silverfox 04-16-2011 07:33 PM

Learned off of focus board tryed it and it works on our trucks to

Timberwolf 04-16-2011 07:35 PM

Taylor 04-16-2011 07:36 PM

Can you leave it once you pull up certain readouts?

Yeap

Masteratarms93 04-16-2011 07:41 PM

Ohhhhhh shiiiit. 04+ have on board read outs and didn't even know it.

Timberwolf 04-16-2011 07:43 PM

hot damn! Sweet, I have been looking for one of these quick tests for my rig. I know in newer dodge rams you cycle the ignition key 3 times as fast as you can and will give you tons of info in the dash display. Always wondered if out fords had a similar test. Interesting!

Timberwolf 04-16-2011 07:45 PM

Good find dooder!

wyldechild 04-16-2011 07:47 PM

After I finish eating I will have to try it out.

silverfox 04-16-2011 07:53 PM

Its bad ass I don't know what half of the test are but we have some smart peeps I'm sure we will figure it out.

StxDangerRanger 04-16-2011 08:13 PM

your not supposed to know about that unless your a Ford certified Tech.
heres some stuff from my old ford book about what each thing says.

GAGE - Carries out gauge sweep of all gauges, then displays the present gauge values. Also carries out the check sum test on ROM and EEPROM.

All segments illuminated.
Illuminates all odometer segments.

bulb
Illuminates all micro-controlled lamps and LEDs.

r ####
Returns to normal operation of all micro-controlled lamps and LEDs and displays hexadecimal value for ROM level (used when requesting assistance from the hotline).

nr####
Displays hexidecimal ROM level and type as stored in non-volatile memory (NVM).

EE ##
Displays hexadecimal value for EE level (used when requesting assistance from the hotline).

dt ####
Displays hexadecimal code for the final manufacturing date.

###C
Gas engines display last temperature gauge input value from SCP, temperature gauge will indicate present temperature. Diesel engine displays present temperature analog/digital input in decimal as a ratio, temperature gauge will indicate present temperature.

dtc ####
Displays a 16 bit DTC in hexidecimal format. DTCs displayed are those detected in continuous operation not during self-test.

EnG
Displays English speed value being input, speedometer will indicate present speed.

m
Displays metric speed value being input, speedometer will indicate present speed.
tAc Displays the tachometer value being input to the instrument cluster. Tachometer will indicate present rpm.

FUEL
Displays the present analog/digital fuel level being input to the instrument cluster as a ratio.

OIL
Displays the last analog/digital reading of the oil pressure switch contact resistance, oil gauge will indicate present level.

br
Displays the brake fluid level in an analog/digital ratio value.

bAt ##.#
Displays present battery analog/digital voltage.

rhEo
Displays present hexadecimal pulse width modulation (PWM) dimming input.

rhi, rhS, rho
Alternating 1 second display of pulse width modulation (PWM) input duty cycle, SCP hexidecimal dimming step, output driver counts in hexadecimal.

Cr
RUN/START sense circuit check.

PA, Pb, PC, and Pd
Displays 8-bit hexadecimal value for the Port A, B, C, and D readings (used when requesting information from the hotline).

PE0-PE7
Displays 8-bit hexadecimal value for the Port E0-Port E7 in analog/digital readings

older fords did this. my 85 w/a 5.0L efi would blink the check engine light in a sequence so you could take that number 5 blinks, pause 2 blinks was 52.
