Instrument Cluster Self-Diagnostic Mode
To enter the instrument cluster self-diagnostic mode, press and hold the instrument cluster SELECT/RESET button, turn the ignition switch to the RUN position, and then continue pressing the SELECT/RESET button (5 seconds) until tESt is displayed in the odometer. The SELECT/RESET button must be released within 3 seconds of the odometer tESt display to begin the self-diagnostic mode. Press the SELECT/RESET button to advance through the following steps until dtc is displayed. Pressing the SELECT/RESET button displays any stored continuous DTCs before proceeding to the next step.
| Odometer Display | Description |
|---|---|
| GAGE | Activates gauge sweep of all gauges, then displays present gauge values. Also carries out the checksum tests on ROM and EE. |
| All segments illuminated | Illuminates all odometer segments. |
| bulb | Illuminates all micro-controlled indicators and LEDs. Install a new indicator or LED as necessary. |
| r | Returns to normal operation of all micro-controlled indicators and LEDs and displays hexadecimal value for ROM level (used when requesting assistance from Ford). |
| EE | Displays hexadecimal value for EE level (used when requesting assistance from the hotline). |
| dt | Displays hexadecimal coding of final manufacturing test date (used when requesting assistance from the hotline). |
| dtc | Displays continuous DTCs in hexadecimal format. Pressing the SELECT/RESET button displays any DTCs stored before proceeding to the next step. |
| enG | Displays the English speed in mph. Speedometer indicates present speed within tolerances. Display shows 0 if input is not received, if input received is invalid for 1 second or more, or if speed is 0. |
| m | Displays the metric speed data (km/h). Speedometer indicates present speed within tolerances. Display shows 0 if input is not received, if input received is invalid for 1 second or more, or if speed is 0. |
| tAc | Displays the tachometer data received from the PCM via the SCP network within tolerances. Tachometer indicates present rpm. Display shows 0 if input is not received, if input received is invalid for 1 second or more, or if engine rpm is 0. |
| FUEL | Displays the code (0-255) for the fuel sender input to the instrument cluster. The fuel gauge displays a filtered fuel level value. This filter keeps the pointer from moving suddenly or erratically. |
|
|
| OIL | Displays the code (0-250) for the oil pressure switch input to the instrument cluster. Oil pressure gauge indicates present oil pressure. Normal oil pressure (greater than 6 psi) displays a value between 000 and 176. A low oil pressure or an inoperative engine oil pressure switch (less than 6 psi) displays a value greater than 176. |
| dEGC | Display of engine temperature in degrees C input from cylinder head temperature sensor. |
|
|
| bAtt | Displays the code (0-255) for the battery voltage input to the instrument cluster. Battery voltage gauge indicates present battery voltage. |
|
|
| rhEo | Displays the present decimal rheostat dimming input, 0-255 (used when requesting assistance from the hotline). |
| rhi rhS rho | Not used. |
| Cr | Displays the present RUN/START sense input. Displays -h for high input with the ignition switch in the START position and -L for low input with the ignition switch in the RUN position. |
| PA-PE7 | Not used. |
| GAGE | Repeats test display cycle. |
To exit the instrument cluster self-diagnostic mode, turn the ignition switch to the OFF position or press and hold the SELECT/RESET button for 3 or more seconds and release.
