For EF/EL (taken from Fordmods.com):

The diagnostic mode can be entered by using the following method
1) With the ignition key in the off position, press and hold the Odometer reset knob for 10 seconds.
2) whilst holding the button in, switch the ignition to the on position. (Note : It is not necessary to start the car).
3) With the ignition on, press the odometer button 3 times in quick succession.
4) On the third press, hold the odometer button down, until the Seatbelt lamp is no longer illuminated.
5) The Odometer should blank out. After a period of 10 seconds, the display will flash FORD
<li>6) Press the Odometer button again to go to the first Diagnostic mode

To view the next diagnostic mode, press the Odometer button for about 1 second

To view the previous diagnostic modes, press and hold the Odometer button for about 2 second

To Exit the Diagnostic mode, hold the Odometer Button until the Odometer display returns to normal

The codes and their meanings can be found HERE at Fordmods.com

For AU:

The diagnostic mode can be entered by using the following method
1) With the ignition key in the off position, turn the Ignition Key to the On Position.
2) Using the Odometer Button, Press the Odometer Button Down, then release 5 Times within 10 Seconds (Note : You must be very accurate with the timing. Depress the Button for 1 second, then release for 1 second. Do this 5 Times in 10 seconds)
3) Release the Odometer Button for 5 seconds.
4) Depress the Odometer Button for 7 Seconds.
5) Release the Odometer Button for 5 Seconds.
<li>6) Depress the Odometer Button for 7 Seconds.

You should now be within the AU Instrument Cluster Diagnostic Mode

Within Diagnostic mode, there are 19 Diagnostic Screens that are available.
At the moment we do not have enough information as to what all the screens actually are.
To Exit the Diagnostic mode, Depress the Odometer Button for 11 seconds.<li>
Meanings of the codes can be found HERE on Fordmods.com
