Instrument Cluster – Overview
Replacing the instrument cluster
When installing a new instrument cluster, the Ford
diagnostics device must be connected before
dismantling the instrument cluster, in order to load
the configuration data of the defective instrument
cluster using the "Installation of programmable
modules" routine. In addition, the value on the
odometer of the defective instrument cluster must
be noted, as this is required for configuration of the
new instrument cluster. If the odometer value
cannot be obtained from the instrument cluster
(display failure), the customer should supply the
approximate value.
When installing a new instrument cluster, the Ford
diagnostics device must be connected after
installation in order to download the configuration
data of the defective instrument cluster into the
new instrument cluster using the "Installation of
programmable modules" routine, and to configure
the newly installed instrument cluster to the PATS
system.
Self-diagnostic mode
1.
To enter the instrument cluster self-diagnostic
mode, simultaneously press and hold the set
button and turn the ignition switch from position
0 to position II.
2. Entry to self-diagnostic mode is confirmed when
'TEST' is displayed in the odometer's liquid
crystal display (LCD). The instrument cluster
set button must be released within 3 seconds
of TEST being displayed in the tripmeter LCD
(liquid crystal display) display. Otherwise the
system will exit self-diagnostic mode.
3. To navigate through or skip any of the
instrument cluster self-diagnostic mode tests,
press the SET button. If the SET button is pressed for more than 3 seconds between tests,
the instrument cluster will exit self-diagnostic
mode.
4. Self-diagnostic mode is deactivated when the
ignition switch is turned to the OFF position or
low battery voltage is detected.
5. If input data to the instrument cluster is missing
or invalid, the tripmeter LCD will display '----'.
6. If the self-diagnostic mode cannot be activated,
test the instrument cluster using the Ford
diagnostic device. G1030769en

System Operation
Instrument Cluster
The instrument cluster contains analog displays
as well as warning and control lamps for displaying
the system status; in addiiton, there is an LCD
indicator field for driver information.
The instrument cluster receives the following
signals from the PCM via the high speed CAN
(controller area network) Bus (HS-CAN):
• Vehicle speed – The PCM receives the necessary signalsfrom the ABS (anti-lock brake system) wheel
sensors from the ABS control unit on the
HS-CAN.
• Engine Coolant Temperature
• Engine oil pressure.
• Engine speed
The instrument cluster receives the following
signals from the GEM via the medium speed CAN
Bus (MS-CAN):
• Ambient temperature
• Brake fluid level
• Handbrake control
• Door latch control
• Liftgate latch control
• High beam control
• Headlamp flasher control
• Direction indicator control
The fuel level signal is sent by the two fuel level
sensors in the fuel pumps in the semitrailer tank,
which is wired to the instrument cluster. The
sensors are connected in series, and the total
resistance is determined from the two individual resistors. The instrument cluster converts the raw
fuel level signal into a damped fuel level value.
The odometer shows the total distance travelled
by the vehicle and is based on the same signal as
is processed for the daily mileage counter. The
value is recorded by the instrument cluster and
stored in a protected EEPROM (Electronically
Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory) area.
This area is a memory protected against
manipulation. If the instrument cluster detects an
error in this memory area, e.g. through damage,
the driver is notified with the "Odometer error"
message.
Message center
The message center is operated using the left-hand
switch on the steering column.
The SET/RESET button is activated to select a
submenu and change the settings. If signal tones
have been activated, a short acoustic signal will
sound each time a button is pressed.
By turning the rotary switch, the different menu
displays can be scrolled through or a setting
selected.
In this display, the navigation system can also
display direction and distance information.
In addition, safety and warning messages can be
displayed in this system, such as "Coolant
overheating", "Engine system error" or "Washer
fluid level too low". In addition to a safety message,
a general warning light (red/yellow) lights up.

Safety Belt Minder Deactivating/Activating
Preparation
1. Apply the parking brake.
2. Place the transmission selector lever in P
(Park) - vehicles with automatic transmission
or the neutral position - vehicles with manual
transmission.
3. Turn the ignition switch to the 0 position.
4. Close all the vehicle doors from the inside of the vehicle.
Deactivating/Activating
NOTE: Deactivation of the belt minder may also
be carried out using IDS. Follow the instructions
on the screen.
1. Unbuckle the drivers safety belt.
2. Turn the ignition switch to position II. (Do not start the engine).
3. Wait at least 15 seconds.
4. NOTE: This step must be completed within 60 seconds or the procedure must be
repeated.
Buckle then unbuckle the safety belt nine
times, ending with the safety belt unbuckled.
Release the red unbuckle switch completely
every cycle.
5. The safety belt warning indicator flashes three times to confirm the belt minder status
change.
6. Turn the ignition switch to position 0. The deactivation/activation procedure is now
complete. G167271en

Parking aid sensors
CAUTIONS:
Always keep sensors free from dirt, ice and
snow. Do not use any sharp objects to
clean the sensors. If a high-pressure cleaner is used to wash
the vehicle, the jet must only be aimed at
the sensors briefly at a distance of at least
20 cm.
The parking aid sensors have a separate
decoupling ring, which must be removed before
painting the sensors, and then refitted.
