Diagnostic menu

[ColinU]

I discovered this morning that if you press & hold the Phone & Menu buttons simultaneously for about 5 seconds a numeric keypad appears asking for the Diag PIN number. At the time I didn't know what it was but have since found out it is 917.

Haven't had a chance to see what it does yet but thought I'd put it on here in as a possible useful tip.

Thanks for sharing Colin!

This is for S Type & X Type.

Press & hold the Phone & Menu buttons simultaneously for about 5 seconds until a numeric keypad appears asking for the Diag PIN number.

Enter 917 and a Diagnostic screen appears.

To return to normal, switch off the ignition.

There may be something similar on other models. I suggest you try pressing combinations of buttons. This is how I found this!

Engineering test mode can be obtained by pressing and holding the button on the indicator stalk while turning on the ignition. The words

Engineering test mode are displayed in the right hand message centre display (fuel gauge side). I suggest you visit
