Displaying and Reading Diagnostic Trouble Codes

NOTE: Ford DOES NOT provide a procedure to retrieve or clear trouble codes. Code retrieval is integrated into the EATC Module Self-Test. Ford DOES NOT provide an alternate procedure for performing the Self-Test with an NGS or generic tester.
















NOTE: The in-vehicle temperature should be greater than 10°C (50°F) for all DTCs shown to be valid.

^ The control assembly will detect electrical concerns occurring during the On-Board Diagnostic.

^ Ensure that the engine is warm, at least 120°F coolant temperature.

^ To display the DTCs, initiate the On-Board Diagnostic by pushing OFF and FLOOR simultaneously and then AUTOMATIC within two seconds. The test may run as long as 30 seconds, during which time the display will be blank. If the display is blank for more than 30 seconds, go to System Diagnosis When On-Board Diagnostic Indicates No Errors Found.

^ The On-Board Diagnostic Test can be initiated at any time with the resulting DTCs being displayed. Normal operation of the system stops when On-Board Diagnostic is activated. To exit the On-Board Diagnostic and restart the system, push the BLUE button. The On-Board Diagnostic should be deactivated before powering the system down. Refer to the Symptom Chart for an explanation of DTCs. Symptom Related Diagnostic Procedures
