10. Once loaded, You will see on the left a list of Jobs available for your module. I have launched the fs_lesen job which is to read the fault memory either double-clicking on it or by selecting it & pressing F5. The Job Results will appear in the window below (Fig. 7).
Please be careful with running Jobs in Ediabas Tool32.
Some Jobs will literally wipe your ECU to a point that only the dealer or even worse – BMW Munich can recover, and to state that it wasn’t your fault will be difficult..
Some wording might not have the context you would expect so research jobs with words like: Initialisierung, Reset, Sperren, Default or Loeschen before you launch them.
In the context of Fault Memory, the Job to clear it is ‘fs_loeschen’.
Hope this helps. Would be great if someone can follow-up with similar instructions for Exx series.
