Embraer XPDR problem

Hello,

during taxi to the departure runway today we received the "XPDR 2 MODE CHANGE FAIL" scratchpad message. Our initial thought to revert to XPDR 1 was unsuccessful as it generated the same message for number 1.
We were unable to find any information concerning this message in the AOM, the FMGS guide, MEL and QRH (actually we were clueless and looked everywhere).
We then agreed on trying out the ground reset procedure for "XPDR1(2) FAIL".
It seemed like this solved our problem, however we would like to know what we dealt with.
Does anyone have information concerning this particular message, or can point us in the right direction on where to find it?

Additionally, is there really no index in the FMGS guide where ALL scratchpad messages are listed?
I am aware of chapters 12-68 to 12-83, but the tables provided there are incomplete.

Regards,

Wartender
