Default Dumb Question? - 01-29-2007 , 09:32 AM






My son has a 1994 Ranger and his check engine light comes on once in awhile.
Is there a connection for a coder reader? I have a 96 vehicle (a different
brand of truck, I won't mention here... lol) I use the reader on, and know
very little about his truck.
Thanks for any help
David

Dave,

Yes there is a connection that you are supposed to ground to get the codes
(flashes the check engine light). Its's an OBD I truck, and your 96 is an
OBD II truck, that is why your scan tool wont hook up to it. Get a good
manual for the truck as it will list all codes, and show you where the
connection is, and give you the proper procedure for doing it.
