Is the instrument cluster working? If so, if you hold the stalk button down at ignition on, you should be able to get to fault codes without an diagnostic tool.

If the dealer have diagnosed it, fair enough, but sounds like a dodgy connection. Wiring and connectors normally fail more often than electronic systems
