Frequently asked

Is code 30FF safe to clear?

Clearing is only safe once you have read and recorded the freeze frame. Re-appearing after a clear is the useful signal; clearing without recording destroys it.

Is 30FF a BMW-specific or a generic code?

This is a BMW manufacturer hex code. A generic OBD-II tool will not show it — you need BMW-protocol access over K+DCAN or ENET/DoIP.
