ARA DAMAGE LOCATOR

Damage Locations always follow the same pattern: Front to back, top to bottom, left to right (as seen from driver's seat), in an "S" pattern, with locations for door handles and mirrors. Codes are location, damage, and hours. Example: "2D1" is a one hour dent in location 2. There may be a primary and secondary code per part, as in "2D1,4S2". If there is no damage on a part the code is 000 (as three zeros). Zero as a location indicates the entire panel, as in 0H4 (all over hail damage, 4 hours).

	Damage Code Table
B = Burn D = Dent L = Lip H = Hail	C = Crease E = Bent K = Buckle J = Rip or Crack	R = Rust on Surface P = Parking Lot Dings S = Scratch-Surface Only T = Paint Problem
	000 = No Damage (all zero)

ARA USED PART GUIDE

February 16, 2000

Developed at the ARA Standard Guide to Used Parts

ARA Interchange Committee Notes

This standard is intended to promote commerce in used automotive parts and as a guide for interchange development. The Automotive Recycling Association's goal is to create a unified description of used parts, thereby promoting all forms of commerce in automotive recycling. This standard is designed for use across all electronic platforms and computer systems.

To reach this goal all parties selling, buying and installing used parts need the common language represented by this standard. Those developing products, services, interchange or evaluations containing used parts are encouraged to use the standard. The ARA has created this standard as an inclusive, cooperative effort between everyone interested in used automotive parts, interchange standards, and recycling.

For each used part assembly, this document gives a complete description of what is included with the assembly as delivered for reuse. In addition, there is a description of what is not included, but may be additionally available depending on how the source vehicle was optioned. There are comments and footnotes to clarify the reasons why the used part assembly is prepared for reuse in the way described.

Footnotes:

1. As optioned means the part will be delivered with the options of the source vehicle. If the vehicle on which the part is to be installed has different options, these changes are the responsibility of the party having the work done.

2. On many part types the proper options installed on a particular vehicle may not be easy to determine. Manufactures routinely install parts which have significant variations without making a record of the change. In the case of mouldings variations with in single production run is not uncommon. Auto Recyclers may be able to closely match what is needed. In order for a Recycler to supply this service a detailed description of what is required must be supplied. The Recycler can only guarantee that the major assemblies will fit and work without this additional information.

3. Automatic selection of many optional parts is not possible with the limited information currently supplied by the automated systems. Work is underway to increase the flexibility of the systems now in use. Until there are improvements, those that are having the work done must be responsible for making additional information available to the Automobile Recycler.

4. Some parts, although they are attached to the part in question are sold as separate items. There are several conditions which cause this to be true. Some parts have too high of a demand as a separate item, which if included would raise the cost of the primary part above that established in the market. Other parts, if sold with the primary part will adversely affect the value of yet another item. Finally, some parts have so many options involved in their manufacture that including them on the primary part reduces that part's utility.

Standard Inventory Management System Descriptions

WINDSHIELD GLASS COLOR, TINT, and SHADE DESCRIPTIONS

The ARA standard for identification of all glass items, including windshields is based on the manufacture's own numbering system written on the glass. In the corner of any automotive glass are both the manufacture's mark and the "M Code". This code uniquely describes the color, coating, and tinting of the glass. Use both the maker's mark and the "M Code" in the inventory description. To match a glass, compare the code in the inventory to the code on the customer's vehicle. Always refer to the M Codes written on a like glass from the same vehicle.

ANTENNA CODES

WA With Antenna	WH With Heat
NA No Antenna	NH No Heat

Example: WA,NH in a description field of a windshield would denote that it has an antenna and is not heated

TRANSMISSIONS

Each transmission inventories will have two codes, each two letters long. It will separate transmission by how they are cooled and if they are automatic or manual shift.

MT Manual Transmission	EC Engine Transmission Oil Cooler
AT Automatic Transmission	NC No Engine Cooler

Example: AT,NC in a description field of a transmission would denote an automatic transmission that does not have an engine oil cooler

AXLE ASSEMBLY

Each axle assembly is given two codes. The first code is the axle ratio of the axle assembly and the last code denotes if the axle is a locking (limited slip) or non-locking type.

Type Code:

N-Non-Locking Axle Assembly
L-Locking Axle Assembly

Example: "3.08,N" in a description of an axle assembly will denote a non-locking axle with a 3.08 ratio

DOORS

Doors are given a field consisting of four codes in twelve spaces. The first code denotes the window lift type.

The second code deals with the glass colors. The next denotes the lock type and the final code describes the type of mirror, if included.

Lift Codes:

P Power Window Lift
M Manual Window Lift

Glass Color Codes: Refer to M Codes written on the glass

Lock Type Codes: PL Power Locks, ML Manual Locks Mirror Type Codes: Space 9, Space 10, Space 11, Space 12, S Sail Type, P Painted, P Power, H Heated , R Rally Type, B Black, M Manual, N No Heat, P Plain, C Chrome, R Remote, NOM No Mirror on Door

Example: P,PL,SPMN on a door would denote a power lift window, power locks and a manual painted non-heated sail mirror

DOOR SAMPLE DESCRIPTION LAYOUT

BUMPERS

Bumpers are given two codes. The first denotes the type of bumper and the last gives the pad and guard combinations. Note that painted types include plastic bumpers

Type Codes:	C = Chrome P = Painted
Pad and Guard Codes:	PD = Pad GD = Guards PG = Pads and Guards PL = Plain EC = With End Caps

Example: C,PG in a bumper description would denote a chrome bumper with pads and guards

LIFT GATE

Lift gates are defined as a rear gate that opens upward, hinged at the top, as compared to a tail gate which opens downward and has hinges at the bottom or side. These are given three codes, the first of which denotes the glass color. The second code describes whether or not there is a wiper and the final code denotes if the gate has heated glass.

Glass Color Codes: Refer to the M codes written on the glass

Wiper Codes:	WW = With Glass Wiper NW = No Wiper
Heat Codes:	WH = With Heat NH = No Heat

Example: NW,NH in a lift gate description would denote no wiper and no heat

TAIL GATE

Tail Gates are defined as opening downward, or sideways and are hinged on the bottom or side, as compared to the gate which opens upward. The tail gate has three codes just like the lift gate.

Glass Color Codes: Refer to the M codes written on the glass

Lift Codes:	P = Power Window Lift M = Manual Window Loft
Heat Codes:	WH = With Heated Glass NH = No Heated Glass

Example: P,NH on a tail gate description would denote a power window regulator and no heat
