hi, the check screen is only on until you turn the engine on then it should go off and then dissplay temp ,date, radio stn. if its not coming on at all look for a swich on the stems to see if it's been turned off. ( you can turn them off ) but if its broken then you will need to do what none audi drivers do check it your self. note the car will still let you know when its out of oil water ect if mine was broken i would'nt know as mine is turn off bye bye.
