It is pretty easy, and the encoding goes real quick. You should be able to figure it out easily! Then go back into diagnosis and the fault should be not present and able to clear on the first try. And a hint to save time, don't do a full short test, just click on DME and short test that module individually, then clear fault memory through control module functions. Easy as 1-2-pie!
Weasel ... I tried to follow your intructions but was unsure of certain selections. So, I stopped because I got scared.

However, I was able to clear the fault through the Control Module-Functions. I updated my original post, with the question, with the screenshots of what I did.

You can see it here:

I figure if it comes back again then I'll show you the screens of where I'm unsure of which selection to choose.
