  2. Read out fault memory.
  3. Eliminate cause of damage.
  4. Disconnect battery negative terminal.
  5. Make sure that no safety-related system according to connection scheme (e.g. anti-lock braking system, active rear-axle kinematics, airbags, etc.) are influenced. Otherwise replace faulty wiring harness or use repair cable (sourcing reference: BMW Parts Service).
  6. Carry out function test and read out fault memories again.
  7. Eliminate new faults if applicable and clear fault memories

NOTE: The repair range IV for vehicle electrical system contained the required special tools and individual parts for retrofitting and repair work with the aid of fan connectors.
