I move to sticky this thread...

Ask and ye shall receive.

Droid X. Tapatalk. Use it.

Thank you sir.

can someone clarify what the possible need for any of these would be.

Not much except its pretty cool to access all this stuff.

I knew I needed new brake pads and thought this line:

8.2 0000 ADC Value brake degradation sensor (000=o.k.)

would tell me a little bit about how much longer I had.

But as you can probably surmise from the 000=o.k. statement, even though I had very little brake pads left, my OBC displayed 000!

I figured it out haha
