FORD ENHANCED (OBD II) DIAGNOSTICS

IMPORTANT

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 2000 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.
