3. Generate SCN Coding Information.
(H) Click "F3 Query" button (Figure 7).
Note:
If you see the following message (Figure 7a) pop-up after pressing the "F3 Query" button (Step 3), this means that the SA Code that you have entered has already been reflected in the vehicle record. Because the SA Code is already in the vehicle record, it cannot be entered in again. Please delete the SA Code that was entered (Figure 6, Arrow D) and Click the "F3 Query" button again to generate the SCN Code. The SCN Code will be generated and it will reflect the Dealer Fit Accessory that has been installed into the vehicle.

Frequently Asked Questions about the CD Burning Method
What CD's can be used?
You are able to use a CD-Recordable (CD-R) Compact Disc.
What should my computer have?
Your computer should already be available to operate the Online SCN Coding Application as per S-B-07.61/38f.
Your computer should also have a CD-R/CD-RW drive with a CD burning application (Ex. Nero or Roxio).
I burned the CD and went back to the SDS machine, but it does not recognize the CD. Now what?
What probably happened was either the CD was defective or the CD was not burned properly. Discard the defective CD and try burning the CD again after generating the SCN Codes.
Can I reuse the CD for another vehicle?
No. The CD is for one vehicle only. Once the SCN Coding is performed on the specified vehicle, the CD should be destroyed and disposed of.
