how do you acces on board diagnostics - 6/20/2006 1:40:16 AM    drw0392 Posts: 158 Joined: 9/24/2005 Status: offline How do you acces the on board diagnostics in an 2003 Mustang GT. I've heard that you can get a digital read out of the rpm, temp, oil pressure, etc. Does anyone know how to acces this? I've heard that you turn the key to the on position and hold the button down in the dash, or something like that any ways. _____________________________ Post #: 1

For those of you who are interested... 1. hold down trip odometer button 2. put key in, turn to acc on. (do not start) 3. as soon as you see "test" let go 4. press the trip odometer button to scroll through displays. 5. to leave diagnostic mode on while driving, simply turn car on while in diagnostic mode. _____________________________ (in reply to drw0392) Post #: 2
