ACES IDs

To be considered valid for ACES, online catalogs and repair diagnostic databases look for ACES IDs in the vehicle record. If no ACES IDs are in the vehicle record, you are prompted to select ACES vehicle information, which adds the ACES IDs to the vehicle record in the R.O. Writer database permanently.

You add these IDs when you validate a vehicle for ACES. Vehicles are validated by entering the ACES vehicle information (including the engine) on the

ACES Vehicle Selector window that pops up when you access an online catalog or repair database that requests it.
