Initialization/reset behavior

2011 BMW 740iSECTION Initialization/reset behavior

Different checks and initialization are carried out when the EHC control unit is powered up after a reset (triggered by an undervoltage or also by load cutout off VA_AUS).

The system is only enabled after the tests have been successfully completed and starts to execute the control programs on a cyclical basis. Occurring faults are stored and displayed.
