Odometer Trick (See RPM's and digital Codes)

Here is information I found regarding your odometer reset buttom that will sho various or all coeds and even a digital RPM readout.

Read with interest as I did...sorry for the long post (but might be fun to try).

ODOMETER TRICK TO SEE COMPUTER VALUES AND GAUGE READOUTS

From www.Dieselstop.com

Put your key in the ignition and leave in the off position. Hold your trip button on the speedometer to the reset position and hold there. Turn the key on but do not start yet. When all you gauges sweep release the trip button. Now you are in "digital" mode on the mileage odometer. You can start your truck and you can press the trip button to get different readings such as a digital tac. It can show you various sensor readings.

Kinda interesting.... to reset the digital stuff just turn the truck off and restart and you will back to showing the mileage.

I don't know/understand some of the diesel code(s)etc. but we have used many times on our Lightning.

Here's the odometer function followed by a description.

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 ####

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).

It will also clear your trip meter. I prefer the diag part of the Predator. Reads the same stuff.

I'd love to get a predator, but I don't want to have to get the new flash for my rig. It still has the stock June programming and running like a champ! I'd hate to get the new flash and have the truck run crappy.

Talking Playing With Odometer

I just read your post last night. I couldn't wait to give it a try! I found it worked just as you said, and after having played with it for a while a thought occured to me. I have an 03 Super Duty F-350 long box the only mod so for is the predator. I can't say enough good things about the difference it has made. One of the things that I most wanted was to get rid of the top in limiter. Now with that out of the way I would like to know just how fast this 5 ton rocket is moving. After finding the digital speedometer I had hopes that now I would be able to see speeds in excess of 100 mph. After having played around I was sad to find that it also stops at 100 mph. However, I bet that someone with a little computer skill could fix that problem. I'm pretty sure that the second digit will go above 0. Let's find someone out here to fix it. Thanks for the great post.

You can run your Predator diagnostics with the engine running and see a digital readout of speed. I don't know what the limit is. You can watch and log all sorts of parameters while driving with the predator.
