Auxiliary Code Breakdown
The auxiliary code is the first two characters in the serial number. The first character indicates the year. Years progress or regress in alphabetical order. The series runs from "A" through "V" and the letters "I" and "O" are skipped. The second character indicates significant part changes within a year. Base is "0" and this number advances for each change. In cases where there is a letter in parentheses, this designates the month. This is the last character in the serial number. The series runs from "(A)" through "(M)" and the letter "(I)" is skipped. This designation is only included when identifying a parts change within an auxiliary code.
Note About Ordering Parts
Most assemblies cannot be ordered as complete units; parts in the assemblies generally must be ordered separately.
