Error Code Messages that WON'T ever show up?

Post by Spoleto »

given all the work my car has had, the only error code messages that ever showed up concerned light bulbs.... so what in the $#%& is the added value of having that message screen??? What other type of messages/warnings should I expect NOT to ever appear on that screen?

Ummm, not to be rude but the message center does tell you an awful lot (sometimes too much in my opinion). I guess it won't tell you if the inside of the cabin smells because one of the passengers farted. I don't know...again, I'm not trying to be rude, but some stuff you have to just figure out or check yourself- like a visual of the tires before you hop in to go for a drive to see if they might be low...the message center certainly won't tell you this.
