Bronco Cheat Codes List

[Brian_B]

These probably aren’t modes people need to be in (aka don’t blame me if you mess something up lol) but just in case you’re curious…

Bezel diagnosis and speaker walk around test:
Ignition on, audio in AM/FM mode
Simultaneously press and hold the on/off button and the seek down button

Dealer Test Mode (Engineering Test Mode):
To enter the IPC engineering test mode or dealer test mode, begin with the ignition off. Press and hold the RH steering wheel switch OK button. Ignition on and continue to hold the button for 5-8 seconds until the display indicates Engineering Test (ET). Press the up or down arrow buttons to navigate through each of the display windows. To exit the IPC dealer test mode, press and hold the OK button for 5-8 seconds or place the ignition in off. Each down arrow button press advances the viewing window to the next set of items.

That reminds me of the Sync Reboot as well! Thank you.

I want the cheat code to stop the horn honking when I close my door while engine is still on...

Money is on the table for this code!

No cheat code. You need to Forscan it. #teamno2honk

They need to do a reboot of that game that doesn't suck. And add a stage where you can shoot from your bronco.

Clutch and Throttle. Hold To the floor. Press and hold the start button for 5 seconds. Will crank without fuel in order to build oil pressure and fill the oil filter

You don’t need to hold. Just press & release.

@swooshdave - you can’t start this manual with the clutch engaged (with the exception of crank in gear during 4L)

So you’re cranking over a cold engine without starting it?

Huh, you mean there's an annoying noise the Bronco makes I don't have???

Lean to the left or right depending on what you ate. You know Taco Bell etc etc

Window Reset Procedure
Carry out all steps within 30 seconds of starting the sequence.
1) Close the window.
2) Press and hold the window control switch until the window is fully open. Keep the window control switch pressed for two seconds.
3) Lift and hold the window control switch until the window is fully closed. Keep the window control switch held for two seconds.
4) Press and hold the window control switch until the window is fully open. Keep the window control switch pressed for a two seconds.
5) Lift and hold the window control switch until the window is fully closed. Keep the window control switch held for a two seconds.

I've got a recurring window issue that this doesn't fix, if anyone knows a different procedure.

Rear passenger window will go up, hit the top, and immediately roll back down. Regardless if it's auto-up or if I'm controlling height. Window reset doesn't work because of the auto-down when I'm trying to hold it closed.

I've lucked my way in to fixes every time it's happened, but don't know what I actually did to be able to repeat it.

The auto-rolling down is a torque thing - in case someone has their arm hanging out or something. There is that screw adjustment in the bottom of the door. Most posts say to adjust it as far outward as you can to eliminate window rattle. Sounds like in your case it may be a bit too tight and need to be backed off a bit.

That would be what I would try first. It could also be a faulty motor or driver and need the dealer to look at.

This is a non-comprehensive list of stuff you can do without needing a programmer/scan tool. Shamelessly copied and pasted from other sources, just putting it in one location. If there are more, or updates/corrections, I'm happy to update the original post with them. I made this so I can print it out and stick it in my glovebox because I can never remember it.

Some of these feel like an April fools joke.
Thanks for putting this together and sharing.

@Brian_B - Might be helpful to edit your original post to include some context for what each “cheat code” is. For example, no idea what “Bezel diagnosis and speaker walk around test” is. Could be helpful to add that context for each one.

I agree. Will do so when I figure it out myself
