Sometimes there are situations in the life of drivers when it is necessary to stop the registration of kilometers, especially if the trip in a company car is connected with personal goals.
Instructions
Step 1
The proposed scheme for turning off the speedometer is standard for several car models at once, including for Ford cars. So, in order to temporarily turn off the speedometer and stop calculating the mileage traveled in Ford, regardless of its model, you should follow a series of simple steps.
Step 2
Prepare the car for the shutdown process - put it in the garage and apply the parking (hand) brake. Then lift the hood lid and remove the wire from the negative terminal of the battery, so as not to cause a short circuit in the on-board power supply network and not burn the expensive electronic stuffing of your car due to careless actions.
Step 3
Decide on the location of the speed sensors in your Ford vehicle, or rather, the anti-lock vehicle anti-lock system (ABS). It consists of an electronic control unit, which is directly connected to the speedometer and ABS sensors located in the wheel hubs.
Step 4
Since it is the ABS sensors that give information about the mileage and speed of the car, turn them off, or rather, remove the F6 fuse in the 10A connector. To do this, detach the 2 clips of the air duct and the cover of the plastic container. Find the smallest fuse on the corresponding connector under the cover.
Step 5
As soon as the indication "ABS malfunction" appears on your dashboard in the speedometer area, and instead of numerical values you see a row of "dashes" on the screen, the speedometer will be disabled.
Step 6
As anti-lock ABS interferes with the braking function of the vehicle, be prepared for some problems. After all, the braking system of a Ford car depends on the full operation of the ABS, and when it is turned off, the likelihood of a skid increases during hard braking. In addition, disabling the speedometer through the speed sensor fuses will prevent you from accelerating to full speed.
