Labor Description

It is recommended that you select a vehicle before you use the labor description search.  Selecting a vehicle first will ensure that labor descriptions displayed actually apply to the vehicle.

To perform a labor lookup based on a labor description, do the following:

1. Navigate to the Labor Description Search Text field.

   

2. If appropriate, check the Whole Word and the Vehicle/Data Specific Descriptions check boxes.

1. 4. The Whole Word check box limits your search to whole words that are actually in the catalog, If the check box is deselected, the system will search on parts of words. For example, if you enter the word oil, the search results returns words containing coil as well.

   • The Vehicle/Data Specific Descriptions check box limits your results to those that will return results for the selected vehicle. It uses the descriptions set up in your MCLManufacturer Coverage List.

3. Type all or part of a labor description and press <Enter>.
   
   For example, type the description oil and press <Enter>.
   
   The system displays a list of labor descriptions that contain the word or words that you entered.

   

   

4. Select one or more labor descriptions.

   To select a labor description, do one of the following:

   • Use the arrow keys to navigate to the desired description, press <Spacebar> to select the item.  Repeat for each desired description.
      

   • Type the numbers in front of the description. For example, if you had used the word exhaust as the search term, then you could type <0><1><7> for Exhaust Manifold.  Repeat for each desired description.
      

5. Press <Enter> to confirm the description selection.
