Reading Codes

Heys guys, I got a 2000 f-150, 5.4

the MIL is on. One of my friends has a 2001 Mustang w/ the 3.8, and he pressed the odometer reset pin thing in some specail order, or way, and it displayed the DTC's on the odometer readout. I was wondering if my truck has the same thing built in, or am I going to have to plug a computer to it to read them?

It can be done, I don't remember the squence though. If there is an AutoZone near by, they will scan it for free. Just post the codes here for an accurate diagnosis.
