Thank you...

4l34 10849 oco2 is the casting number for the instrument cluster in that truck. That way the technician could retrieve the part number for the cluster without pulling it out if they needed to order one, or if original part number needed for some reason or another.

Wow thanks for this! I cant believe that with all these countless Ford mechanics helping every one of us out here with there yt vids, I don't believe i have ever come across a video that exposes this awesome gem. Once again, thank you for taking the time in doing this video👏

OK... HERE WE GO! 1. Put the key in the ignition, but don't turn it. Push and hold the trip / reset counter button. Don't release it. 2. Next turn the key to the accessory on position. NOT starting your stang, but just to the first click. Leave the key there. 3. Look at your display while you are holding down the button. When you see it say "test" (like shown in the pic), then LET GO the button. You have only a few seconds to do this. 4. What will happen next is all your analog needles will "sweep" to their max positions and then drop back to normal. The digital readout will say "GAGE" like shown. 5. Push the button once and the next diagnostic is all the segments in the digital display will show up lit. Like the pic shows. 6. Push the button again and the readout will say "bulb" and light up all the bulbs like the batt, traction control and other cluster bulbs. Neat huh ?..  7. Push the button again and the ROM version is displayed. 8. Push the button again and you get the EE level. Part of the id. 9. Push it again and you see the hex value for the manufacturing test date. 10. Push it again and you will get any diagnistoc trouble codes or DTC's (if any). See table below for a list of codes. This code is for an oil pressure switch failure (example). 11. THE COOL PARTS START HERE. push it again and you will see "eng" followed by your speed in miles per hour. We were standing still but if we were moving, we could get a digital speedo reading in real time. 12. Push it again and you will see an "M" followed by your METRIC speed reading. 13. Push it again and you will see a "tac" followed by your tachometer numbers. All updated in real time. The engine was off here so it was 0000. CLICK HERE for a video 126k Mpeg of the digital tach in action. (recorded from our Mustangworld project 00 stang) 14. Push it again and you see your fuel level, see chart below for what the numbers mean. 15. Push it again and you see your oil pressure. The engine was off so ours read 255. 16. Push it again and you will see your engine temperature "deg" see chart below for what the numbers mean. 17. Push it again and the battery voltage input to your cluster is shown (current battery level) 0 - 255. See chart below for normal settings. 18. Push the button again for the RH codes (there are a few screens of them and they flash). 19. Eventually you will end up at the Cr code, this shows the current RUN/START here it shows "-h" meaning in the key was in the start position. 20. You will make it to the PE codes then back to the "GAGE" and the cycle starts all over again. TO EXIT the diagnostic mode, press and hold the trip meter for 5 seconds or until your odometer is displayed again. You can also just remove your key and it will return to normal. To see your digital speed / tach, etc.. as your stang drives All you do is once in this diagnostic test mode, simply start your stang and the display will revert to this mode again and you can scroll through until the digital speedo is showing and see your speed digitally.

Hey Man: I'm a ford truck owner and I never knew this feature was in it. A big thank you Brother!

1. The 4L34 10849 is the part number for the cluster 2. Second set of numbers is the calibration 3. Ign b is the position the is the position of the key in the ignition 4. Dtcs shown are cluster related, will show dtcs if there is faults within the gauge cluster not the pcm (engine computer)

Sweet. Just bought a 2004 F 150 4X4 and I had no idea this little feature was there. Gonna try it tomorrow, thanks

just bought an 01 f150, this will save me some trouble and time in the future. thanks

I'll def be trying this specially for the oil pressure if it actually gives a real psi number that's worth gold in our trucks with the 5.4L 3v

I've owned my truck for like right years and NEVER knew this. Greatly appreciated good sr!!!

There's also a Flux Capacitor if you know how to access it, I travel back to the 80s now and then, especially if I'm being pulled over I'm Outta-Time.......

As a Ford guy all my life...I didn't know this. Thank you! I'll go check my 150 and the wife's focus and my sons mustang in 5 minutes. Thanks again!

Older Trucks can do something similar. I have a 92 F-150 with the digital ODO and you can access a similar feature. If this feature is like it is on my truck. The numbers that pop up after the test sequences are to program the computer to calibrate for tire size. That code is the code needed for the size tire that was/is on the truck to accuratly display MPH.

Man Scotty Kilmer is gonna be pissed that his 5000 scan tool is no longer needed!

Good job bro, I didn’t know about this and I’ve had my expedition for 20 years😂

2 years later and this was cool to learn. Much thanks.

Very cool, I've been driving these since 2007 and never new that. Thanks for sharing!
