I have heard of folks pulling the codes via the odometer diplay in the cluster....who knows the procedure?

 

Interesting, I didn't know you could do this. Is your truck a 08 or 09?

 

I think you are looking for this:

But I don't know how it works for reading codes.

 

It is an 02-250 w/5.4

 

On the 2002-04 we have the HEC cluster. It can pull codes, but only instrument cluster codes, not PCM/obd2 codes. The procedure is to hold down the trip button, turn on the key, then the odo will show test. Release the trip button and push until you see some odd codes.

 

I believe it is chrysler made vehicles that give engine/trans fault codes through the odometer.

 

You can only get limited code info...here's an old post.

I just learned that there's a way to get additional data from the odometer.

Follow the link for the info.

WOW!!! I just went and looked at mine.....

There are 49 data fields!

Gage= does a gage sweep and resets to current readings

888888.8 but the first 8 has dots in the two circles, the second 8 has the dot in the bottom circle and there's a hash connecting the first two 8s at the top...the other 8s are all normal

bulb= llluminates all the cluster bulbs

PF 3346= I have no clue

SF 0E05= I have no clue

0091155= I have no clue

r 0402 (flashing) fail= I have no clue

nr 0402= I have no clue

EE01= I have no clue

dt 443A= I have no clue

CFI 60= I have no clue

CF2 00= I have no clue

CF3 00= I have no clue

CF4 00= I have no clue

dtc none= I have no clue

EnG 000= I have no clue

riC 000= I have no clue

tac (moving display showing) 0653 to 0639= current tach

F (moving display showing) 198 to 200= I have no clue

FP 206= I have no clue

079c= I have no clue

oil 000= I have no clue

064 TF= I have no clue

br (moving display reading) 122-125= I have no clue

batt (moving display reading) 14.2 to 14.3=alt output to battery?

rhEO 00= I have no clue

Prnd 40= I have no clue

PAr 0= I have no clue

door 00= I have no clue

Stbt b= I have no clue

CHE 01= I have no clue

PA 80= I have no clue

PB 11= I have no clue

PE 18= I have no clue

P6 20= I have no clue

PH 90= I have no clue

PP 98= I have no clue

PS (moving display reading) 8F to 9F= I have no clue

PT 25= I have no clue

PCAn 1F= I have no clue

Ado 000= I have no clue

Ad1 255= I have no clue

Ad2 255= I have no clue

Ad3 (moving display reading) 088 to 089= I have no clue

Ad4 000= I have no clue

Ad5 255= I have no clue

Ad6 (moving display reading) 181 to 184= I have no clue

Ad7 (moving display reading) 140 to 142= I have no clue

Then it starts again with gage.

ANY help here would be appreciated. Especially with the one that reads the flashing FAIL.

Thanks!

If those are engine running, F should be engine coolant. BR is probably barometric pressure in volts (meaning 1.22v) Although, I didn't think we had MAP sensors. Batt is the electrical charge, it should be the same at the alternator and the battery. RHEO should be somekind of rheostat like the cluster illumination circuit 00 probably means the cluster lamps were off. Prnd is probably the gear selector and a variable voltage to show which gear the cluster believes your in.

The displays are either a 0-255 for voltage or hexadecimal for data, which is why you have a few with a letter and number.

DTC none means you have no error codes stored, Diagnostic Trouble Code. I don't know about the one that failed.

 

Well as it turns out, the instrument cluster wound up having to be replaced....but I don't know how to relate that to the 'r 0402 (flashing) fail'.

turn key to second position. Hold set and reset button down at the same time for 5-10 seconds. You’ll see the gauges swing and then use the trip selector on the cluster to navigate. It will tell you codes, fuel pressure, digital rpm and so on. I stumbled across this trying to reset my tcm

 

05 f150 4.6 d960 d950 9352 9310 engine off key on also k/o e/on got same codes. anybody know what they mean ???

 

Google search "Ford HEC Dealer Test Mode"

Hint: Unless you KNOW what you're doing, this test will be mostly irrelevant to whatever you're trying to do.

 

any info on ford f150 5.4 2002 4x4 with code o7e5

 

On my model year, 2014, and compatible year models, the console reset and navigation and the ignition is used to see a series of settings and resulting codes, but doesn't really show the engine/CPU codes.
With vehicle off, press the "ok" or enter button while turning the ignition to the accessory setting. Within a few seconds the setting dialog will appear and you'll let go of the "ok" button.
You can then toggle through the settings and codes.
You can start the engine while reviewing the codes. This will not necessarily reset any existing trouble codes, but is useful diagnostic information.
I'll try to shrink the videos I've captured of the settings on my vehicle.

 

If you do not know what you are doing, you will be doomed to waste considerable time and effort screwing around with the instrument cluster self tests. They are NOT a substitute for using a proper scan tool for diagnostic purposes as they are limited to only instrument cluster data and functions.
