Last night I stumbled upon the information about the “Engineering Test Mode” and am geeking out. Tried it on mine this morning and it worked like a charm and gave me some interesting information about my battery.
after driving for about 5-10 minutes, the display showed 11.7 volts, and after driving for another 40-50 minutes, charge showed to be 12.1 volts. This was without the engine running.
Outside temp was ~35F.
Am I correct to interpret this to mean it’s time to replace the battery? It’s about 2.5-3y old fwiw; it’s a Motorcraft IIRC.
