3 On the repair order please include the following information in the technician’s story (in the following order): Battery Part Number (being removed from the car), Terminal Stamp, and the Midtronics Test Code. The Midtronics printout should be stored in a tamperproof manner with the repair documents. To ensure that the Midtronics printout can be assigned at any given time to the repair documents, the Midtronics printout must bear the test date and the vehicle identification number.
4 When preparing the warranty or goodwill claim, the repair order data mentioned in “Step 3” (test code, part number and terminal stamp) should be entered in the beginning of the dealer text field and the Midtronics test code should be entered in the “DTC field” of the claim. Please ensure that only the Midtronics test code which prompted the replacement of the battery is entered.
