Accessing Ford OBD1 Trouble Codes
Using Analog Voltmeter
Exc. EEC-V, DI 7.3L Turbo Diesel & Villager
Connect analog voltmeter to data link connector located in engine compartment. When a diagnostic trouble code is reported on the analog voltmeter for a functional test, it will represent itself as a pulsing or sweeping movement of the voltmeter’s needle across the dial face. Accessing diagnostic trouble codes. Use the Analog voltmeter or Test light method, not both.
Using Check Engine/ MIL
Exc DI 7.3L Turbo Diesel, Merkur (2.9L), Villager & 85–88 2.3L Engine
The MIL lamp is intended to alert the driver of certain malfunctions in the engine control system. If such a fault occurs, the EEC-IV processor will substitute a value or values and continue operating. In some cases this action may result in a slight change in vehicle driveability. The Check Engine lamp can be used to read DTCs. The instrument panel Check Engine lamp will remain on when a hard fault is present. During the Self test sequence, a DTC is reported by the Check Engine lamp. It will represent itself as a flash on the Check Engine lamp display on the instrument panel. A single digit number of three will be reported by three flashes. However, as previously stated, a DTC is represented by a two digit number, such as 2–3. As a result, DTC 2–3 will appear on the Check Engine lamp display as two flashes, then after a two second pause, the lamp will flash three times. DTC interpretation. Check engine lamp Continuous Memory DTCs are separated from Key On Engine Off DTCs by a six second delay, a single half second flash, then another six second delay.Villager
Accessing DTCs. MIL
- Disconnect Diagnostic Test Connector (DTC) located on LH side of engine compartment, on transaxle behind coolant reservoir.
- Using suitable jumper wire, jump BL/W and GY/BL wires.
- Wait about two seconds.
- Remove jumper wire and reconnect DTC.
- Record DTCs by reading MIL flashes.
Using Message Center
Continental
Accessing DTCs. Message center See Image above
- Using electronic instrument cluster, hold in all three buttons (select, checkout and reset buttons) at same time.
- To conduct Key-ON/Engine-OFF (KOEO) Self test portion, hold in all three buttons and turn ignition On, then release three buttons.
- To conduct Key-ON/Engine-Running (KOER) Self test portion, hold in all three buttons, turn ignition On and release three buttons.
- On 87–90 models, press select button three times
- On 91–95 models, depress gauge select button three times until ‘‘DEALER 4’’ is displayed.
- On all models, to initiate Self test, using a jumper wire, jump self test connectors STI to SIG RTN.
- On 87–90 models, a base readout of 4255 indicates that KOEO self test has been entered.
- On 87–90 models, a base readout of 4030 indicates engine running self test has been entered.
- On 87–90 models, DTC output will be the RH three digits displayed. Service pass code is 4011.
- On 91–97 models, DTCs will be displayed on message center.
- On all models, to exit Self test, turn ignition Off.
Using Overdrive Cancel/Transmission MIL (OCIL/TMIL)
On 89–98 models equipped with 7.3L diesel engine and E4OD transmission, perform KOEO Self Test if the OCIL/TMIL lamp flashes. The lamp stays off when OSC is toggled once to indicate vehicle can attain overdrive gear position. The lamp stays on when OSC is toggled to prevent vehicle from shifting into overdrive position. DTC 99 indicates a fault in the E4OD transmission Electronic Pressure Control (EPC) circuit. Under this condition, the lamp serves as the Transmission Malfunction Indicator Lamp (TMIL).Clearing Codes
Except MCU SystemEEC-V & DI 7.3L Turbo Diesel
The PCM can be reset using the New Generation Star (NGS) Tester or by disconnecting the battery ground cable for five minutes. If the battery ground cable was disconnected to clear DTCs, the vehicle may operate rough for the first few miles until adaptive values are relearned.EEC-IV Continuous Memory
1. Perform KOEO self test. 2. When DTCs begin to display, deactivate self test as follows:a. STAR tester, position center button in up position. b. Analog Volt/Ohmmeter, remove jumper wire from self test input connector and signal return pin of self test connector. c. NGS tester, depress STOP button. d. Check engine lamp, remove jumper wire from self test input connector and signal return pin of self test connector. e. Message center, remove jumper wire from self test input connector and signal return pin of self test connector. f. OCIL, remove jumper wire from self test connector and signal return pin of self test connector.3. Continuous DTCs should now be erased.Keep Alive Memory (KAM)
To clear keep alive memory, disconnect and isolate negative battery cable for a minimum of five minutes. After clearing memory, it is necessary to drive vehicle a minimum of 10 miles to allow processor time to relearn value.Merkur 2.9L & 85–88 2.3L Engine
1. Initiate KOEO self test. 2. Remove jumper wire from self test input terminal as soon as first diagnostic trouble code is received (even if an 11 is the first DTC). 3. Repeat self test with jumper wire to verify DTCs have been erased.Aspire, Capri (1.6L), Escort & Tracer (1.8L), Probe (2.0L w/4EAT, 2.2L & 2.5L) & 88–93 Festiva
1. Initiate KOEO self test. 2. Unlatch push button on Super Star II Tester as soon as first diagnostic trouble code is received. 3. Disconnect and isolate battery ground cable, then depress brake pedal for 5–10 seconds. 4. Conduct self test to ensure DTCs have been erased.Villager
Except Malfunction Indicator Lamp DTCs may be erased using one of two methods. Disconnect battery ground cable, DTCs will be erased from back-up memory after 24 hours. When using NGS tester, select Diagnostic Test Mode Results, then depress CLEAR. Malfunction Indicator Lamp 1. Activate diagnostic test mode. 2. Disconnect DTC. 3. Using suitable jumper wire, jump BL/W and GY/BL wires. 4. Wait about two seconds. 5. Remove jumper wire and reconnect DTC. 6. MIL will stay on, and DTCs will be erased.MCU System
To clear DTCs, turn ignition Off. MCU system does not have KAM to retain service DTCsAlso see this page EEC IV Diagnostic page for more Ford information.

Trying to find out what the codes I have from my 94 Ford Taurus GL 3.0 l V6
Hi I have a 2019 Ford Fusion 2.5l Trim S base model there is nothing listed for this motor on your site where can I find these codes I am using Forsacan to scan my car and cannot get any answers from them either.
94 Ranger with a 93 engine and ECU in it. Been driving it for over a year and able to use the jumper wire method to get codes with no problem. Then out of nowhere the system still acts like it’s in “test mode” yet I don’t have the jumper wire in it. Been like this for about 2 months now. I’m sure it’s a snafu in the wiring somewhere but a second opinion would be helpful.
What is a “stored code” ?? 2003 Lincoln Towncar – Signature ?
1992 Town Car with W in VIN position 8, and flashing air bag light on digital dashboard.
It seems to be counting off 1-5.
There seem to be several OBD-1 Ford connectors on this vehicle, on each side of the engine compartment.
Any suggestions how to decode, and reset, or get the car to ignore whatever problem to put an end to the distraction?
For extra credit, any way to use an OBD1 to OBD2 adapter cable and an OBD2 dongle with this vehicle?
