For those with the full message center - hold down the "down arrow" button on the left hand steering control and turn on your truck.
For those without the full message center - hold down the reset button and turn on your truck.
After a few seconds, the truck will enter engineering test mode which is really just a bunch of hidden info screens you can scroll through - there aren't any settings here you can affect.
Some of the data reported:
- gauge sweep test
- led light test
- rom checksum test (useful for tuners)
- rom and epprom levels
- any continous DTC's
- fuel level remaining (gallons and %)
- mileage and DTE
- engine RPM
- vehicle speed
- battery voltage
- coolant temp
- a/d converter values
- lcd screen test
and a few others I've forgotten.
Pretty cool stuff.

I hate to resurrect old threads, but maybe someone knows the answer. First, is this mode still working on 2016's(not near my truck right now), and the real meat of my questions, does this display the calibration level currently installed on the PCM? I ask, because in another thread, I reported that I had my truck in to be flashed for 99.03 or later for the regen hammer fix, and my dealer told me I have 101.01 installed, but don't know how that can be, since it only came out 4 days before my truck was at the dealer, and last time my truck was at the dealer was a full month before 101.01 came out.
I'm looking for a way to see what level I am running without having to head back to the dealer if possible. the only other option I can think of is that I have the OBDLINK software that came with my MX OBD reader, and it has a mode that will read the Ford specific mode-9 codes(I think that's the right term), but a quick glance at it didn't have anything that looked like PCM level.
Thanks, Dave
