CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON

A problem with the instrument cluster gauges is common on your year to 06 . The motors that control the speedometer go bad ! Stepper motors are what they are called . Here is a video on how to fix the problem . How to repair GM Instrument Cluster Speedometer Gauge Stepper

Probably,factory installed alternator has failed and vehivle is only using battery power.Suggestion:Start engine and check available voltage at battery with DVOM.SHOULD be 13.9 volts minimum and about 14.5 max.if not in range listed.please have alternator checked for failure.

There is a diagnostic procedure in the factory service repair manual for engine light lit ,no codes . Did you take it to ford dealer ? MIL - is referring to check engine , service engine soon etc...

• MIL always on when engine is running (no DTCs):
• MIL circuits

• For Focus, Mustang, Town Car, Continental, LS6/LS8, Escape, Windstar, F-150, Expedition and Navigator/Blackwood:
• Instrument Cluster, Section 413-01 of the Workshop Manual.
• All Others:
• GO to NB1

SERVICE ENGINE SOON indicator After the engine is started, the SERVICE ENGINE SOON indicator will prove out for a duration of three seconds. If the instrument cluster does not receive a message from the PCM within five seconds, the instrument cluster will illuminate the SERVICE ENGINE SOON indicator and log a diagnostic trouble code (DTC).

• An indicator is inoperative/always on - SERVICE ENGINE SOON

• Circuitry.
• Bulb.
• Instrument cluster.
• PCM.

• GO to Pinpoint Test P .

PINPOINT TEST P: AN INDICATOR IS INOPERATIVE/ALWAYS ON - SERVICE ENGINE SOON CONDITIONS DETAILS/RESULTS/ACTIONS P1 CARRY OUT THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER SERVICE ENGINE SOON INDICATOR ACTIVE COMMAND Trigger the HEC active command MIL.

• Did the SERVICE ENGINE SOON indicator illuminate?

Yes REFER to Powertrain Control/Emissions Diagnosis (PC/ED) manual.

No INSTALL a new instrument cluster; REFER to Instrument Cluster . CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test.

The GEM has nothing to do with it !
Odometer/Trip Odometer
The odometer and trip odometer are displayed in the integrated circuit LCD display. The instrument cluster records the total mileage of the vehicle using information received from the PCM, and electronically displays this information in the LCD. If this information is not received, the LCD displays all dashes. How did you prove that instrument cluster isn't bad ?
Did you have a factory scan tool hooked up , check for DTC'S - diagnostic trouble code's ? View data to the instrument cluster etc...
Instrument Cluster Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Index DTC Description Source Action B1202 Fuel Sender Circuit Open Instrument cluster Go To Pinpoint Test B . B1204 Fuel Sender Circuit Short to Ground Instrument cluster Go To Pinpoint Test B . B1205 EIC Switch-1 Assembly Circuit Failure Instrument cluster INSTALL a new instrument cluster. REFER to Instrument Cluster in this section. TEST the system for normal operation. B1342 Instrument Cluster Is Defective Instrument cluster CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test. If DTC B1342 is present, INSTALL a new instrument cluster. REFER to Instrument Cluster in this section. TEST the system for normal operation. B1359 Ignition Run/ACC Circuit Failure Instrument cluster Go To Pinpoint Test A . B1317 Battery Voltage High Instrument cluster Go To Pinpoint Test N . B1318 Battery Voltage Low Instrument cluster Go To Pinpoint Test N . U2199 Invalid Data for Engine Coolant Instrument cluster Go To Pinpoint Test D .
Your best bet ,take it to a qualified repair shop.

• The speedometer/odometer is inoperative

• Powertrain control module (PCM).
• Instrument cluster.

• Go To Pinpoint Test F .

The speed sensor on your trans sends a signal to the electronics telling it when to shift, this will be where you fault is.

There is no module under the dash on your vehicle .
P0463 - Fuel Level Sensor A Circuit High Description: The powertrain control module (PCM) monitors the fuel level input (FLI) circuit for electrical failure. The test fails when the signal moves above the maximum allowable calibrated parameter for a specified fuel fill percentage in the fuel tank. Possible Causes:

• Fuel pump (FP) module concern
• Incorrectly installed fuel gauge
• Damaged instrument cluster
• FLI shorted to VPWR
• CASE GND circuit open
• Overfilled fuel tank
• Damaged fuel gauge

Diagnostic Aids: See the diagnostic aids for DTC P0460. Application Key On Engine Off Key On Engine Running Continuous Memory Ranger GO to Pinpoint Test HX . All others Refer to the Workshop Manual Section 413-01, Instrument Cluster for fuel level indicator diagnosis.
You start by taking to Dealer or someother qualified repair shop .

does the check engine light come when this happens some vehicles when the speedometer stops working then the check light comes on does the engine change in the way it runs either at cruise or accelerating then this indicates a speed sensor in the transmission has an intermintant problem if there is no check engine light or change in the way the car runs then it is possible the problem is in the speedometer head or connections at the instrument cluster for the speedometer if the light is on then you need to have the computer checked to see if a code is set for the sensor,if so then that is probably were the problem is keep in mind it can also be a poor connection at the sensor,if this not were the problem is then it probably is in the cluster for the speedometer head or the speedometer head itself

ck engine light,,depends on what side of instrument cluster the light on,,one for engine & ones for other system failure ,,abs light on mean that ur abs is in op,,if u have a chance to take ur car to advance auto or auto zone,,they can scan ur car for free & let u know whats wrong,,hoped it helped

My session got terminated abrubtly . Can you please end the session and come online again

Check/change your temp sensor first. Could also be a wiring problem, such as grounding out against something.
