Dealer Test Mode
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2013 Ford Explorer. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
To enter the IPC self-diagnostic mode, begin with the ignition in the OFF mode. Press and hold the RH steering wheel switch OK button (optional IPC ) or the LH steering wheel switch OK button (base IPC ). Place the ignition in the ON mode and hold the button until the display indicates ENGINEERING TEST MODE, usually within 3 to 5 seconds. Press the up or down arrow buttons to navigate through each of the display windows. To exit the IPC self-test mode, press and hold the OK button for 3-5 seconds or place the ignition in the OFF mode. The dealer test mode displays multiple items in a viewing window on the RH side of the IPC . Each button press advances the viewing window to the next set of items.
NOTE:
Some of the displays listed in the table below use xxx's to represent a numeric or alphanumeric 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: DTC HIST CURR xxxxxx x x may display DTC HIST CURR C10000 X. Note that there were 8 x's in the display description but only 7 digits in the actual display.
NOTE:
The table below lists the displays as they appear when navigating using the down arrow button.
