C. HHT Module Program Update Service

The Hand-Held Tester (HHT) is designed with an exchangeable module which contains vehicle specific diagnostic programs. Periodic updates to HHT modules and the introduction of new HHT modules ensure that the technician is provided with the very latest diagnostic information concurrent to production changes and the introduction of new models. Therefore, it is very important to use the latest HHT module available when performing diagnoses.

The "HHT Module Program Update Service" was developed to provide the dealer with specific instructions on how to return outdated modules. We must stress that it is essential to follow the guidelines detailed herein as returned modules are reprogrammed for use in future updates. Delays in the return of outdated modules have a direct effect on the timely availability of updates.

1. Upon receipt of an updated module, remove the outdated module by unlocking the module compartment lid and pressing the release button on the back of the tester. Remove the previous version module and insert the updated edition.

2. Submit a manual AFA on MBNA form no. 512 for the outdated module being returned.
Do not submit this AFA form via MB-NET. The AFA form must accompany the return shipment.

The following information must be included when preparing the AFA:
- Part Number: S-6511-_ _ _ _-CORE
- Description: HHT Module Core
- Quantity: (e.g. 1)

Dealers returning more than one (1) HHT module should return all modules using one AFA form.

Do not include any other type of parts on this AFA!

3. Ship the outdated HHT module along with the completed AFA and Information Sheet (supplied with updated module) to MBNA via UPS insured.
