Procedure
Identify the ECU and pick the cable: BMW MSD/MSV on the bench -> CB013 - MSD/MSV bench connection cable set.
BMW with MD/MG ECUs -> CB023 - BMW MD/MG ECU connection cable.
Mercedes-Benz with MD1/MG1 ECUs, for FBS4 Manager and for the ECU Programming Tool -> CB030 - Mercedes-Benz MD1/MG1 ECU connection cable.
RH850/V850 micros -> CB501 - RH850/V850 connection cable with the ZN085 - Abrites programmer RH850/V850.
For BDM reading use the ZN073 - BDM programmer; for the rest of the bench setup the ZN074 - ECU reading set.
If you need to extend the direct CAN connection use the CB029 - Direct CAN connection extension cable.
With the cable connected to the ECU and to the AVDI (with the ZN051 when the procedure calls for it), power up the bench and start the read from the software; always save the original file before writing.
