Yes, I knew that, but doesn’t work if there’s no check engine light in the cluster just a check message in the center of the clusters. Thanks anyway.

The Motronic Control Unit used in the Power-train System does not have On-Board Diagnostic capabilities and, consequently, does not store diagnostic trouble codes (DTC's).
