Instrument Cluster Self-Diagnostic Mode
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2006 Ford F550 Super Duty, 2006 Ford F450 Super Duty, and 2006 Ford Cab & Chassis. 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 engine off, press and hold the odometer RESET button (base cluster) or the message center RESET button (message center cluster). Turn the ignition switch to the RUN position and hold until the display indicates TEST, usually within 3 to 5 seconds. Press the odometer reset button (base cluster), or RESET button (message center cluster) 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 .
