“Why do I need to pay for diag? The computer tells you what to replace.”

Check engine light on. Take a guess at the problem.

Does that list include all the possible problems and then just say yes or no after it? Or are all the listed issues really present in that one car?

Those are past faults that have not cleared themselves and current faults and faults that may still be present but the conditions to determine if they are still present have not been met currently.

If someone tells me that, I assume they are asking me to throw parts at it instead.

But if I'm guessing by that list, rats.

Low voltage, bad ground, CAN bus wire damaged?

Judging by the 2nd page it might just be slow internet lol

Was the EPS replaced recently, but the battery was too low to set it up correctly? The 0 odometer faults and reprogramming error seem to point that way.

What kind of truck is this? The HV + tailgate + driver assist codes are an unusual combo, especially with the vehicle type up top saying off road.

Very close. A body shop replaced the EPS steering rack but they installed an incorrect part number. Will require installing the proper part number and programming the rack to the vehicle.

It’s a PHEV BMW X5. The low voltage faults are just the hybrid battery being discharged.

I'd look for a bad ground before I did anything major.
