Holden VE Commodore Easter Eggs

Found some cool easter eggs today in my car. Firstly a way to reset the service indicator if you needed to and an engineering mode.

Engineering Mode

The most useful is definitely the Engineering mode as I wouldnt recommend bypassing the service reminders (they're for a reason!)

To bring up the engineering mode:

1. Switch off the ignition
2. Hold down the scroll wheel button on the left hand side of the steering wheel.
3. Switch on the ignition

You will now see a menu of various measurements including but not limited to Tacho, Speed, Coolant Temp, Instantaneous Fuel (strangely in Litres per Hour!), Actual fuel left, throttle position etc.

If you want a nice pretty dashboard, try going to Self Test and pushing the scrool wheel button in (ie press Enter). The dash will light up will all the LEDs lit, and the gauges at about half way and the beeper sounding constantly. Push the enter key (scroll wheel button) to exit.

To exit out of engineering mode either stop and start the ignition or press the trip button on the left hand side of the steering wheel.

Reset Service Reminders

I dont recommend this unless it has actually been serviced as the reminders are there for a reason!!

However to reset the service reminder:

1. Switch off the ignition
2. Hold down the trip button on the left hand side of the steering wheel.
3. Switch on the ignition
