BMW E36 Self-Test

Recommended Posts

Hey all,

I recently found this out and some of y'all will probley know about it but its a handy lill hint if ya dont

If you press the trip odometer button and turn the ignition key to

accessory position and release the button you get some interesting diagnostic codes and a full

instrumentation test of the VDO gauges and the LEDs

Heres what they mean:

1st display: BMW PART NUMBER (6 digits)

(my buddy thought it would be funny to tell me that this was ACTUAL kms that the car has done 360260kms i nearly died)

2nd display: CODE NUMBER (5 digits) Internal Coding Plug #

3rd display: K NUMBER (4 digits)

4th display: CHASSIS NUMBER (5 digits) this is part of your VIN

5th display: SOFTWARE VERSION (3 digits)

6th display: REVISION INDEX (2 digits) Hardware #

Have fun!
