goto the trip reset , press and hold as if to reset keep holding , press the start button but do not put your foot on the clutch , keep holding until gauge test comes up , then you can scroll through

Im glad that they kept this one feature through the range to be honest, its a fantastic function! I think Ford did it to make the owners worry when they get a DTC, so that they rush the car to the dealers

but they probably didnt think about us lot on this forum abusing it and sharing the answers and eating their commission

Is there a way to do the gauge sweep on start up or is that verging into elm config
Preee

Don't think there is , only via the actual test mode , ELMConfig does not do this either.

the only time the gauge sweeps on start up is if the battery is low
