I did that but I'm not sure if it cycles through more than once?

I do brakes on the side out of my 96 Buick and came across my first 1995 F250 today. Come to find out all eight lug nuts were stripping the studs as they were all halfway off, so the noise wasn't brakes. Anyhow, he also had a check engine light. This video has allowed me to prepare to read his codes. This is an older man that loves his truck, so I appreciate this tutorial. Thank you

Kickass video. Going to pull codes from my '88 today.

Hello B.B. "king". Thank you for this great overview on how to without "proper tools." *I discovered that taking a close up video on my cell phone was the next step for your lesson. Since I couldn't pay my son enough money to help me, this was the "trick" needed to catch those fast as fish codes! Cheers. PSR

Get a Actron CP9690 code tester. It lists the code definition for each code. It has code connect to diagnose codes. Instead of counting flashes, it reads it in print along with the code. Warm the engine first. Check the radiator level first.

Thank you very much why it's so good so great that guys like you get online and show us how to do this stuff thank you I appreciate it from the bottom of my heart thank you thank you

I just picked up a 85 LTD wagon and wanted to pull the codes. Your video helped a lot. Thanks!

John Dove That's great, glad to hear. Thank you for watching.

On our 1985 Ford, I had 2 EGR position sensor codes. I was getting vacuum at the EGR at idle. I did the codes test but didn't push the pedal to the floor for the snap acceleration test. I got a TPS code. I ordered a TPS from Autozone. Then I rechecked the codes pushing the pedal down. The TPS code wasn't there. That TPS was 6 yrs. old. I Replaced it and the EGR codes went away! It was the TPS! Now I have a code 13 but it runs o.k. The TPS was holding the throttle open a little causing the EGR to open a little. The engine loped. So, if you get EGR position codes, replace the TPS!

Thanks For this guide! You made it really simple and clear! thanks a ton man!

For Everyone's information if you already didn't know ford and Mazda partnered in the late 80s and early 90s so they are very similar. (pulled codes from a b2200 and Mazda 626 this same exact way ) Dope video btw

I think this is very important .... "The Continuous Memory DTCs are separated from the Key On Engine Off DTCs by a six-second delay, a single half-second flash, and another six-second delay."

Did you find out why it did not flash

How do I reset ABS and Brake light on a 1991 Explorer ? I replaced the brake line and the lights are still on. I pulled the battery for 3 hours, didn't get them to go out. I am not sure what is needed to reset the ABS system. On a 96 there is an ABS module under the dash that you unplug to reset it. Could not find this module on my 91 Any help ? Thanks

Can this be done with the 1988 ford e150 econoline vans 5.0L

'96 E-150 , 4.9 Automatic eating starter drives in winter months . intuition is telling me TPS and code read out 13 , and usually this engine fires up in the first revolution but cold weather start up more revs an a hit and miss creating kick back type resistance against starter. The first time this happened , it blasted the nose cone right to peaces and I'm on my 5th starter this December after last winters 4. What do think ?

I hope this procedure works for you, but here is my experience with my 95 F150, 4.9L. I failed two emissions tests because of high hydrocarbons and high carbon monoxide. I have an OBD 1 adaptor for my truck that works with my OBD 2 code reader, but decided to use the flash system describe here just to see how it worked. I ran the test several times and it returned a code for the throttle position sensor, a code for the MAP sensor and a code for something re: the radiator fan. None of this made a lot of sense for my symptoms. The one thing listed high on the likely problems list for both was an O2 sensor, which did make sense. So, I then tested the engine with my OBD 1. It did not return codes for the TPS or MAP or radiator fan, it returned one code for the O2 sensor. If I had relied on the flash-code system I may well have purchased and installed parts I didn't need and would have not solved the problem. If it works for you, great, but investing a few dollars for an OBD 1 adaptor may be well worth it to you.

Would this work for a 1988 ford e150 van?

I used a digital reader and it said 20 and 50. My symptoms are surging idle/rough running. Any thoughts?

+chad henschen the power source to most diagnostics is shared with the power socket for cigarette lighter. If that fuse is blown, that is most likely the cause.

In the beginning of the video you mentioned that all OBD1 V-8 gas engines. Does it also include 7.5 Liter motor? I hava a 95 F-250 (7.5 Liter). I noiced tat you did the KOEO test but not the KOER? Was there a reason for this? Can you retreive all of the codes with KOEO test?

How is your sound so good?!? I'm shocked. Thank you.

A free flowing intake and exhaust did the trick.

A good website to get the code key from and I have the numbers written down I just don't know where to go to pair them up with the codes themselves

I figured it out. I used an old dome light as a check engine light. Plug a wire into the taller port next to the self test port and run that to a light and then the other end of the light onto the battery and turn the key. Thanks for the help anyways! && don't get me started on the TPS either dude

Good video

My 1994 Ford ranger does not have the grey part. Just the black peice. I do have a 2 prong port along with the black peice. Not seeing the grey peice... The cover box does have an area for that grey part but it's missing. Is there another way to check obd readings?

I sure this works as well for the 4.9L.

I'm trying find my OBD on my '89 7.3L Diesel. Should it be there on the fenderwell, too.

Hi! Thanks a lot for your video and exact way to explain the whole thing. That´ll be my first OBD diagnosis. You say, every car-brand has differences for setting the jumper-cable.

Where do I find the eec relay on a 1993 f150?

Anyone else get a real Jack Nicholson vibe from this guy? Awesome video!

I have an 87 f150 302 and whenever I try to read the codes on the computer, it doesn't work. The engine light comes on as normal to indicate no oil pressure because the truck isn't running, but no check engine light. My EGR was bypassed as well as the smog pump & I'm 99% sure the TPS is bad on mine too so why am I not getting codes?

A CP9690 can test your Ford Ranger 4.0. It checks codes and gives definitions of codes. It's well-lit. It checks solenoid and relay tests. It has code-connect to diagnose codes. It gives the code definition according to that vehicle. EBAY has it. Get 4 aaa batteries for under the rear cover.

I can't agree with you more....haynes manuals are some of the biggest botched up excuses for a shop manual. Can't tell you how many times on how many different vehicles that they were a huge waste of time and just frustrates the mechanic even when just trying to locate something in the manuals. Me and my dad do everything we can to find the good ol' chiltons manuals on ebay n such and so can often get a quality manual for the same or less cost than buying these Haynes manuals at places like autozone and advanced auto.

If I can figure out a way to send you a video of my codes can you tell me what codes it is showing?

What year is the truck you were testing because I can't figure out if my truck has two digit codes or three digit codes

The easiest way to get and read the codes is to simply record the flashes with a phone camera and then you can watch as many times as you want ! Much easier to do especially if you have multiple codes and are working by yourself.

Hate to ask such a dumb question, but what are the specific specifications of the jumper wire? Will any gauge wire do, or does it need to be 22, 20, etc.? Also, what are the "male ends"? Will simply stripping the insulation off the ends and using bare wire be sufficient? Thanks for the video.

I wonder why my 95 f250 powerstroke has an obd2 port? Passenger side under the dash

Subscribed. :) I found this searching to read codes on my 91 Mercury Colony park 5.0 LoPo. I think it probably has the same procedure. I don't have a scribe so I think I will record the flashes using my phone's video camera. It looked like before the "2" there was a single flash. Is that just a heads up? Also is there a longer pause between groups of digits for example 23 13 being flash flash short pause flash flash flash longer pause flash short pause flash flash flash?

Here's Johnny!!!!!

Just discovered your channel. Looks great. I have a question you may know the answer to. I have a 1993 Lincoln Town car. Two days ago I bought a new battery from Advance Auto. They installed it for me. After instillation I drove off. However when I parked at my destination and turned the key off there was a buzzer (some kind of code sound) that came from the dashboard near the glove box that sounded 5 times. It paused and sounded 5 more times. It repeated this for 5 times then stopped. Now every time I turn the instigation off it sounds all over again 5 times pauses then repeated 5 times. In other words 5 times in a group of 5 . 25 buzzes in groups of 5 for 5 times.. I have had the car for years and never heard this. Do you have any idea what it is?

Just a simple piece of aluminum wire worked as a jumper wire for me. I was finally able to get the trouble codes. Sadly, I have no idea where to go from here? The easiest way for ME to see all of the blinks is to film the blinking with my camcorder. Then I can study the recording.

does this work for a 4.9 also?
