SM014 - SAGEM AC4 - Diagnostic Capabilities (Read Fault Codes)
Reads the fault code memory. The ECU can self detect up to 20 different problems with itself, its wiring and its associated sensors, storing the respective code if it detects any malfunction or reading outside of pre defined acceptable limits. Not all stored faults may cause the fault warning lamp to illuminate.

SM014 - SAGEM AC4 - Diagnostic Capabilities (Clear Fault Codes)
This function checks the fault code memory for resident faults and clears the fault code memory if the fault has been rectified. Having deleted the faults the system then rechecks the fault memory to ensure that it is clear. Failure to clear the fault memory successfully is usually due to the system re-logging the fault the moment the fault memory is clear, meaning that the fault has not been rectified properly and as far as the system is concerned, still exists. The system may also carry out a re-check for successful clearing of the fault code memory but then the system may re-log the fault shortly after.

SM014 - SAGEM AC4 - Diagnostic Capabilities (Settings)
Values, configuration settings, and other stored information which can be read from the ECU, edited and then rewritten back. Read settings can also be stored as a standard HTML page for reference. These pages can then later be re loaded and re written back to the ECU. Please note that some values may be read only due to the fact that they are supplied from the ECU’s ROM or are internally calculated.
