Hidden service menu, what does all this mean?

I was reading around on the forums and found about the check oil menu and along with that found about some of the hidden service menu. Some where basically things for the techs to come in and reset after service is done.

I was messing around and somehow got the message "service D" exceeded by xxx miles. then got my ABS lights to come on then test drove it and seems like the electronic brakes are gone. So I played around some more and figured out why ABS lights came on, then figured out how to turned off the Server D error message. There are some other additional menu that would require a manual to figure out. Perhaps someone know what's all these other stuff is about.... I took some crappy snaps with my phone of some of the main menu. The last menu that have UB: was just another cool feature I found out, which shows the voltage of the vehicle.

The other stuff is pretty easy.. the esp off feature is to run the car on a dyno- don't drive it like that!!
The exhaust gas and general inspection are optional settings, for states wiith emissions tests and/or state inspections- you can set the car to tell you it is due!!
