Hey guys. Just wondering if anyone can shed some light on as to why I cannot get into engineering mode on my 2011 series 2 ssv. I know how to do it. Did it numerous times on the series 1 I had and the left scroll wheel does work as it's meant to.
Any help would be greatly appreciated

Would have been good if you had specified exactly how you attempt to enter engineering mode on your VE just in case you had a brain fart and ”not holding it right” :p

The following turns on engineering mode in the central display on your cluster by holding down the steering wheel scroll buttons while turning the ignition to acc mode.


The following website page, written in 2015, also states the procedure and that it is suitable for all VE models.


So not sure why it isn’t working on your model but if the left scroll wheel wasn’t working that could explain it though you say it works… so can’t be that…Not sure whether some series 2 variants had that feature removed or altered or you have a fault in the cluster that stops you entering engineering mode.

Me, I would have liked for the VF to have such an engineering mode or better still a full diagnostics app on Mylink :p but nada :rolleyes:

Hopefully others who own a VE series II will chime in with a cause and suggestion how to fix it :cool:

All I can suggest is to try the 'master reset', disconnect the battery for 30 mins.

Changed your cluster at all? Someone told me that police mode changes the left side scroll wheel button to another function.
