Hi,

That is an interesting one. Because of the electronics involved, I feel the best place to start is by scanning the can-bus system.

CAN stands for controller area network. Basically, the different modules are tied together via a few wires. This type of scan will retrieve codes regardless of the module storing them.

Here is a link that explains how it's done:

Let me know if this is something you can do or have done.

Take care,
