Dumb Question?

Jan 29, 2007 2 Replies

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.
