Some Fords – featured is a Mondeo Mk3 – have an instrument cluster self-diagnostics mode, which can give you some basic data readout without the use of an OBD scan tool.
This is the basic list of data (your car may vary):
* Gauge sweep test
* LCD display test
* Cluster bulbs test
* ROM level
* NVM EEPROM level (not an error code)
* DTC revision
* DTC error codes: Will show “none” unless there are codes stored, in which case it will iterate through them. Only cluster codes are shown here, this is not a substitute for a proper ODB2 scan tool to pull general DTC codes.
* Vehicle speed mph
* Vehicle speed km/h
* Averaged speed encoded
* Tachometer (engine RPM)
* Averaged RPM encoded
* Odometer counter
* Fuel level (010 empty to 254 full)
* Averaged fuel level
* Fuel flow rate
* Cylinder head temperature (in degrees C)
* Battery voltage (or more accurately, voltage at the cluster).

I'm doing exactly this and it has no effect on a Ford Focus 2002. The cluster is dead most of the time, maybe it's preventing the test mode from initiating. Or the actual button might be broken.

Is this possible to set the car to perform such a 'needle sweep' every time turning ignition on?
hello good day Craig's DIY Car, I have a mondeo ford equal to that of your video, could you help me the witness of the airbag flashes 3 times and then it stays on that it could be?
Thanks for the precise lesson going to have some fun with my mondeo

Craig I'm trying to find an under carriage splash shield for my 2004 Focus. I could only find one rectangular piece which doesn't cover the entire front end bottom of course. Are there additional parts required?
Hi Craig I have mk3 mondeo tdci with power loss when I put my foot down however it revs great and the engine sounds perfect with no smoke at all.
My egr is blanked and I recently had it deleted from ecu but made no difference but the power loss came long after I did that.
The clutch isn’t slipping and there’s no unusual noises other than this it starts and runs perfect with no fault codes either it’s a strange one as the cars not giving any clues have you got any ideas ?
My Diesel Mk 3 Mondeo does about 40 mpg (measured) but the car computer says its doing something like 50 mpg ! Is it possible to use this system to set the readout to something nearer the correct figure ?
i have a 2.0 litre petrol mondeo 2004
it doesnt tell me the fuel consume ? how can i fix it??
or its a option that my car ddont have?
When I first start my mondeo it's a bit rough like it's running on 3 cylinders but this only lasts about 5-10 seconds with smoke then it's perfect.
Would you or anyone else out there have any ideas as to what this could be ?
Useful video, I have a question I had a problem with the EGR valve, I believe that I fixed it, by cleaning a clearing the code with my android phone after that disconnected the battery and the car runs fine. However after draining the water a bit because I disconnected the house once the coolant fun reach the temperature it turn on but won't turn off the temperature should stay just before the middle, but it is going too low I guess, this is not my car it's a friend's car, so I'm not really sure what's happening I think it could be the coolant be too old and most of it now is tap water, as we didn't have any coolant after the job was done, what I told him we can try is to put new coolant and pure water to see if it stop or not, but I'm not sure if it will solve the problem.
This is pretty cool. I've tried it on mine and there are bunch of other things. Not sure what they mean tho, lol
thanks a lot
Hi Craig, I have the same car, my engine check warning light does not come on, would doing this test tell me if it is the bulb blown? Thanks
Thanks Craig!
