What's with the book symbol on heater?

Hello
My heater control panel shows an image of an open book and an exclamation mark. Does anybody know what this means? My aircon doesn't work (no gas) - could that be why? I also seem to be getting a bit less heat than I'd expect when it's properly cold outside, but that could just be my imagination.

Thanks for any input.

It means the system has done a self diagnosis as it does every time you start up. It has found a fault, to find out what that fault is you have to get codes read. As you are having trouble with you heat it may well be a problem with a flap or blend motor. Try pressing the buttons under the unit and cycling the motors, sometimes they just get a little sticky.
 
Im sure that i read it somewhere that it also means that there could be a problem with a temp sender on the engine that does summert to the havec unit, Could be wrong but it defanatly rings a bell, it might of been in the handbook or in the rave files lol:doh:

Hi
Thanks for the feedback. So, how do I read the fault codes? Can I buy some software and a cable and use my laptop, or do I have to go to the garage?
I generally fix everything myself, so the checkbook cracks are funny but irrelevant. If I need to replace a blend motor I suppose the dash has to come out. Is there a good step-by-step somewhere on the web?

Thanks!
