@@matthewsteinert1002 same problem, think it’s the slide pins sticking. Suggest getting new ones. Next time I do my brakes again I plan on doing so. Should have replaced them, I did notice them not working well.
Just fyi: this also works on 2015 and up F150s (although the speed readout isnt hidden or anything) and is useful for when the gauges desync from what the pcm is reading. Sometimes, the speedometer will display incorrect information and will read higher or lower than what the speed actually is. Putting it into ETM resets the gauges.
That's cool, but do you have to do it every time? If the functionality is there, it's sucks they don't give you the option to turn it on as a normal function.
You could even do this on the old ones, my 2000 used to do it it would just display on me mileage area. You control it with the trip odometer reset button
David Klimmek Do you have a F150? If so, What is it going to be when it grows up? I wonder if my F350 used to be a wittle itty bitty f150. JustK'in. A Dodge w/Crummins was havin road rage and I got next to him at a redlight. I motioned for him to roll down his window while pointing like at his tires so he took it seriously and fell for it. Then I asked him "whats that Truck gonna be when it grows up?? A Ford?". Increased his road rage tenfold. So i pulled out my pistol and I shot his tires. Any Ford is better than Dodge Crummins
@@Jobro_Ya_Know fun fact of Chevy, the typically have less recalls then their Ford counterparts. I mean, sure, they also have found out it's easier to just pay off the families of the people that die do to their mistakes, but oh well
yes, its purely for diagnostic purposes. most all newer vehicles have a "hidden" feature like this. my 2017 maxima has a diagnostic feature that shows yaw rate and various other sensor readings. digital speedo is a factory feature though.
Ant T -- Why should that reading be anymore accurate or "truer" than the standard speedometer? The speedometer information is probably generated at a single point for both displays.
Neat feature I guess, but not really necessary. I drive a 2011 with the same dash setup and I have no problem reading the guage. My girlfriend's 2016 Chevy Malibu is a different story: the analog guage is angled down, so I need the default digital display to read it easily.
In the mustang the speedometer is off by like 4mph there’s so much wheels and tire sizes I’m sure ford didn’t tune them correctly and tuned them to the spec of one size When I was on stock tires it never read accurate.
Did you have to use the second plug-in on the white part of the back of the cluster I have a 2010 F-150 XLT with only one plug for the top in mind did not work mine looks just like yours
My company vehicle is a 2018 Ford Transit Connect that has a digital speedometer. My personal vehicle is a 2014 F-150. I wish the F-150 had a digital speedometer. So much nicer to be precise.

Stop living in the 80's dude. Computers now control the air to fuel mix the accelerator calls for without running too rich or too lean. The only reason a vehicle needs to "warm up" is if it's cold outside and you need to defrost the windshield.
@@cuteface88 In that case, you should be reluctant to crank it at all when it's cold. Combustion isn't a slow process, it happens immediately. If immediate combustion itself doesn't hurt the thick block of cast iron or aluminum during startup, it's definitely not gonna hurt it afterwards. Unless you have a block made of glass, you shouldn't have a problem.
Newer Garmin GPSs I'm a fan of partially due to right bottom corner I can have speed and speed limit listed that turns red when exceeded. However I've gotten so used to it that driving cars without it I don't know what speed to drive! lol
That is what I want but u have to leave that engineer part to use the rest of the other functions. The Guage Detail why is there to 3 available options but then only 2 option that pop up an the third being blank?
Marcelo Esquivel 1991 GMC Jimmy’s are POS even when they were new. And GM’s suck. There is a reason why any mechanic or someone who knows how to work on vehicles calls them crummy motors.
I jsut saw this, and you realize what the digital speedo is for... right? it's to make sure your other speedo is reading properly..... it's not like you found some uber secret bro.
Kind of an anti climatic ending, the font and size of the numbers is a letdown. Ford could have at least had some graphics and a bigger font for the digital speedo, just saying....
Will not work for one sold in Canada that made its way back to the states Soooo in other words. Before you buy a used vehicle. Make sure it’s not meant for Canada
the 2014 ford f150 doesn't display a digital read out of your speed, just the analog which can be incorrect. mine is, i'll have my nuvi on and my speed will be 65 but the speedometer needle will indicate 67 or so. i think ford dropped the ball on that part of the driver information module.
Depends on the wheels and tires setup you have also. Bought my 5.0 truck with aftermarket wheels and decent size all terrain tires. It averaged 15 mpg. I upgraded to larger mud terrain tires. Now I average 12.5 mpg. 17mpg seems doable on stock wheels and tires. ,and good driving habits of course
It is getting to the point that a Dash Cam is imperative. Viewing the recording while driving is a distraction. The one I use, the Rove, displays a black screen with your date, time, speed, and direction of travel while recording. It is nice to have that to verify my instruments (which are not accurate BTW). And you get video of really idiot drivers.
If you dont know it exists, and is not in the manual. Technically it is "hidden" . But as i commented on some one elses... i cant stand why ford made it this way... even just to check Tire pressures is a pain... i just go around with a gauge... takes less time
All that for the digital speedo?? wow. I just the one arrow button to the right or left/up down on my steering wheel and the digital speedo comes up in a split second, in my tacoma....(not that im trying to start a brand war). this just seems like a lot of bullshit for something that is so elementary in another vehicle. I can go from digital speedo, to what's playing on my radio, to fuel economy, to the pitch of my vehicle, etc etc.,...all with my thumb...all within a second...My digital speedo stays on there indefinitely, until I hit the arrow again...I like the new ford interior styling, gauges etc, but this is kind of basic and stupid to have to go through this every time. Just my two cents.
the later on trucks and other models this function is native on the dash for customers. i guess they thought why have that when the speedo is huge and personally i agree i like gauges
Enio Corrizzato Agreed. I ll flip through sometimes and have the fuel economy thing, that I also don't care about. I can have whats on the radio, the pitch /roll stuff...i miss my old caprice with just a speedo and a fuel gauge. Three idiot lights that never lit up, unless there was an issue, and rarely there was an issue...too many electronics now lol
See why Ford's are so popular ... Its easy to do stuff in settings .... And didn't the f150 have a triton 3v 5.4 liter .... That costs about 2 grand for a spark plug change. I am so glad I have old chevys
Too much trouble for a Windows 95 version of a digital reading. Pass
that looks nothing like windows 95 digital display. either you are on tough narcotics or are just plain stupid.

I had a 2000 mustang for 10 years and i never knew about this
How do you make the numbers bigger once you get into that mode? Or do I just need to buy a new cluster?
