How to test FRM

2009 Cooper S
Sunroof
6-speed
117,000ish miles

So I've been chasing down some electrical issues (Car alarm randomly going off while sitting unlocked in my driveway). As you can see below I have a couple FRM codes. Today, I removed my FRM and expected to see some corrosion or anything. The thing looks clean. All of the pins are clean. Looks good from here. Of note, the brake lights do work.

I do have the K+DCAN OBD USB Interface cable, just haven't setup the software on my laptop yet.
How can I test that the board is physically good to go?
  • A87E - Ultrasonic sensor, line fault
  • A6CB Relay, wiper stage 2, for front wiper
  • 9E2F PT-CAN wake-up line - plausibility error
  • A8AF FRM Brake light right, faulty
  • A8AE FRM Brake light left, faulty
  • E72C No message(position EFH driver's door)

I ended up sending it to mini-to-be (I think that's his name on here. He gave it a clean bill of health.

Still chasing some electrical issues, but getting there.
