SUBJECT:
NEW HAND-HELD TESTER (HHT) MODULES 6/93, 7/93 and 9/93
In Service Information MBNA 58/63, 99/148 of May 1993, we provided you with the details of the HHT Module Update Program. We informed you of our goal to provide the Mercedes-Benz technician with the very latest diagnostic information by means of periodic HHT module updates. The following information describes these future updates and specific guidelines regarding them.
The introduction of new models and increased HHT coverage for existing models has made it impossible to provide just one HHT module for all models. Therefore, model specific HHT modules have been developed.
The table provides an overview of HHT module planning. Detailed information concerning individual modules and respective handling procedures follows.
HHT Module 6/93
HHT Module 6/93 was developed for diagnosis of new model 202. Coverage is provided for the following systems: HFM-SFI, EA, DM, ABS, ASD, ASR, AB, ATA and A/C. This module, along with its respective Test Manual, will be sent to you automatically in the month of October.
Please do not return a HHT module in exchange for the 6/93 module. This module is a new issue and, as such, does not represent an update to an existing module. As a result, upon receipt your dealer's parts account will be charged $ 500.00 to reflect the total cost of the module. Future updates to this module will reflect the standard Update Service Charge of $ 100.00.
HHT Module 7/93
HHT Module 7/93 was developed for diagnosis of models 124 and 129. Coverage is provided for the following systems: LH-SFI, DI, EA, CC/ISC, BM, ETC, ADS, ABS/ASR, ATA, EDS, HFM-SFI, DM AND AB. This module, along with its respective Test Manual, will be sent to you automatically in the month of September.
For models 124 and 129, module 7/93 supercedes coverage provided in HHT Module 2/93 which remains valid for model 140 until release of HHT Module 9/93 for model 140.
As a result, module 7/93 is also considered a new issue and should not be exchanged for an older module, i.e. DO NOT RETURN MODULE 2/93 IN EXCHANGE FOR HHT MODULE 7/93. Your dealer's parts account will be charged $ 500.00 to reflect the total cost of the module. Future updates to this module will reflect the standard Update Service Charge of $ 100.00.
HHT Module 9/93
HHT Module 9/93 was developed for diagnosis of model 140. Coverage is provided for the following systems: LH-SFI, DI, EA, CC/SC, BM, ETC, ADS, ASD, ABS/ASR, SPS, PSE, IRCL, CF, ATA, AC EDS, HFM-SFI, DM AND AB. Mailing of this module, along with its respective Test Manual, is tentatively set for September.
For model 140, module 9/93 supercedes coverage provided in HHT Module 2/93 which is made obsolete through the release of module 9/93. Please return the 2/93 module in exchange for and after you receive the 9/93 module. Your dealer's parts account will be charged $ 500.00 to reflect the Update Service Charge ($ 100.00) and the HHT Module Core Charge ($ 400.00). Upon return of the 2/93 module to the Baltimore PDC, your dealer's parts account will be credited for the core charge ($ 400.00).
IMPORTANT NOTE!
The obsolete module must be returned by the Return Date specified On the Information Sheet issued with the updated module. FAILURE TO RETURN THE OBSOLETE MODULE BY THE SPECIFIED DATE WILL RESULT IN NO CREDIT BEING APPLIED FOR THE CORE CHARGE.
