You can get a whole bunch of engine temperatures (and other data) by unlocking the dash. It's a pain to do every trip, but if you had a specific interest in the data for one or two trips (to test something maybe) then it's handy.
While starting the engine, hold down the 'mileage reset' button on the rev counter and keep it pressed for 10 seconds. The dash will go into test mode - advance the tests with the button until you get to the temperatures section and leave it there. Go for a drive and watch the constantly updated figures! This also works on other Fords, Focus and Mondeo being two others I've tried. Hope that helps. Here's the full list: 1.Shows a Gauge Sweep 2. Shows all ACL on the LCD (LCD TEST) 3. Turns on all the annunciators on the dash (BULB TEST) 4. Displays hexadecimal value for ROM level (FirmWare Revision) 5. Displays the hexadecimal value for EE level 6. Shows DTC (Diagnostic Trouble Code) ---------------------> THIS IS VERY, VERY, VERY HANDY! 7. Digital Speedometer - mph 8. Digital Speedometer - kph 9. N/A 10. Digital tachometer 11.Fuel volume 12. Engine coolant temperature 13. Battery voltage 14. ABS/TRACS Error Code 15. Electronic brake distribution (EBD) failure 16. Illumination 17. Crank Sense

It should work pretty much as stated above... While the key is in the ignition and in the off position, press the "tripmeter reset button" (located on the bottom right hand side of the tachometer). Then immediately turn the key to start the car, while keeping the tripmeter reset button pressed. Hold the button until the information display between the tacho and speedo changes to the "test" mode (should take approximately 5 to 10 seconds).
What model do you have? It is possible that this test diagnostic mode is only available on models with the trip computer (i.e. LX and Zetec). |

Mmm my car is down the street somewhere on a count I was intoxicated last night. When I pick it up, or find it, either way, I'll check the stats on it. This will be good if we can all share data.

Ahhh I knew i'd seen this thread before, but you guys seem to have found it...
Has anyone tried it yet? Has it shown up the firmware version? I think its a great idea to compare what versions we all have.. |

Tried it but didn't take much notice. The digital km readout was useless, unless I'm looking at the wrong screen lol.

I remember this popping up on my WP Zetec. You have to hold the button in when the key is in the off position (so you can take it out) then quickly turn the key and start. Hold on till it pops up, a few seconds after the car starting.

I'll try it midday tomorrow when I'm off work. But it shows three numbers and none of them were the 60km/h I was driving.

Ok. Yeah I'm slow but I finally got around to it last night. You actually don't have to turn the car on, just hold in the button and switch to ignition.
I'm running Firmware RAE (rAE) according to this and my forth option. But I have heaps more options than this list. Not sure what they check, but at least another 10. So what Firmware are you guys running? Have I done it right lol? |
