EF/EL Dash Diagnosic Modes - Ford Forums - Mustang Forum, Ford Trucks, Ford Focus and Ford Cars

Does ANYONE who is familiar with the Dash Diagnostic mode on the EF/EF Falcon model know what each screen signifies ? There are about 7-8 screens that are easy enough to work out, but there are a total of 17 screens. I have e-mailed Ford and VDO and they are both reluctant to help (who knows why...and I don't care if the screens are unimportant...I just want to know why they are there !!) so my last resort is to post a thread here and see. HELP !!

I too emailed ford once and they just denied that there is even a diagnostic mode!

Yeah...I had Ford in Rocky acknowledge there was such a mode...the service guy made out that he knew all the screens and what they were....Turned out he knew squat about it all...I did a search on this forum for any previous threads...there were some but they didn't have any answers
