not sure if this has been posted before or if it is of any use but i found this gem the other day

( sorry for the blurry video)

how to do this:

1) press and hold trip reset button when car is in OFF position

2) while holding button turn car into ON position or start the car ( either one works)

3) keep holding button until the odometer displaay shows some kind of indication that the diagnostic has started

4) release trip button and then press it again to go through all the various "tests" ....



found this out when trying to figure out if it was possible to do a gauge sweep... :P

thats cool. there used to be something similar in my old focus. but if you turned the car on when in diag mode it would show you oil temp. coolant temp. so on and so forth.
