Fault shedding

When a fault is recognized during a diagnostic routine, it will be stored as a possible fault. At the same time a "not shedded" fault counter is started that contains a certain value. At additional diagnostic routines, the "not shedded" fault counter will be decreased by 1 if the fault is recognized in the same channel window. If the "not shedded" fault counter has reached the value 0, the fault is considered as shedded.
