NO: 12B DATE: May, 90
The following updates and enhancements are available for the Volvo Multi-Function Tester. These are:
1. 1990 Model Year Upgrade
2. Battery Pack
3. K Type Thermo Probe
1. 1990 Model Year Upgrade
A software upgrade will be provided to all dealers to upgrade their testers through Model Year 1990. This upgrade is mandatory. The cost of this upgrade is $68.00 U.S. (does not include freight or in the case of Canadian dealers, any applicable duties). You will be invoiced on your parts statement.
2. Battery Pack
The Multi-Function Tester can be fitted with an optional battery pack. The benefitsto this option are:
- Allows maintaining voltage to the tester during engine cranking, thus preventing the tester from resetting to the sign-on menu.
- Provides an independent ground potential which vastly improves the performance of the volt-ohm-ammeter testing.
- Convenience of portability, eliminating the need for connecting a power connector when testing in awkward or difficult areas.
The cost of this upgrade depends on the amount of dealers who request this option. The pricing is as follows:
1-25 dealers $94.00 U.S.
26-99 dealers $90.00 U.S.
100-249 dealers $79.00 U.S.
250 + dealers $64.00 U.S.
3. K Type Thermo Probe
An optional K Type Thermo Wire Probe can be supplied at a cost of $35.00 U. S. (plus freight/duty). This accessory would make the tester more versatile in measuring coolant, ambient and component temperatures than the current temperature probe.
