Hello,I have a 05 GT. Does anybody know what this error code is? DTE FLI DATA ERROR It comes on and turns my dash pink, beeps alot and sends my fuel gage to empty even though its slap full.

Can't say I've heard of that one. Does a CEL accompany it? Try re-setting the ECU and see if it goes away.

I believe that's an internal factory code that only means what it means to the Ford engineers. Could be in your owners manual though.
I see weird error messages like that on my digital readout while I'm uploading a new program to my MCU. That's the only time I see it.
If you don't own a programmer and or haven't reprogrammed your MCU by yourself then I would say you should take it to the dealer and have them re-upload the factory program. That should handle it if it's a simple MCU brain fart. If not, then you'll probably need to have the MCU replaced.
Could be something as simple as a dirty or lose MCU connector. Check under your hood to see if there it's dirty or lose. Check the condition of your wiring to and from the MCU. Make sure it's all good.
Good luck!

Ah hah, actually it sounds like your MCU is just fine.
I have a feeling you have a lose connection or bad dash control module or perhaps afaulty voltage control unit thatis suppose to feedx volts to the dash and digital control module.
Look under yourdash and see if you can find any loseconnections. Also look at your fuse panel and see if there is alose or cracked fuse that feeds power to the dash control module. You'll have to pulland visually check the fuse to see if it'scracked. Ifit looks funny in any way compared to agood fuse, replace it.
Good luck!
