I made a reset (Test 21) to my OBC IV by mistake. Now there is "pppp" on
display and only button that works is S/R. It flashes display.

What can I do? Do I have to buy a new code plug?

I've tried. There is no small recessed button. OBC IV looks different:

In that case I'd try disconnecting the battery and then reconnect it cleanly
- failing that it looks like a dealer job....

I took the whole OBC off and it was on the table over night. Still PPPP.

The Code plug is EEPROM chip made by Catalyst Semiconductor. I think I
could reprogram it if there is binary file available somewhere.

I read coding plug and this is the data:

00'55'00'00'78'98'3B'5D'14'10'AD'7B'E4'D0'FF'FF'
D2'CB'01'00'FF'FF'FF'FF'FF'FF'FF'FF'FF'FF'FF'FF'
FF'FF'FF'FF'FF'FF'FF'FF'FF'FF'FF'FF'FF'FF'FF'FF'
FF'FF'FF'FF'FF'FF'FF'FF'FF'FF'FF'FF'FF'FF'FF'FF'
FF'FF'FF'FF'FF'FF'FF'FF'FF'FF'FF'FF'FF'FF'FF'FF'
FF'FF'FF'FF'FF'FF'FF'FF'FF'FF'FF'FF'FF'FF'FF'FF'
FF'FF'FF'FF'FF'FF'FF'FF'FF'FF'FF'FF'FF'FF'FF'FF'
FF'FF'FF'FF'FF'FF'FF'FF'FF'FF'FF'FF'FF'FF'FF'FF'

Is there anywhere any information about codes/data? Is everything ok?

Reprogramming helped. My OBC is working.

If you ever made Reset from hidden menu, new coding plug has to be bought or
old one has to be reprogrammed. I don't know can dealer reprogram it.
