Dump Tool: mileage calculation/reset and control unit renewal from a dump file

The Dump Tool works on a Configuration dump file saved from the corresponding control unit. It is used to calculate odometer values, reset them, renew engine control units and perform other operations on the data read from the module.

Procedure

1. Read the Configuration dump from the control unit: it can be read over OBDII or with a programmer (mandatory for units that cannot be read over OBDII) and save it as a file.
2. Open the "Special Functions" tab and select "Dump Tool".
3. Load the dump file with the "Load dump" button.
4. If the data is not extracted or edited correctly, press "Swap bytes" to reverse the byte order in the dump and check the result again.
5. Select the sub-function you want: the tool shows the data extracted from the file and/or applies the changes (for some sub-functions no change is made, the data is only displayed).
6. If changes have been applied, save the modified dump with the "Save dump" button.
7. Write the modified dump back to the control unit over OBDII or with the programmer, keeping the same byte order used for reading.
