Instrument Cluster (IC) Dealer Test Mode
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2010 Mercury Mariner and 2010 Ford Escape. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
To enter the Instrument Cluster (IC) dealer test mode, press and hold the select/reset button (base cluster) or the message center RESET button (message center cluster). Turn the ignition switch to the RUN position and continue to hold the select/reset or RESET button until the display indicates tESt, usually within 3 to 5 seconds. Press the select/reset or RESET button once to advance through each stage of the self-test.
To exit the IC dealer test mode, turn the ignition switch to the OFF position.
NOTE:
The displays listed in the table below use xxx's to represent a numeric or alpha-numeric value. The value may display the same amount of characters represented by the xxx's or there may be more/less depending on the type of display. For example: Exxx.x (base cluster) or SPEEDOMETER xxx.x MPH (message center cluster) may display E45 or SPEEDOMETER 45 MPH. Note that there were 4 x's in the display description but only 2 digits in the actual display.
