Instrument Cluster Self-Diagnostic Mode

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Lincoln Mark LT and 2007 Ford Pickup. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

To enter the instrument cluster self-diagnostic mode with the ignition key in the OFF position, press and hold the odometer reset button (except message center cluster) or simultaneously press and hold the message center RESET and SETUP buttons (message center cluster). Turn the key to the RUN position and hold until the display indicates TEST, usually within 3 to 5 seconds. Press the RESET button once to advance through each stage of the self-test.

To exit the instrument cluster self-test mode, turn the ignition to the OFF position. If no DTCs related to the concern are retrieved, go to Symptom Chart .
