@@LLeonha104 🤯🤯🤯 Wow that's a lot of information to take in!!!🤤 lol
⁰⁰⁰ⁿ
Wow thanks for this! I cant believe that with all these countless Ford mechanics helping every one of us out here with there yt vids, I don't believe i have ever come across a video that exposes this awesome gem. Once again, thank you for taking the time in doing this video👏
Thank you
Sweet. Just bought a 2004 F 150 4X4 and I had no idea this little feature was there. Gonna try it tomorrow, thanks
same bro!
oil press read 0 on mine 04 5.4. while running. Ford didn't want people to know evidently by not programming that in.
Careful with the truck man, 04 are known to have the worst engine in any truck
Hey Man: I'm a ford truck owner and I never knew this feature was in it. A big thank you Brother!
You’re absolutely welcome
4l34 10849 oco2 is the casting number for the instrument cluster in that truck. That way the technician could retrieve the part number for the cluster without pulling it out if they needed to order one, or if original part number needed for some reason or another.
Very cool, I've been driving these since 2007 and never new that. Thanks for sharing!
You’re absolutely welcome
2 years later and this was cool to learn. Much thanks.
Thank you for this video. My 2003 f350 has a code and this has helped find my problem!! Didn’t know about this test so thank you again!!!
OK... HERE WE GO!
1. Put the key in the ignition, but don't turn it. Push and hold the trip / reset counter button. Don't release it.
2. Next turn the key to the accessory on position. NOT starting your stang, but just to the first click. Leave the key there.
3. Look at your display while you are holding down the button. When you see it say "test" (like shown in the pic), then LET GO the button. You have only a few seconds to do this.
4. What will happen next is all your analog needles will "sweep" to their max positions and then drop back to normal. The digital readout will say "GAGE" like shown.
5. Push the button once and the next diagnostic is all the segments in the digital display will show up lit. Like the pic shows.
6. Push the button again and the readout will say "bulb" and light up all the bulbs like the batt, traction control and other cluster bulbs.
Neat huh ?.. 
7. Push the button again and the ROM version is displayed.
8. Push the button again and you get the EE level. Part of the id.
9. Push it again and you see the hex value for the manufacturing test date.
10. Push it again and you will get any diagnistoc trouble codes or DTC's (if any). See table below for a list of codes. This code is for an oil pressure switch failure (example).
11. THE COOL PARTS START HERE. push it again and you will see "eng" followed by your speed in miles per hour. We were standing still but if we were moving, we could get a digital speedo reading in real time.
12. Push it again and you will see an "M" followed by your METRIC speed reading.
13. Push it again and you will see a "tac" followed by your tachometer numbers. All updated in real time. The engine was off here so it was 0000. CLICK HERE for a video 126k Mpeg of the digital tach in action. (recorded from our Mustangworld project 00 stang)
14. Push it again and you see your fuel level, see chart below for what the numbers mean.
15. Push it again and you see your oil pressure. The engine was off so ours read 255.
16. Push it again and you will see your engine temperature "deg" see chart below for what the numbers mean.
17. Push it again and the battery voltage input to your cluster is shown (current battery level) 0 - 255. See chart below for normal settings.
18. Push the button again for the RH codes (there are a few screens of them and they flash).
19. Eventually you will end up at the Cr code, this shows the current RUN/START here it shows "-h" meaning in the key was in the start position.
20. You will make it to the PE codes then back to the "GAGE" and the cycle starts all over again. TO EXIT the diagnostic mode, press and hold the trip meter for 5 seconds or until your odometer is displayed again. You can also just remove your key and it will return to normal.
To see your digital speed / tach, etc.. as your stang drives
All you do is once in this diagnostic test mode, simply start your stang and the display will revert to this mode again and you can scroll through until the digital speedo is showing and see your speed digitally.
So can see both ways, what about tach, I wonder if I can change my idling at all. Runs great, gave a tune-up years ago and I drove very slowly for good 100 miles and babied it so my mpg would increase, instead it seems to go down a bit and tach is idling up around 9 instead of 6.5 to 7 rpm's now, do 70 and tach is 2200, before was 2000 even, so other than tune-up with new coils because ones on was new 13 months old from Denco, better than Ford from the person I bought suv Explorer from, after 4 times of check engine light coming on on left side up front #5 I believe on Ford, and 6 to. He replaced both of them like 5 times of going back for check engine, said he never had that issue said they should be under warranty, just say your me and get new ones, I looked and 13 months old from place he bought from. He's a mechanic and side job's as one too plus pickups junk vehicles for free or as cheap as possible, takes good stuff off and puts in his storage in his garage. Gave me 2 of them, I'm like I don't need problems dropping son off 300 miles away at college. Only reason why I bought it, I trust you, we knew each other since 5 years old and kindergarten. Great friends, still have issues, I'm disabled and deal we made as he's old school like me, a handshake means your word. He went back and blew me off, he fixed the cluster. Had to call a Ford tech on this one, he States wasn't him, but he dropped a socket on his $5,000 snap-on tool to read out what's wrong and nothing. So he put on drivers floor, I'm like move that before you drop something on it, 5 minutes later, he dropped his socket attached to rachat to unbolt screws to get to cluster. It put a crack in it, he was surprised since it had gorilla glass protection on it. He installed auto Starr and wife drove it for 32,300 miles on Reman engine, lots of new parts put in, he traded some vehicles that needed coils on Fords from breaking and giving to him, company swamped a few cars over the suv that needed alot more work and time. Was worth $18,800 @ the time he made trade, even with blown engine, he paid taxes on that, it's how our state works, book value. I paid on $7,900 and paid $4,500 for it. It's what he had in it and drove it for 3 years, so got his money back from me. That had 164,400 at time, it has 199,550 roughly on it, since then, I put about $8,000 into it, I named it the money pit to him, I said to him if knew, I looked at the $1,800 in last 10 months you put into it. My 1st year was brakes because rotors were junk, not new like he said, pads were but 1/3 of pads touched rotors, that cost me an accident as brakes didn't stop me in time. I replaced 2 calipers also or he did and new brakes, he said take those back and say there junk, I'm like you do it, your name or I wouldn't bought $100 in pads if that's the case. Also ball joints needed badly. Great mechanic and was great friend. Wished he was still around. Thing rotted, water pump let go as he used many old parts on some stuff. Cheap part that cost me $35 some 7 years later. He has account to get big discounts and would of cost back then, about $15 max. Easy swap. 2 exhaust systems from Walker, there cheap but don't last with this 10% Ethanol in gas. Cluster goes out, next thing you don't have radio or interior lights. All it is, the Cluster only, just take apart, UNPLUG THE CLUSTER AND PLUG BACK IN, THEN AWD WILL WORK WITH RADIO AND LIGHTS AND HEAT TO, ALSO THE SPEEDO WITH TACH TO. The lock clip is broken off, every now and then since, it unplug just a bit. It wiggles out just enough to stop alot of things not working at all over a plug, that auto start he installed, the wire goes to ignition switch area and has no choice to snake wire to it. Takes about 45 minutes even if you don't know, look at UA-cam video on how to remove Cluster. It's very easy. Don't take all the way out. One wire that is like a cable for speedo I think. It's easy if you have some mechanical stuff you can do. Hardest part is unplugging headlight switch. I've done it 4 times after he done once. On his snap-on tool, I said don't take apart, can't replace screen, they have to, he's like it's just glass, I said no, it's touchscreen, they can sell me the part, no they can't. I fixed a few free TVs and got some with cracks I called manufacturers on it like LG I have a 35 day old TV that some guy sold to me that cost him $2,100 plus taxes on sale, son through a toy at the screen and cracked. Was $1,500 if LG can get one but won't sell to me, they have to fix it. I said nobthanks, I'll sell the parts inside with remotes, came with 4 of them, made almost $300 off boards and remotes with shipping. My 1st TV, power supply wasn't working, cost me $59.95 plus taxes and free shipping. Still have it. Could of replaced the parts that let go on board, need special tools to test and tell, might of cost just $0.10 or $10 only
Wtf
Thanks buddy I had no idea.thats something I do often an never wanted to buy a scanner so now I can do it myself
Awesome, glad it helps
Just bought a 400 dollar scanner and it was built on the whole time🤦♀️
Great video! I have a 2007 and didn’t know about feature. Thanks buddy !
1. The 4L34 10849 is the part number for the cluster
2. Second set of numbers is the calibration
3. Ign b is the position the is the position of the key in the ignition
4. Dtcs shown are cluster related, will show dtcs if there is faults within the gauge cluster not the pcm (engine computer)
Everyone gonna think its for the pcm and not read your post. And most cars show some type info or rest by holding in the odometer reset button.
✔️
Thank you for explaining it correctly
just bought an 01 f150, this will save me some trouble and time in the future. thanks
glad it helps
I have an 03, does it work?
Love that my 2007 ford expedition has this feature i love using the battery display helps having a subwoofer setup 👍👍👍
Thanks you for sharing this had a 99 and just bought a 2002 this info is vey helpful. Being a female I try to do a lot of my easy work myself to avoid being ripped off. Thanks again for sharing
I've owned my truck for like right years and NEVER knew this. Greatly appreciated good sr!!!
Huh?
@@OptimusPrime12190 Eight years
Nice, thank you!
I wish I would have seen this video right after you posted it. IT is extremEly useful to me with my motorhome on a Ford e450 CHASSIS.
I'll def be trying this specially for the oil pressure if it actually gives a real psi number that's worth gold in our trucks with the 5.4L 3v
Yes glad it helps
Dude I have a 2004 ford with the 5.4 and yeah you are right
Awesome help-Thanks!
Fantastic video. Thank you for sharing.
You’re absolutely welcome
GK7 DIY Great tip for Ford owners! Thanks. One of the comments on your page listed the steps for doing this. I took your list and added the comments to put them on a page that I put in a notebook for my truck.
Good job bro, I didn’t know about this and I’ve had my expedition for 20 years😂
Good stuff
Thanks man.i just got a high miles 06 f150 and this is a helpful self diagnosis and sensor awareness option that I didn't even know about.
I'm going to buy a 2005 F150 later today, I'll be checking for codes. Thanks to this video!
I just came across your channel. Thx for the info i just got an 05. I didn't know about this option.
Thanks for sharing, great video, nice to know you can pull up DTCs
Yes, great feature
Thanks for the info I have the same truck ill give it a shot
Tremendous THANK YOU I didn't know all this
Thank you, very useful 👍.
My o4 f150 has this screen, I will definitely check that out
Dude thank you. This is awesome didn't know this, really excited to get out there and try this out. Your the man.
Thank you
Thank You for your input I will try this first .Thank you
You’re welcome
Definitely a Thumbs-up ! Amazing good find !
I've had my '07 F150 for years and I never knew this, amazing!
Thanks alot man, you have no idea how bad I've wanted a tach!
Best video I've seen in awhile. Subbed!
Thank you, glad it helped!
I know this is old video, but just in case , I have a 93 f150 4x4 it started as an automatic and was changed to a 5 speed Manuel at some point before I got it. It had no tach on the dash, I took the instrument cluster from a 96 that had the tach and it was plug and play, you can even keep your own odometer if you want as Ford instrument clusters are module based , in the 92 Thur 96 range you can just switch out individual gauges and get what you want. You might have to switch the whole cluster for your year , but they are normally super easy to switch and takes 15 minutes or less to do. The ease of it is why I figured I would mention it and you could check out the procedure for your year modLE. if your like me, you don’t ever give up your Ford truck ,unless it’s for a different Ford truck, lol. Hope this was relevant.
In the 92 through 96 years you can even reprogram your speedometer for what ever tire size you wish to run. The module will allow you to change its calibration to a different 6 times and then it shuts u out, so you are stuck with that 6th calibration.
Thanks good info!!!
You’re absolutely welcome
This is so awesome. Thank you for the information.
Awesome. Thank you sir!
Well done . Thanks for the info
You’re absolutely welcome
There's also a Flux Capacitor if you know how to access it, I travel back to the 80s now and then, especially if I'm being pulled over I'm Outta-Time.......
😂🤣😂👍🏾
M
.
What model of Flux Capacitor do you have? Mine only allows me to travel to odd years not even years. 😅
Marty is that you?
Great to know I bought a truck that I can go back in time now
Great video, thanks !!!!
You’re absolutely welcome
I’ve had my ‘21 for a little over a year now and never tried this but had it in the shop 4x. This may actually help me so thank you, whether it works or not!!
Thanks alot. I knew there was a way to check other systems out on the f150. But this did it for me. Thanks.
i legit just went to grab a scanner today cause i just baught an 05 f150 and now all i needed was this
Cool video! Learned a lot! Any ideas on where I can grab a short throw dip stick?
Thanks man, I'm really not sure
@@GK7GARAGE lol
Great info, thanks bro.
I had this on my 1988 Chevy s10. I think ? Good video. Thanks.
As a Ford guy all my life...I didn't know this. Thank you! I'll go check my 150 and the wife's focus and my sons mustang in 5 minutes. Thanks again!
⁰⁰L
I'm VERY IMPRESSED. Cool. Find!
Yes that was excellent news. Thanks for the information. Working on a 2007 f-150 xl 4.2 with the manual transmission.
I once got this to happen on my 05 explorer. But it was not use this order of operation. I heard down my break pedal and slowly turned the key.
@Mark Godfrey and it's held not heard
Let’s go brandon 🍦🍦🍦👍🏿
What a great helpful video. I just subbed .
Thank you...really informative
Thanks that was helpful ,I didnt know about it.lol.
Very helpful,thank you
Excellent video! Curious if this works for later years? If not can you point me in the direction for an 09 F150 King Ranch? Thanks again.
Cool thanks great video
You’re welcome, glad it helps
Good Find, I will have to check mine tomorrow
Super helpful thanx
You’re absolutely welcome
I just bought one ago I always try it but I didn't know all those. Thanks brother
Very cool-thanks.
You’re welcome
so you leave it on the display you want and it continues that display, like the tach you mentioned, or in my case the oil pressure gauge doesn't work so I could use this for contant oil pressure display instead of the odometer?
Any vehicle from a 1988 Cadillac coupe de Ville to brand new cars. If it has a digital read out on anything you can do this type of testing. I had the caddy that did this also.
Great video bro!
Older Trucks can do something similar. I have a 92 F-150 with the digital ODO and you can access a similar feature. If this feature is like it is on my truck. The numbers that pop up after the test sequences are to program the computer to calibrate for tire size. That code is the code needed for the size tire that was/is on the truck to accuratly display MPH.
Thanks for the upload. Guess I bought my scan tool for nothing, lol.
Lol, this is an awesome on board tool
Your scan tool is more valuable than that little read out , that is if your scanner can do a running view of your engine and recording it, imagine trying too look at that little screen while driving? Lol
The dtc codes feature is really helpful. I had to take my explorer to autozone several times before I knew this. Older jeeps and chrysler products have a similar feature where you turn the ignition switch 3 times.
Yes, it’s very helpful. Thanks
My Exploder is manufactured 04/01 2001 XLT and my oil trip to lmk when it's due for my Next change in I found it and it says OFF... IDK HOW TO TURN IT ON IF I CAN. ANY ADVICE REALLY APPRECIATED THANKS & ADVANCE
Thank you man that help me. Alot
Just tried this on my 2007 explorer and it works!
Thanks very helpful I have a 05 f150 and my wife a 2010 explorer this will help me very much
thanks man good post 👍
Pretty cool never knew about this, don’t know if it’s majorly helpful to me but it is pretty cool to have those features that I didn’t know about.
Thanks alot. helped me check the driver seat buckle would at times think the seatbelt not buckled even though it is, which would cause the belt alarm to go off.
Hey that's pretty cool buddy specially if you can read the codes I kind of like that one !!
Yes it does, thanks
Thanks bro!
Thanks for sharing
Absolutely welcome
This is awesome
I have a 2003 Mercury sable. When you turn the key over but all the lights. And things work but will turn over and you the fuel pump start. Can you help me with problem. We where on a 360 mile trip...
Thanks I had no idea.
You’re absolutely welcome
New subscriber, I have a 08 Lariat F 150, thanks for the info.
I have a 08 also
Thank you very cool !
Hey thanks for the tip I just bought 04 at 150 Again thank you
Thanks for the info. I've had my truck 10 years didn't know it did this.
Sir great video, Question how do you use the tach when truck is in test mode and engine off, ,let me know thks,
Good stuff!
Way to go man. Who freaking knew about this?
Thanks buddy
THANK YOU!
Great videos
Absolutely Feckin Awesome I put that cluster in my 93 250
Thx man i really needed this info.
Glad I could help
Great information!! Thank you for sharing!
Mine has 3 buttons info, setup, and reset. I have tried all three. Any help on this. I have a 2004 Lariat. Thanks.
Do you know if this would work as well on any special edition f150's
Thank you
And knowing is half the battle 🇺🇲 , thanks for sharing , had no idea about this
Get an ultra gauge, kinda does the same thing but you plug it in the obd ll port and can customize what you want on your screen, like engine temp tachometer and a ton of other things
Thanks brother good too know 👍👍
No problem 👍
I didnt know fords had this feature but dodge amd older obd1 vehicles along with lawnmowers and small engines with check engine lights you can turn the key on and off 5 or 8 times in a row (differs between vehicles) and get check engine light codes. The ones without a digital display flashes a 2 digit code in which you count the flashes then theres a pause and another set of flashes to count and that gives the code its throwing. For the door amd seatbelt throwing a ~~G i believe that means open ground for anyone doing future repairs. Most switches are activated by ground instead of hot on fords meaning the seatbelt lights stay on because its causing a open circuit when not buckled, then when you buckle the seatbelt it completes the ground circuit. You can also just click the seatbelt buckle button to get the chime and light to go away on most fords
Wow that's cool
You are a godsend! Thank you!!!!
