As far as I know EB Gli's don't have a digital dash, and I'm pretty sure it won't work on the EA and EB High series digital dash.

EL/EF Diagnostics

Gives you more accurate information for testing purposes i.e. your exact speed instead of just looking at the speedo and hoping its correct.

Temperatures etc can also be handy in fault finding or looking for issues with your car.

The modes listed here are what Ford mechs use when servicing your car.

TIRED6 · 09-09-2005, 08:04 PM

hehe, i tried the speedo one and found my speedo is 5k's slow, but i also shat myself when it automatically returned to normal as the gauges all drop for a second. OOpps, what the hell went wrong. had me going.

: thats the unfortunate bit about it - it does revert back to normal mode after a while and it does scare you! its perfectly safe though, you wont lose control or anything when it happens. you might just ruin a good pair of pants.

Some people claim they can make their car stay in the mode indefinitely but in my EF it would only ever last 15 mins max.

Age182 · 10-09-2005, 12:14 PM

thankz alot guys and thankz to GenesiS for putting the list there

MightyXR6Turbo · 10-09-2005, 02:00 PM

The diagnostic mode is just a function of the EF/L instrument cluster. So regardless of if you have EEC-IV or EEC-V in your EA-ED there is nothing you can view unless you have an EF/L instrument cluster.

xxxc · 10-09-2005, 06:51 PM

doesnt work on my el ,unless im doing it wrong

Age182 · 10-09-2005, 07:32 PM

yea wat GenesiS got off the ford mods site is wrong i tryed it to do it like how i said to at the top of the page

MightyXR6Turbo · 11-09-2005, 03:01 AM

All you do is hold in the odometer while its off, then turn the ignition on, and depress it 3 times and hold it on on the third time and wait for the seat belt light to go off
the odometer should then go blank indicating its in diagnostic mode, just hit the button and it will change what indication it is on.

to turn it off, just hold the odometer reset in and it will go back after a few seconds

Age182 · 11-09-2005, 11:28 AM

mines not like that either mine to turn it on it only works how i said it and to turn it off i have to repeat those steps

MightyXR6Turbo · 11-09-2005, 01:11 PM

Well you are just prolonging how u do it, it doesnt need to take that long to do. You musn't be doing it correctly, because on every single EF/L i have done it on, it has worked that way, and everyone else I know does it that way, so I would say you would be the exception rather than the rule

347Stroker · 11-09-2005, 01:24 PM

On my EL when I found it in 99 on a Ford TSB it would stay on untill I turned the ignition off....
