V36 System Diagnostic Test Menu - In English

[MikeLo]

This is on a 2007 V36 370GT Skyline. with HDD Sat Nav...

Now I don't know a word of japanese. But for $1.99 there is a great little app on the iphone called camDictionary that will read your display and translate it!.. Pain and slow but useful to browse around your system beyond whats been translated.

Some of this maybe useful, most of this is not but interesting to see what is in the dealer diagnostic menus. Maybe very useful for anyone doing speaker upgrades to use the tone test, or adjust check any faulty components, or change some settings, wipe your music off the car etc....

1. Enter Diagnostic Mode...

Start the engine, (or turn on the System, as you may be a while, better have the engine running to keep the battery on), Turn the audio system off by pressing the volume button. (Audio off is displayed).

Now press the settings button on the main control panel with the Dial, this is on the left side of the wheel selector, third big button closest to the down arrow on the selector wheel.

Press and hold this button, now spin the Volume wheel 20 clicks or so either way and a menu will come up.

1. The Diagnostic Menu.
2. 
   1. There are two options, first is a simple self diagnostic test that shows a graphic of whats connected
   2. Takes you to the detailed menu where you can change settings and see detail diagnostics.

The menu has 16 items listed in it and has some sub menus..

The following list is a translation of those menu items and what they do.
