greater than 9, you must only use the last digit,
e.g. 4 + 8 = 12 use the 2 in the new PIN.
Here is a worked example:
VIN = Haldex 80123456789
1st digit
3 + 6 (digit 14 of the VIN) = 9
2nd digit
1 + 7 (digit 15 of the VIN) = 8
3rd digit
4 + 8 (digit 16 of the VIN) = 12
4th digit
1 + 9 (digit 17 of the VIN) = 10
The alternative PIN would be 9820
