REVISION SUMMARY

Under TOOLS AVAILABLE FOR LOAN, The Smart Cable T/N (AHM03AK0010L) was removed.

PURPOSE

l The Special Tool Loan Program helps you service vehicles by making available special tools that are needed only occasionally, or that are no longer available.

l Not all special tools are in this program; generally, only the tools listed in this service bulletin are available. Other tools may be available; check with the Acura Tool and Equipment Program at 800-824-9655. This program is not a substitute for your required tools.

HOW THIS PROGRAM WORKS

To request the loan of a special tool, call the Acura Tool and Equipment Program at 800-824-9655. Make sure the required service parts are available before you place your request.

l Tool requests must be made by the parts or service manager, or someone within your dealership with the authority to charge to the balance forward account.

l  We will notify your dealership about the availability of the requested tools.

Tools requested before 4:00 p.m. Central Time will be shipped to your dealership that day or by your requested need-by date. Any tools requested after 4:00p.m. will be shipped to your dealership on the following business day.

Tools may be borrowed for a maximum of 3 working days. The tool loan fee is $45.00 (for up to three tools) plus the shipping costs to your dealership. You are responsible for the return shipping.

The OTC 6525 Smoke Machine loan fee is $100.00plus the shipping costs to and from your

When returning the smoke machine, make sure to use the preprinted return shipping document included in its shipping container.

If everything is in order, your dealership's balance forward account will be billed for only the tool loan and shipping fees.
