A "Peake Tool" is the common name for a scan tool made by Peake research Corporation. They have been a trusted manufacturer of BMW-specific scan tools for the do-it-yourselfer for over twenty years.
For any given problem, your BMW generates two different types of fault codes. One type was programmed by BMW to specifically coordinate with your particular car. The other type is a "generic" version of the code that is vague enough to apply to any vehicle built after 1996.
The generic code, called OBDII, is intended to for state inspection agencies to monitor emissions related problems on any type of vehicle they are certifying. The BMW specific code is what dealers and technicians use for actual diagnosis.
Generic codes and code readers can generate less accurate and potentially misleading information. So using your Peake tool to identify the BMW factory programmed codes is much better for making diagnostic decisions.
The included instruction manual contains a number of "code tables" that correspond to specific vehicles. When you use the Peake Tool, it begins by reporting to you which table corresponds to your car. It will then give you any current, historical, or "pending" codes the car is storing or reporting. Open the manual, find your table, and then find your codes. You then can erase the codes, thereby resetting the warning light.
