These are the diagnostic screens. They have been know and discussed for several years.

The screens found are as follows and can be accessed once the Boot screen has loaded any time the map is displayed

Map/Guide . . . Menu
Cancel
Hold these three for four seconds

Left Column
Navi Screen
Unit Check
Car Status
F-Can
Coverage Area

Right Column
GPS Information
Yaw Rate
Tire Calibrate

I understand that this has been discussed before. I am not reinventing the wheel. This thread is created to compile all the information in one place and to discuss what we decide to change if any....
Anyone with Dealer explanations or experience with these settings and screens input is highly welcomed

Engine codes cannot be cleared thru this screen.

I was however able to clear some erroneous TPMS notifications the system would not allow to be deleted in normal mode. I was able to clear these in the XM (HIP) menu.

Please do not continue to post the DO NOT mess with these settings type posts. I have made it clear that you should not mess with them unless you know what you are doing OR ACCEPT THE RESPONSIBILITY FOR CHANGING THEM.
I am trying to get people that DO understand what these screens do or have experimented with these settings to share their experiences here.
Thanks for your cooperation and understanding

Please remove or delete your post.

The information is only harmful if you use it incorrectly. THATS why this thread was started. To clarify what is helpful/safe and what is not.
We should not hide information from people just to protect themselves from being idiots. If you are responsible with the information you are given you are fine. If not you deserve a trip to the dealer.
So again, If you want to post positive information please do so,... If not please do not post anymore post such as
"DO not post this" or a moderator will be contacted.
Thanks

This community should be a helpful resource. We should not be sheltered like childeren.
