Can actually be done on numerous Ford vehicles with a digital odometer. My 2005 Sport Trac does the same thing along with my 2004 BMW 325i. It is indeed a handy trick to have.
Cut the Keep Alive Memory wire from the computer Just kidding, dont do that. I found it out when I accidentally cut the wire, but the engine just won't start well, like when you remove the battery for 1 day
Easy, insert the key and turn it before starting the car, leave it there for 10min. Should be fixed after that, They usually have a remote so the computer is prob getting confused. I had the same problem but I got tired of having to wait 10min everytime so I bought a remote.
Can anyone tell me what the fuel option is reading? The link won't work but when u cycle through the cluster and it says fuel, for example in this video fuel is reading around 150, is that the fuel pressure by any chance?
FUEL= Displays the code (0-255) for the fuel sender input to the HEC. The fuel gauge will display a filtered fuel level value. This filter will keep the pointer from moving suddenly or erratically. 255= open send +/- 0 232= full stop +/- 0 215= Full mark +/- 10 178= 3/4 mark +/- 8 138= 1/2 mark +/- 7 93= 1/4 mark +/- 5 41= E mark +/- 4 54= Low Fuel (0-59) 0-18= short (0-20 max)
Sorry for the late reply. FUEL in this case is tank level not fuel pressure. You can check fuel pressure with a higher quality mechanic obd2 tester. You could also bleed the pressure release on the injectors. There is also a crash sensor in the trunk to prevent fire I’d check to make sure that is not tripped as this prevents fuel pump from turning on. There is info on that in the owners manual. You could alternatively check for voltage at the fuel pump to make sure it is actually activating. I’m not a mechanic but this is what I’d recommend doing from my experience.
Look up computer data lines mustang. Those pictures should show you how the obd is connected. Mine didn’t work from a mismatched ground. Check the voltage and ground wires to make sure it is getting power. If this is not it you can check the wires going to the pcm for continuity.
Pretty sure it’s light blue + red. If you can get a wiring diagram for your vehicle look for instrument cluster circuit. On my diagram it’s called illum lamp feed. This goes through a fuse 37 in my case which is 5 amps. In battery junc. Box. Which is under the hood. If that’s not it I’d check all fuses with either a continuity test or visual inspection of the fuses.
I did this and now theres a ding sound every time i start my car. and goes away after a couple minutes and then 20 minutes latet it starts dinging again.
OIL= Displays the code (0-250) for the oil pressure switch input to the HEC. Oil pressure gauge will indicate present oil pressure. Normal oil pressure (greater than 6psi) will display a value between 000 and 176. A low oil pressure or an inoperative engine oil pressure switch (less than 6 psi) will display a value greater than 176.
Looking at the doc that seems to mean normal oil pressure. Unless it means short like in the fuel case. I don’t know for sure. I apologize I’m by no means a mechanic but I’ll link the document I referenced: www.carlogic.org/bg/data/Ford%20HEC%20dealer%20mode.pdf
The degrees were in Celsius, 89 Celsius is roughly 190 Fahrenheit.
Brandon Leon yeah zero is freezing and 100 is boiling..right?

Strange that it doesn't light up all the dash bulbs on the bulb check.
the link doesn't work anymore 😞
awesome video that's going to help out a bunch thanks!
Pretty neat I did not know this...Thanks
is there a way to make it test the gauges every time you start the car?
You ever find out?

How do you get your car to get out of anti theft? Mine wont start, please help.

Celsius its measured in Celsius the temp
@fordman954 when it sweeps the gauges does it actually calibrate them if they are off?
So my 04 gt doesn't do anything. It says test and then 0

I need help with my obd2 all of my fuses are good but the obd2 still don't read

What does the T mean with number mpg?
T is trip odometer.

Yo I got a question the illumination lights in my dash and the air conditioner lights stopped working do u know what the problem could be?

lmao
What does that green one mean it looks like a tire
@Lock Down i think traction control on wen illuminated
Lock Down it’s abs when the car is sliding the light will come on
Pepsi Raged u well its weird like it turns on n then when i press the gas it wont go till that light is gone
Pepsi Raged u like at first i thought it was like my tires or something but idk buhh it makes a sound when it comes on n then the gas wont go
Reyna Magana bad fuse maybe? That’s never happened to me so I don’t know. I have an 02 gt and when the light comes on it keeps goin

Mine only tells the miles and t I’ve tried like 6 times
I just want the speed
It won’t work on a 94
Its for 99-04
