[QUOTE="wt29, post: 292814, member: 13507"] I use this procedure to check my data on my OBC and only item 1 & 2 applicable, other than that no shown. Please have a try on you OBC. :top: Hidden Onboard Computer Functions There are a number of "secret" OBC functions which can be enabled to display raw data output on the digital odometer. Some are found during standard operation (e.g. average fuel economy), but many others are unique to the "hidden" mode (e.g. engine speed or vehicle speed). Note: these functions will work on ALL US-spec E46 cars, even early 323/325 models which are technically not equipped with the OBC option. The OBC is in fact installed and operative in every E46; as an option, it can be "retrofitted" (activated) by installing the OBC-style turn signal stalk and activating the appropriate trigger during an ECU reflash. The better dealership service departments will know how to do this. Instructions to access the hidden OBC functions: 1. Hold Trip Reset while turning ignition key to on position 2. OBC should show "Test" 3. Use Trip Reset to select function 19.0 that unlocks all the features 4. Wait for display to show "Off" 5. Depress Trip Reset for 1/4 second and release it 6.
