Accord V6-3.0L (2003)
^
To replace a PCB, you need the ESD/anti-static mat from the PCB tool kit (P/N 07AAZ-SDAA170) and a clean work surface.
^
Before you open the audio unit or handle the replacement PCB, attach the wrist strap (included in the PCB tool kit) around one of your wrists,
and attach the alligator clip to the ESD mat.
^
Replacement PCBs come with a new serial number label, an anti-theft code card, and two labels with the new serial number and anti-theft code.
Apply the serial number label to the anti-theft card, and give the card to the customer. Make sure the customer knows the importance of keeping
the anti-theft code card in a safe place. Advise them to discard the original anti-theft code card.
