There is a superb way to get real-time information from your OBD2 port (the plug beneath the steering wheel) for $16.
Back in the day this was a $10K plus endeavor and not realtime as you drive.
1) Get an OBD2 Bluetooth Adapter
- Amazon.com: Yongtek ELM 327 Bluetooth Obd2 Scan Tool - For Check Engine Light and Other Diagnostics - Android Compatible: Automotive
- Ford has some 'special' codes so if you go EBay, etc. be sure to look in comments and make sure it's a Ford-OK adapter.
2) Get the Torque app for your Android device.
- Torque — OBD2 Performance and Diagnostics for your Vehicle

3) For reference, here are the Ford PID codes:

It's quite amazing how much information this will yield.
Also gives you the ability to check for Fault Codes and much, much more.
Enjoy and drive safe.
