I have a 2017 S6, and I can't figure out how to see the codes.

Nothing. It just runs through the menus. Tried all that.
I just didn't know if there was a sequence I could put in that would show the codes.

Use the right tool:
Amazon Amazon


Or go to an auto store that will do it for you: Vehicle Warning Indicators

Or just get the Ross-tech VCDS: https://store.ross-tech.com/shop/vchn_10/

Or track down your local VCDS person.


Is this car under warranty?
