Yeah! I mean, it kind of makes sens that the OBD codes are in a chapter on the engine management system, as are the sensors (all except the one I needed to replace, that is, the rev sensor, which is completely absent). But as for modes 2 and 3, I found about them from, yes you guessed it: this forum.
Amazon has the Bentley manual for about $31, so I think I will finally do that. As I mentioned previously, the Haynes books were great for me for older simpler cars I have owned, but their deficiencies become apparent as the amount of information needed for newer cars outstrips the amount of content they want to provide at their price point. Such is the publishing industry. Could be worse, though: I have a Chilton book I got with my 1800 (I would never actually buy anything from Chilton myself) that tries to cover every Vovlo model from 1970 throught 1980. That's right: 140, 160, 1800E&ES, 240, 260, gas and deisel, all in a book no bigger than the Haynes. At least what you can find in Haynes is usually correct. It's pretty bad when the precious little bit of info pertaining to your model you do find in that Chilton book is wrong (like: use the throttle stop screw on a d-jet to adjust the idle--WRONG, WRONG, WRONG!).
Anyway, I'm 60 miles from any of my books now. I'll post those page references when I get home.
-EdM.
p.s.: It does occur to me that the diagrams I saw, both in Haynes and at the dealers (the same diagrams, recall), make no mention of the 25 amp fuse. Curiouser and curiouser.
