Re: Lon, does your car still work after that fiddl (archive)

Any conclusions on what those menus do? It'd be great to be able to change some of the computer settings rather than having to go to the dealer. Probably too good to be true.

Here's something I just found way back in the archives:

528 or 540? unlock is different for both. test 1 is vehicle data. test 2 is system test. test 3 is european inspection data. test 4 is momentary consumption. test 5 is distance consumption. test six is fuel level inputs. test 7 is coolant temp and outside temp and eng. speed and vehicle speed. test 8 is hex codes. test 9 is batt. voltage. test 10 is country. test 11 is cluster code. 12 is not used. 13 gong test. 14 through 18 not used. 19 lock and unlock. 20 is correction factor. 21 is software reset.

Basically all useless info unless something is wrong, in which case take it to the dealer. Don't mess with 20 or 21.

these tests are for the 528 low cluster.
