Ford Historic (OBD I) Diagnostics

With the STI in the TEST state, the self-test begins. The Self-Test Output (STO) parameter flashes either a HIGH or LOW. A beep accompanies each LOW flash. Write down the 2– digit or 3 – digit code for reference.

Disregard the blink which may occur when ignition key is turned on. Depending on the vehicle being tested, determines if a three digit or 2 digit code is used. If required, refer to the service manual for applicable code structure.

A digit consists of consecutive LOW flashes or beep — count the number of LOWs for the digit

A short HIGH (short pause) occurs between digits.

A long HIGH (long pause) occurs between codes.

There is no flash for the digit 0 (zero).

After all codes are sent, the series repeats once and then stops. An example is shown below.
