Ford HEC Dealer Test Mode
To enter the Ford HEC Dealer Test Mode
On the instrument cluster press and hold the RESET button, turn the ignition switch to the ignion on position II, and then continue pressing the RESET button (5 seconds) until test is displayed in the odometer. The SELECT/RESET button must be released within three seconds of the odometer test display to begin the dealer test mode. Depress the SELECT/RESET button to advance through the following steps until dtc is displayed. Depressing the SELECT/RESET button will display any stored continuous DTCs before proceeding to the next step.
Odometer Display Description
GAGE= Activates gauge sweep of all gauges, then displays present gauge values. Also carries out the checksum tests on ROM and EE. If the gauge sweep is inoperative, INSTALL a new instrument cluster.
All segments illuminated Illuminates all odometer segments. If any odometer segment is inoperative INSTALL a new instrument cluster.
BLUB= Illuminates all micro-controlled indicators and LEDs. Install a new indicator or LED as necessary.
R= Returns to normal operation of all micro-controlled indicators and LEDs and displays hexadecimal value for ROM level. If alternating flashes for FAIL and ROM level are displayed, INSTALL a new instrument cluster.
EE= Displays the hexadecimal value for EE level . If alternating flashes of FAIL and EE level are displayed replace instrument cluster.
DT= Displays hexadecimal coding of final manufacturing test date .
DTC = Displays continuous DTC's in hexadecimal format. Pressing the SELECT/RESET button will display any DTCs stored before proceeding to the next step. See index below for description of trouble codes.
ENG= Displays the English speed in MPH. Speedometer will indicate present speed within tolerances. Display will show 0 if input in not received. If input is invalid for one second or more, or if speed is 0.
M= Displays the metric speed data in kph. Speedometer will indicate present speed within tolerances. Display will show 0 if input in not received. If input is invalid for one second or more, or if speed is 0.
TAC= Displays the tachometer data received from the PCM via the SCP network within tolerances. Tachometer will indicate present RPM. Display will show 0 if input is no received, if input received is invalid for one second or more, or if engine RPM is 0.
FUEL= Displays the code (0-255) for the fuel sender input to the HEC. The fuel gauge will display a filtered fuel level value. This filter will keep the pointer from moving suddenly or erratically.
255= open send +/- 0
232= full stop +/- 0
215= Full mark +/- 10
178= 3/4 mark +/- 8
138= 1/2 mark +/- 7
93= 1/4 mark +/- 5
41= E mark +/- 4
54= Low Fuel (0-59)
0-18= short (0-20 max)
OIL= Displays the code (0-250) for the oil pressure switch input to the HEC. Oil pressure gauge will indicate present oil pressure. Normal oil pressure (greater than 6psi) will display a value between 000 and 176. A low oil pressure or an inoperative engine oil pressure switch (less than 6 psi) will display a value greater than 176.
dEG'C= Display of engine temperature in Degrees C input from cylinder head temperature sensor.
49 C= "C" mark
60 C= Normal band start
120 C= Normal band end
-40 C= No SCP message for 5 seconds
battery voltage Displays the code (0-255) for the battery voltage input to the HEC. Battery voltage gauge will indicate present battery voltage.
93-102 6.2-9.1 volts, low voltage
115-124= 8.5-10.7 volts, Normal band star
t 215-225= 15.8-18 volts, Norm band end
230-241= 16.9-19.1 volts, high voltage
rhEo= Displays the present decimal rheostat dimming input, 0-255
rhi
rhS
rho Not used.
CR= Displays the current RUN/START sense input. Display will show -h for high input with the ignition switch in the START position and -L for low input with the ignition switch in the RUN position.
PA-PE7= not used.
GAGE= Repeats the display cycle
To exit the HEC Dealer Test Mode, turn the ignition switch to the OFF position
