us guys with digital mileage can do this to scan for trouble codes as of a few other things...
http://http://www.obd-codes.com/trouble_codes/ford/
The above site lists Ford trouble codes. You might find it useful if you use the following diagnostic trick:
With the key OFF, push (and hold down) the SELECT/RESET button on your odometer.
Start the vehicle while still holding the button. Continue to hold it down, until all of your gauges jump up to their maximum, and then return to normal.
When you see "bulb" in the digital odometer readout, let off the button. This is the gauge test mode.
Some of the things you can view on your odometer screen are:
Digital speedometer (mph)
Digital tachometer (RPM)
Digital speedometer (kph)
Battery Voltage
Engine Temperature
Plus, you can also view any
TCs stored in the computer!

Any idea what the information in the photos mean? My truck is 1994 4x4 with E4OD and 5 liter engine.
