I would say you have a few inclines in your area to give it a test.
This information is put on the screen by the Yaw rate sensor I would imagine.

I didn't realise it showed the steering angle too. I like it!

So from left to right it's Pitch, "Yaw" and Roll?

I was researching what this code actually does.
In a non FX4 models it displays the PITCH, STEERING ANGLE, and YAW/ROLL? Are these all accurate readings without FX4 or 4X4? No electronic sensors needed?

This FORScan code is separate from the Trail Control (cruise control for off road) on Trail Management (Button in 4X4 control near the gear shifter)

I always forget to pull this screen up when I'm doing, what I perceive to be, crazy off camber maneuvers. And when I finally remember to pull it up to see just how crazy it was, I'm already past all the crazy stuff. haha

The OP's picture is displaying pitch, steering angle, and roll in that order. Yaw is not displayed as it's irrelevant.

Yes, it needs all those signals for the other safety features to work properly, so there is no new hardware in the FX4 or 4x4 for those data points.

It's under "Truck Information" (or some name like that) on the dash main menu screen. Just keep paging down past Trip 1 and Trip 2 and all that.
The center image (steering angle) also shows when the front diff is engaged. You'll see the front drivetrain graphic lit up.

Interesting. I'll have to try and remember to check this menu page out more often. Now to just escape winter intact so I can get back to some off-roading and actually have a reason to use this menu page. haha
