    1999 regal

    After disconnecting battery on a 1999 regal for a few days, I now have a b1001,b1015 code.My research shows i need a tech 2 to reset the vin mismatch.Has anybody seen this before ?Anyone have a tech 2 at their disposal?Any help would be appreciated.

      Weird to have mismatched vins from disconnecting the battery. Haven't seen that very often. No other repairs performed? I usually only see this if someone replaced the bcm/pcm/sdm with a new or used part. If nothing was replaced you can try to clear codes and re-enter the vin info with a tech2. Chances are you'll find the bcm is taking a shit or someone dumped a 32oz coke at the wendys drive threw on the sdm under your carpet. The sdm has now died from diabetes.

        replaced valve cover gaskets over a weekend.One famoliy car since new.We have tried clearing the codes with a genisys but it instantly comes back.Is the tech 2 the only tool that allows VIN resets?

          Tech2 is the only scan tool I've used that can read/change vin info in modules. There probably are others that can handle doing this on '99 technology, but I've never personally used anything else.
