Retrieving Codes

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Mercury Villager. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Fault codes are retrieved from EEC system through Data Link Connector (DLC) located behind lower left side of instrument panel. See Fig 1. Self-diagnostic test procedures are for use with New Generation Star (NGS) scan tool or equivalent. If a generic scan tool is used, ensure scan tool is certified to OBD-II standard.
