I found out my car can....

Tell me all kinds of cool stuff!

If you push in your odometer button and hold it while turning your key to the accessories position (turn it forward but don't start it).
After a few seconds the odometer screen will allow you to cycle thru a bunch of options.
It tells you everything from gas left in the tank, to a digital tachometer!!!!

It also cycles thru A TON of other things. I think they are sensor readings or something. I tried to find out what they meant but couldn't find anything on the net. So if anyone could break it down for me that would be great!

Ok, well I just thought I would tell everyone about my recent discovery...

Cheers!:banana:

I have heard of this before but never done it myself.

Its pretty cool.
THe tach is crazy! it breaks it down to the single digets!

Yep; it's cool as shit. I use it for the ECT when I don't have my Predator in the car.

Known about this trick for awhile now. I know some where on the net there is a write up on this for the mustang but cant find it anymore...

Can Lightnings do it?

I have no idea. It only takes a few seconds to check
Just see if it will next time you start it up.

That really does not tell me anything. I dont understand what all the sensors are reading!!!

Thanks for the find though, I am guessing that is as good as anyone could find!

You can lead a person to knowledge but you cannot make them think... :shrug:

The bulb test would be a good thing to know when buying a mustang. If someone unplugs the check engine light you would know it.

no they can't. this is something that they put in Mustangs to make up for the lightning having a bed to carry stuff in.

Uh, ALL Fords with ODBII including Focus, F150, Lightning, etc do this.
