I am not sure if anyone knows about this or not but I found out how to read info off the OBC using the odometer. so far I have seen this work on a 02 explorer, mustang and focus as well as my 04 explorer. Here are the steps, I am not sure what all the codes mean.
1. Put the key in the ignition, but don't turn it. Push and hold the trip / reset counter button. Don't release it.
2. Next turn the key to the accessory on position. NOT starting your stang, but just to the first click. Leave the key there.
3. Look at your display while you are holding down the button. When you see it say "test" (like shown in the pic), then LET GO the button. You have only a few seconds to do this
4. What will happen next is all your analog needles will "sweep" to their max positions and then drop back to normal. The digital readout will say "GAGE" like shown.
5. Push the button once and the next diagnostic is all the segments in the digital display will show up lit.
6. Push the button again and the readout will say "bulb" and light up all the bulbs.
7. push it a fews times and you will see "eng" followed by your speed in miles per hour.
8.Push it again and you will see an "M" followed by your METRIC speed
reading.
9.Push it again and you will see a "tac" followed by your tachometer numbers. All updated in real time.
Theres a bunch of codes that I cannot figure out. Sorry if this is repeated info. Thought it was cool.
