Resolving Error Code D445

To resolve this error, it is recommended to have the TCM reprogrammed or replaced by a qualified mechanic. Consulting with a professional technician is advised to accurately diagnose and fix the specific issue causing the error code D445 on your vehicle.

Steps to Fix Error D445:

2. Access the Biennial zip code list through the Dashboard under Tools section located on the right-hand side of your screen.

If you encounter error D445 due to a smog and zip code mismatch in California, it may be because certain zip codes in the state do not require smog checks. In such cases where an address change has occurred from previous ownership, processing at a field office or SPU will be necessary for resolution.

If you receive an error indicating that a vehicle cannot be processed due to its location in a Biennial smog zip code, kindly reach out to [email protected] requesting them to resend required information for rectification.

Error codes like D445 often pertain to non-biennial zip code issues where electronic filing (efile) becomes problematic despite no requirement for smog checks. To provide further assistance, please share last 6 digits of VIN for detailed review of this particular case.

Error codes D445 and D446 are specifically linked with smog checks during vehicle renewals at DMV. These errors necessitate detection of smog before renewal processing can occur if due. Vehicles registered within Non Biennial zip codes are ineligible for efile processing as well.
