Are there any special OBD tricks in the late 240s? 200 1993

Both my 91 and 93 240s have had the underhood OBD box to pull fault codes. My 94 850 has a very similar, but expanded set of them as well.

On my 850, I can actually pull the odometer mileage out of the computer which was beneficial when I had to replace the odometer gears in the cluster to know what the discrepency was (also gave me bargaining power to make the dealer knock off $$$ from the purchase price.)

Can you do things like this with the 240, or is it pretty rudimentary?

I noticed on my 93 that I have banks A2 and A3 available only. I did the 'push the button for one second and release' method and pulled 1-1-1 out of both of them, so no worries there.

However, I was curious if there are advanced features of the OBD and what they might be.

The Bentley manual doesn't really describe any.

Thanks!
