Hey Yesti, do you have any info on the code reader/clearer on menu 0? I think 0-1 is read, 0-2 is clear codes. Can you verify? Just don't want to accidentally clear codes if any are stored. Thanks for any info you got.

I posted what I have on the first thread. I haven't read codes so let me know if it works.

What is the process for converting the "code" indicated by the CAN tool to a Pxxxx-type fault code I can look up? I've also had a few codes that come through with numbers that read between "whole" numbers - for example, I had one the other day that read as 145 on the speedo, so it would be 14.5, right? Made no sense to me at the time...

how did it read that? did the needle go to "1", then "4", then "5"? that doesnt seem right.

One of the four "digits" indicated by the speedo was 145, and I had a few others that showed 120 as one of 4 digits as well. So for example, it would show a sequence something like 20, 120, 60, 145. Can't make sense of it.

The code digits are in hex (0-9, 10=A...15=F). 20 mph=2, 120 mph=C. 145 mph is either 14 or 15? Look at the code list both ways, maybe there is one but not the other, or one that makes sense and one that doesn't.

Ahh, so that's how the letters get in there...

So once it gives you the 4 numbers/letters, is there an additional conversion that needs to be made, or do those numbers/letters represent the end portion of the typical Pxxxx fault-code format?

See the first post of this thread for a link to the hex codes.

Someone turned on the 'anything after and including the less than symbol shall be omitted' feature. Updated menu 8 based on my observations.
