SV6 Trip computer functions

[SpeedRacer]

I am finding that regardless of the pressure to the pedal the acceleration is still the same and 'controlled', albeit smooth and still with some force, but not to the 'grunt' I would have thought the 190kw beast would produce.

You can blame the 2.78 gearing for that. Change the diff ratio and I'm sure it'll feel like a totally different car.

mine different

When i tried it on my vz ss ute, its told me battery voltage, tacho reading park lamps on or off, trouble codes, coolant temp, Litres per 100km, speed, seat voltages and a few others.

I will post it all in a couple of hours

Was that a couple of hours or a couple weeks ...

Come on Doc, don't keep us in suspense ...

Thanks for the info on the electronic throttle ... does that mean I should turn off my mobile phonee while flying, oh, I mean driving .... or could I tune the ecu via my phone!

I've read a few guys posts saying they were changing diff ratios, but mainly auto's not manuals, what doe it cost, and what does it achieve?

Can it be done to a manual?

Seat voltages would be for the Statesmans ect that have memory seats thats move to the drivers last used position I would imagine!!!

Turn the ignition off, hold down mode and set and turn on the ignition. You are now in the dianostics mode.

My guess is switch voltage is all the buttons etc that you can press. Fuel is shown as xx/255, the SV6 has 75L tank so just do the maths, or keep pressing mode and you will come to litres left,

Doctor Bob, we are still waiting for more info.

for all those wanting to know the "secret"

ok once in diag mode the displays are as follows
