If you do it enough times you will get fed up, that is all. A lockout is not stored in physical memory, lockout is sort of remembered, when power is cut, it forgets.

No, if it did, every FBH would be locked out at some point. I would be dealing with lockouts every week. Also "Ian tapping start command" is not a recognised in the software as a fault

No, only 1 way to clear faults from memory.
