Variant Encoding Procedure: Notes

If a DME M1 .X control module replacement is required, determine which method of variant encoding you can use.

Adopting the code is the preferred method since it prevents any error when manually entering the code. If the control module cannot communicate on the diagnostic link the manual input method will be necessary.
