For those that don’t know and may be having intermittent drivability issues - but don’t have their own external hand held scan tool, you can extract stored DTC’s from the main dash cluster.

I had posted this a while back in another thread, hopefully it has an added benefit for the DIYers.

If you have a 2015-2020 with the ANALOG gauge cluster, you should be able to enter the “Engineer Test Mode” and will be able to see stored DTC’s.

If you you have a 2018-2020 with the DIGITAL cluster, you should be able to access the same test mode found here:

First of all, what did he mean by getting the dash blank? The dash is never blank unless off :). Did he mean having the navigation mode under (the 2-gear) settings where the middle lower part is blank (assuming you have navigation off)??? The devil is in the details. Ha ha.

And for you: Is it intuitive where to find the DTCs? If not, please post details too :). Thx.

Finally, is there a list of all the things you can change (or check) under that engineering mode? It'd be great. Thanks again.
