I thought I saw awhile ago, that you can find the temps of the turbo (or something) in your message center by hitting one of the three buttons.

Can someone help me out??

Thanks

This might be what you're looking for. There is a lot of data fields. Not sure which or if one of them is the turbo temp.

This is for a 05/06 Lariat.

Push and hold the Setup and Reset buttons simultaneously and turn the key to the on position. When "Test" appears in the odometer, release the Setup and Reset buttons and you are in the DTC mode. Press reset to cycle through the data fields.

Nope... same procedure, use the odo/trip/engine hour/trip reset "stub" on the instrument panel. This works on many Ferd vehicles (I've used it on Expeditions, F150s, Mustangs, and a few others).

Just turn the key to the first position.

I tried this today and it had coolant temp, and a bunch of things I didn't understand. I didn't see anything about the turbo, but then again I could be blind.

Yes you can. First hold the two buttons down, then turn the key until TEST comes on. You can start the truck and see all the info.
