Ford F-150 how to enable (hidden digital speedometer) Engineering/Diagnostic Mode

Informative video on how to access the Ford Engineering Test Mode or also know as Dealer Mode. You can toggle between all kinds of neat features like a digital speedometer, digital tachometer, etc! Hope you guys liked the video. Feel free to subscribe like and comment below!

Thank you very much,! Woke up yesterday morning and my miles per hour needle is 15 miles slower than what I’m actually doing, and this work around works just great rather than spending hundreds of dollars to get this issue fixed, thank you!

[@John-sc4sn]

Lifesaver man or ticket saver thought my speedometer was off remember seeing this video a while back pulled it back up enabled digital speedometer close to 10 miles an hour difference thanks for uploading

[@vincentmiller7332]

On the lower trim, level F150, you just have to hold down reset and setup and it can do the same thing. I did it on my 2012 STX F150.

[@JJ-7519]

My 2013 did this same thing today! Damn good thing I have a warranty

Really disappointed that the truck doesn't automatically show the digital speedometer on the main screen. This should be one of the major features, not a hidden one!

My 2003 Ford Focus SE does this when you hold down the trip reset button when starting the car. Granted it does not have as many options as my 14 F150, but it does work. Ford seems to have introduced it around 2000 in their vehicles. Good features if you know what you are looking for.

I don't have any use for the digital speedometer yet still stock but i definitely like knowing my voltage level and coolant temp 👍🏽

I have a 2013 Ecoboost, do you know if there is a boost gauge? I'm shocked they didn't install one from factory like the diesels have. Always wondered if there was one hidden in the menu.

[@itsoundzgood]

I don't think there is. I know the 15+ f150 has a boost gauge

[@noesalgado5038]

Yes is not included on the cluster meter . However, you can install an external one. The harness is there under the dash.

Hold the interior light dim button on the right side to turn the cargo light on.

how do you select when on the digital speedometer?

Jessie Nalls just hit the ok button to cycle through and find what you want. Then whatever find and that's what you want just leave it and don't hit ok again and it will stay

[@roryolson61]

I'm trying to find the default code for the keypad on my door. I bought my 2013 used and they didn't have it. Did that code show up when you cycled thru?

[@itsoundzgood]

No. But I know where to find it. Look at the sticker on your fuse box in the passenger kick panel area. There is a sticker on it and that is actually your door code

[@roryolson61]

@@itsoundzgood - thanks for your quick response! I'll go right to that panel!

[@SuperSecretSquirell]

If the sticker isn't there, you can get the dash to display it. You'll need 2 keys though. Insert the first and turn to run (don't start), after 4 seconds remove the key, insert the other and turn it to run (again, don't start). Once it does it's "welcome" screen, it'll give you the 5-digit code.

Would this work for a 2010 F150? My father has the smaller screen.

[@jarrodbuck9335]

You are incorrect.. Actually both are correct. "Two Thousand Fifteen", is used mainly by British. where "Twenty Fifteen" is more commonly used in America. Then there is also, "Two Thousand And Fifteen". which is a third way of saying 2015 which is also correct. 2019 was the last year you could say three different ways. The correct way to say the year after 2019 is "Twenty Twenty", "Twenty Twenty One", and "Twenty Twenty Two".
