First Character of Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) Dropped #1

Closed thatlarrypearson closed 7 months ago

The first character in the VIN is dropped when the first character of the VIN is '1'. This is happening on Jeep Wrangler Rubicon and Ford F-450. The first VIN character is present on the Ford EcoSport.

Will need to verify this problem using Freematics OBD-II Emulator to see if it is just '1', all digits or what.

With respect to testing with other vehicles and the Freematics OBD-II Emulator, the problem still exists and there doesn't appear to be any pattern. It is inconsistent on Ford, Toyota and Freematics emulator. The work-around is to ignore the problem and make sure that the vehicles.py file (./src/telemetry-analysis/private/vehicles.py) shows VINs consistent with the values from telemetry_obd.obd_logger. This would include the VIN specific config files in src/telemetry-obd/config/<VIN>.ini.
