FORD ENHANCED (OBD II) DIAGNOSTICS

This system applies to Ford vehicles manufactured from 1996 to

present. Some vehicles in 1994 and 1995 were equipped with the

EEC-V system. Refer to “Appendix A - Data Link Connectors".

Ford vehicles manufactured from 2002 to present automatically

use Global OBD II Diagnostics.

The first time the scan tool communicates with the vehicle, the communication

type is automatically detected, and is used until the scan tool is turned OFF or

another vehicle is diagnosed.

If an Error Message displays, make sure the OBD II connector is

securely attached, and the ignition key is ON. Cycle the ignition key to

OFF for 10 seconds, then ON. This may be required to reset the computer.

If required, select YES to try again. If the problem still exists, refer to “Error

Messages” on page 8-2.

DTCs stored in the vehicle’s computer

module(s).
