Navigate to the Work folder which resides in your NCSEXPER directory. You will locate a file FSW_PSW.TRC This file was created when READ ECU was performed and contains the coding values for that module. Rememeber this file is overwritten each time a readout of a module is performed. It would be advised to make a backup of this file in the event you need to restore coding settings. Once you have made a backup, Right click and rename the file to FSW_PSW.MAN

Yes to make the change.
