message centre help

i own a 04 f150 stx 4x4, and i was browsing here earlier, i seen a post about tachs, cant seem to find the one now, but a guy mentioned about holding the tripometer reset before and while starting then a few presses of the button and you have a tach where odometer is, so i tried this and it works, i was wondering if anyone hew what all the other functions/options in there are, i could tell what some where but other i could not, would just like to know if there is anything in there i could change or mess up

it works, but you have to do it every time if you want it to show a tachometer. after you turn the truck off it will reset itself and go back to the odometer/compass.

I know. That's not what I was asking about. I was asking about all the other functions, etc, that show when doing this.

Even with proper punctuation, you're kinda' rude. Figure it out for yourself.

the other functions are other EEC parameters to monitor. This feature is more of a diagnostic feature. All of the newer fords have this item. You can monitor various temps, fuel pressure, throttle position, etc....
