    E70 Reset short circuit in FRM

    Hi,
    Recently I got problem with right side tail light. Simply does not work and error shows short circuit.
    By using INPA I found that FRM II module installed, but description file loaded FRM_70.
    When I tried to use file FRM_70 I did not find
    RESET_KURTZSCHLUSS_SPRRE
    and does not work also
    STEUERN_RESET_KURTTSCHLUSSABSCHALTUNG
    I tried to use in Tool 32 FRM_87 file and Job " reset kurzschluss_sperre " and got
    " error ecu subfunction not supported invalid "

    Will very appreciate any advice how to solve this problem,
    Thank you.

    download and place this file in C:\EDIABAS\ECU\ overwriting the old one. Then try again.

    Good progress with new file FRM_70

    Good progress, thank you.
    New file contains job:
    _reset_kurzschluss_sperre.
    I successfully erase all 3 shorts. After immediately check with INPA and ISTA. Both did not show any fault codes.
    But when I perform visual check I found out that it does not work and fault codes appears again.
    I repeat erasing and check with another person.
    After erasing light works just about 10-15 seconds and gone.
    I repeat erasing and check couple times more, but result still same.
    2 codes related these light appears again and again, see picture.

    Now is a good question, what to do?

    I have originally installed FRM module from this car. It was replaced 2 years ago because all window stop works.
    Maybe try it, but need to erase fault codes in FRM for window?!

    It probably means you still have the short circuit and need to fix the wiring

    Thumbs up Problem with tail light E70 - solved

    Hi,
    Enda320 you was right.
    I checked the counter with "STATUS_LAMPEN_KURZSCHLUSS_COUNTER" and find exact same 2 errors that before. I placed picture in my previous post.
    Next I decided to check physically what is go on in light assembly. Thank you Enda320, this is your advice.

    In right assy I did not find any problem, looks like just installed brand new. But in middle right side ( 5th door ) I found lots of dirty spots. It is pain in your u........ to remove it from door but it worth. This is show me that it has leaks. I cleaned with contact cleaner and tested .
    Result wonderful, no more short related errors and everything became to properly work.

    After I put everything back, indeed seal properly.
    So far everything good.

    Thank you everybody for response/advice.
