Default OBD Trip button

I have read on here(the forum) that the OBD Trip button,when pressed in the correct order display's the temperature reading.
Is there any more display readings that can be accessed by using the trip button or has anybody made a list?

I've used this from time to time, mostly for engine temp when I've suspected thermostat problems - very handy.


But when I looked back through the original guide - many thanks TC - for the first time in years, I thought I'd look through Option 1, and maybe how my injectors were doing.


I get numbers for Options 1:0 to 1:5... but 1:6 just gives ------.


Shoudl I be concerned

No response from Phil MG.---I guess all that information has stunned him into silence or else he's still reading his way through it or he's bricked his car.---

No, it may not respond in the way you might expect. You'll see in my preamble to the write-up that this system is primarily for BMWs and was migrated across to the 75/ZT. It doesn't appear to have been fully integrated/adapted, so some of the 'tests' can give spurious results.
