PM counter for a unit was not reset, then reset that counter with SP 7-904. 
4.  Make sure that the exchange counter counts up with SP7-853. 
5.  Make sure that the counters for the previous units (SP7-906) on the new SMC 
logging data list (from step 2 above) are equal to the counters (SP7-803) for 
these units on the previous SMC logging data list (the list that was output in the 
“Before removing the old parts” section). 
6.  Make sure that the unit replacement date is updated with SP7-950.
