I own the obd1 code reader for Ford, Lincoln, Mercury. I just plug it into the test port under the hood of my 1992 Ford Tempo. It gives me a code number. I look up the code number in the thick book that came with the code reader and it said "cylinder 1 misfire." I bought mine at Walmart back in the day, but I still see them on ebay for $40. You had to buy separate obd1 code readers for each brand of vehicle you owned. I looked at reviews of the adapter cable that connects your obd1 port to your new obd2 code reader and tons of people in the comments said that they wasted money, because their's don't work.
What is code one the web site you linked and the Hans manual dose not have a 1 only 11 and up I’ve gotten 2 codes for a 1. From my understanding of this
There is no “1” as far as I have read. If someone else wants to chime in, I’d be happy to hear. If you want to set up a quick 15 mins consulting session, you could record the codes, send it to me and we can go through it together. Let me know - there’s a contact form on my website.
My check engine light just stays on and doesn't flash I tried it several times. Unhooked the battery tested it again, tried with key turned forward first or hooking it up then turning the key forward nothing mattered...?
@@GirlieGarage Thank you, I found out that it would not give a check code because the module itself was bad. The first test flash it does is a system check and if it cannot perform that the module is compromised. Thank you again for the response I appreciate the feedback and help...
I have had 2 times a check engine light turns on but when the vehicle is turned off it never shows up again this just happens to me and the last one was like 2 months ago any idea of why??
@@GirlieGarage I ordered and EEC relay fuse and im gonna see if that fixes it, other than that I dont know what the problem is all other fuses look good.
Yup, except on that era, theres usually two single plugs at the diagnostic port, one is the self test, one is the hood light wire. if you jumper the wrong one it cooks the self test circuit in the ECM.
This is like learning to speak a secret language! Thanks for decoding them
مه Hello, how are you, can I send you a number and a note and say what is a problem in a car
My daughter is restoring a 94 Bronco. I’m directing her to your channel. Keep,up,the good work!
That's super cool! If she's on Instagram that's a good way for us to keep in touch as well (@ Girlie Garage)
Its been 20 some years since I regularly diagnosed OBD 1 cars. Even then i had a scan tool. Thanks for the refresher.👍

That is correct
Yeah mine is on the drivers firewall but the prong and test plug are the exact same. It’s at least worth a shot. Thanks for the reply!!
Let us know how it goes! You never know if you might help someone with the same question in the future!
You're a wealth of knowledge! Thank you!
Good exploration
Vary nice job
Thank you soooooo much maybe I can fix my 87 now!!! Thank you!!
Very helpful!
thanks for showing me how to locate my problem and fix it now it pass smog so thanks pretty girl keep smiling
Great job, so ubderstandable.
What if the check engine light turns off when I turn car off. What happens if the engine stays running?
Thanks so much!
❤very helpful
What if the engine like does not blink? 88 mercury grand marquis.
Anyone know if this would work with the 1988 ford ranger with the 2.9
Yes, give it a try
Does this do diesels? Cant figure out why my 1994 powerstroke is throwing a check engine. It’s an obd1 only.
If it does work for a diesel engine, where you would jump the pins is probably in a different place in the engine bay

Does the same Apply to Key on Engine on?

Maybe try a piece of wire or check the wiring at the service connector. It sounds like the pins aren’t talking to each other

that is super helpful feedback! Thank you for sharing and I hope your truck is happy again!
@@GirlieGarage Yep she is very happy. Thank you!
Does this only apply to when the check engine light is on while driving? Try to source an issue but my Check Engine light isnt on.
With OBDII the codes are stored. I don’t know if OBDI stores the codes. Did you find an answer?
I believe they do store I’m going to check mine as it has an intermittent engine light
I have had 2 times a check engine light turns on but when the vehicle is turned off it never shows up again this just happens to me and the last one was like 2 months ago any idea of why??
I did this on my 93 thunderbird LX and now my car wont start.
Sounds like you might have blown an ignition fuse (or a fuse vital to the ignition). I would start with fuses
@@GirlieGarage I ordered and EEC relay fuse and im gonna see if that fixes it, other than that I dont know what the problem is all other fuses look good.
What if my engine light don't work?
Then how would you know that you have codes in the first place? Maybe replace the bulb
How do I pull abs codes?
Sounds like that generation of Ford Ranger only has rear ABS and it’s a pretty simple system so I would check the forums based on your symptoms
You said one then another one and you called it 11 how do you know that,
that's not 2?
Because of the length of the pause
would a 1991 foxbody have this?
Google could probably help with that. My instinct says “yes”

@@CoxyRoller😮
it doesn't say what sensers may be at fault
You can potentially test sensors individually with a voltimeter
Link me to early Fords obd1 code
It’s in the video description
Wow whoever own these kind of vehicles I feel sorry you lol
This makes no since to me
What questions arise? Do you have a check engine light?
