Instrument Cluster (IC) Dealer Test Mode

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Ford RV Cutaway, 2008 Ford Econoline, 2008 Ford E450 Super Duty, and 2008 Ford Cutaway. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

To enter the instrument cluster (IC) dealer test mode, begin with the ignition switch in the off position then press and hold the instrument cluster (IC) SELECT/RESET button, then turn the ignition switch to the RUN position. Continue pressing the SELECT/RESET button (3 seconds) until TEST is displayed in the odometer. The SELECT/RESET button must be released within 5 seconds of the odometer displaying TEST to begin the dealer test mode. Press the SELECT/RESET button to advance through the following steps until the DTC is displayed. Pressing the SELECT/RESET button repeatedly displays all continuous DTCs stored before proceeding to the next step. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position to exit instrument cluster (IC) dealer test mode.

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: TACH XXXX may display TACH 700. Note that there were 4 x's in the display description but only 3 digits in the actual display.
