I think you should bring it back to who ever installed it and get them to re-program it.

Sure it can have the VIN reprogrammed. How do you know they put in an "X" instead of a "Y"? And how can they claim to have done it right if they did?

Anyway a bad VIN will indeed cause the check engine light to come on (the PCM must sync to the ABS controller).

Is this a Dealer you're working with?

If not - go to a Dealer.

If it is - go to a different Dealer, this one's an idiot.
