  3. Use tweezers to carefully remove the Micro SD card from the MCU.
    CAUTION: If the Micro SD card is accidentally dropped into the MCU chassis, completely remove the MCU from the vehicle, and gently shake the MCU with the Micro SD card slot down to work the loose Micro SD card out of a chassis opening. If this is unsuccessful, the MCU will need to be opened to remove the Micro SD card.
