Using Scan Tool
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Lincoln Town Car. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Connect scan tool to Data Link Connector (DLC), located under instrument panel, to retrieve continuous diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) and run self-test diagnostics.
- If self-test is passed and no DTCs are retrieved, go to diagnostic symptoms table. See DIAGNOSTIC SYMPTOMS table.
- If DTCs are retrieved, go to diagnostic trouble code identification table to continue diagnostics. See DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE IDENTIFICATION table.
- If RCM cannot be accessed by scan tool, go to TEST Y: NO COMMUNICATION WITH RCM under DIAGNOSTIC TESTS to continue diagnostics.
