If you are having any engine, transmission, or electrical issues, you definitely want to read your ECU codes. Here's how to do that on an OBDI F150
All fuel injected cars have ECUs, ECM, or some kind of computer controlled engine management system. The systems store fault codes when an issue is detected. These codes are stored in the “On Board Diagnostics” system or OBD. Cars pre-1996 had the OBD1 system and post-1996 cars have the OBD2 system. Since the OBD1 system is older and not as common these days, getting the codes read isn’t easy. Most auto parts stores don’t offer a free service to have OBD1 codes read. This means you have to purchase an OBD1 code reader. The one in this video is a great option for reading the OBD1 codes on Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury vehicles.

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.

Concerning the ODB1, you are spot on and made it look toooooo easy. Frankly never before had I used a reader and I had to read the instructions numerous times before completely understanding the process and procedure. Your video just completely tied up the loose ends for me. Thank you. ONE THING When I first hooked the reader up and plugged in I received no indication it was connected. Well come to discover the pins on the reader (two of them) had recessed into the reader itself and were only pultruding out of the reader say 1/8 of an inch. So be aware the quality of this reader has some issues. I place a drop of quick drying glue on the base of the finger and that did it for me.

@TheMinuteMasters 3 месяца назад

Absolutely! These are the most difficult code readers to use. It’s unfortunate that this is the only affordable reader and the quality is hit or miss.

@whiteknightcat 2 года назад

IMPORTANT: This particular tool is ONLY for Ford products. Innova makes a different model for GM products. They also produce more expensive models with a variety of adapters. Then there are REALLY expensive models that can be used with both OBD I and OBD II vehicles. Also, the test plug isn't on the drivers side on all vehicles. Explorers, for example, have the plugs located on the passenger side.

Case in point, my 1997 F350 with the 460 engine uses OBD1. It seems that these heavy duty trucks were exempt, up until, I think, somewhere abound 1989.

Hi Nice clean video, very helpful. So i got a 565 KOEO, also a 172 c reading...how did you fix the 565 (purge canister solenoid circuit)? I replaced the solenoid (which i later tested and it opened okay w/ a 6 v battery), then replaced the heated oxygen sensor then retested and got the same codes. Since the wires connect to harnesses and all look undamaged, how do you either test the circuit from the PCM computer to the sensor/solenoid?? PS the book said don't fix the c test code until you pass the first KOEO test. Also, the book doesn't explain what the c test is really testing or doing. Thank you sincerely, randy c

@TheMinuteMasters Год назад

Hi Randy, I’m not sure how I fix the 565 code. And I know in this video, I said, I got a clean read from the code reader. However, I have no explanation for how I got rid of that code, and to be honest, I don’t think it causes any issues. Somewhere in the comments, somebody said, Ford eliminated some engine function that required that solenoid purge valve, but never eliminated the valve. So it will always throw the code.

@tacoma1309 Год назад

Hi Thank you for the reply. Onto changing plugs and wires and dist. cap. And Motorcraft platinum plugs.

Seems like a common problem with this specific model. It can't communicate. Might be an issue with the port. Fuse was bad, I changed it, that isn't the issue. But at least that fuse is fresh now.

hey awesome video! Just finished replacing both parts on my 95 5.0 xlt. I followed this because i had multiple codes including a 332, plus hard shifting after long periods of driving and i think thats when it threw on the code 332 (check engine light would come on randomly). Anyways i started up my truck after replacing, and it was a very hard start. had to hold the key for about 5-10s. then it was running good, let it idle for a bit, then drove it for a bit. turned truck off and then started it back up, this time it started right away. then ran the code tester and still came up with some codes, including: 311 - thermactor air system/fault during engine run self test 334 - EGR closed, valve voltage high 225 - knock sensor fault during dynamic response test 212 - loss of ignition diagnostic monitor, signal/spout circuit gorunded Idk if all of those have to do with replacing it jut thought id mention them. Anyways i havent been able to drive it a long time yet so i really dont know if theres any/big issues, but just thought i could get the convo going of what may be causing those codes. Or if the codes just didnt get erased after the installment? Im not to sure how to do that still new to all of this. I did disconnect the (red) positive battery cable when replacing all of this tho. anyways any thoughts would be appreciated, thx! P.S. i also recently replaced all vacuum tubing and vacuum reservoir.

@TheMinuteMasters Год назад

The 311 in reference to the thermactor air system sound like a vacuum or sensor induced code. The thermactor valve is the one behind the driver’s side of the intake plenum. It has 2-3 vacuum lines connected to it. 334 - can be caused by a number issues, stuck EGR valve, malfunctioning EGR position sensor, lose of vacuum to the EGR. 225 - could be cause by not hitting the gas doing the test. 212 - is new to me. My advice is to go and internet search those codes for fixes, especially 311, 225, and 212. I fixed my 334 with new EGR valve and position sensor.

Great videos man. Quick question. I’ve got a 1995 f150 302 with obd1. It seems like it misfires at idle and it idle surges as well. It’s got a new tps sensor (motorcraft) and some other new bits. I ran the key on engine off test and got code 565 and then after got code 157 which is a Maf code. For some reason never got code 11 at the end after waiting a while but I proceeded. Previous owner replaced the Maf. Ran the engine on test and got code 998 which I’ve heard is limp mode and code 159 after. Another Maf code. Truck doesn’t seem to run any different when I unplug the Maf. Where would you start next? Possible bad computer? I know they are known to go bad. The capacitors that is.

@TheMinuteMasters Год назад

Thanks man!🤙 Idle issues are difficult to pin down unless you know the age of all the ignition parts. When was the last time spark plugs, wires, cap, and rotor were replaced? An easy test for a MAF is to start the truck get it warmed up. Leave it in park and rev the engine. If the MAF is working it should rev up and down just fine. If it stumbles and maybe stalls, the MAF is bad.

I got my Innovo Ford code reader in today along with the extension cable. Plugged the extension cable into the code reader and something just didn't feel right. Pulled the extension cable off the reader and noticed that the those broad, flat pins on the code reader had been pushed into the body. Now I'm a 78 year old former electronics tech so I know I didn't "muscle" the two together. I don't know if the female connectors on the cable were too tight or if the male pins on the reader body just weren't secured properly. They were pretty loose when I pulled them out with some needle-nose pliers. If the code reader body had been screwed together then I could have disassembled it and repaired the pins. But, it was glued together so back it went to Amazon. Someone mentioned an Actron 9690 code reader. I'll have to give that one a try. I'm afraid to reorder that Innovo Ford code reader.

@@TheMinuteMasters also on the obd1 scanner after you read the codes with the engine running you push your gas pedal just about half way and let up and it puts the pcm into a cyinder balance test it checks your fuel injectors and compression on your engine if you get a code 90 at the end of the test it passed and all your cylinders are contributing ok and your compression is fine any number other then 90 is bad

Hey! Thanks for making a video for this. I am doing this now because my truck will not start. Where can I go to find more information on the codes though? I have gotten the codes and am now trying to figure out what they mean and what needs to be fixed. I am thinking the main code which was 542 is the reason it is not starting because it is for the secondary fuel pump circuit (what that is I am not sure), the other is something about the egr valve not getting enough reading or something. I have tried searching but am getting so many different meaning other than what the book says my code is for, and I cant seem to find what exactly the secondary fuel pump circuit is!

@TheMinuteMasters Год назад

You’re welcome man!🤙 Honestly I just do a Google search to find the answer. I know it may seem like there’s a lot of conflicting information out there but you can typically narrow it down. For the EGR code use this video to diagnose👇 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-xWpqhdQH01Q.html For the fuel pump, I would check relays and fuses. Then I’d replace the fuel filter. Replacing the pumps should be your last move.

@60anthonyh 2 года назад

I have an intermittent problem with a 1995 4.9L manual. Every now and then, the truck will shudder, CEL will come on, and I will completely lose throttle response. Pedal to the floor, nothing. The truck begins coasting as if it's in neutral. Eventually it will slow down to the point that I'm almost stopped and the truck will shut off by itself. Sometimes it just shudders for a split second and then goes back to normal, but normally that's a sign that it's eventually going to shut itself down. Once the truck comes to a stop, it often will not start again, at least not immediately. It will crank and crank but no ignition. After cranking it every 30 seconds or so for a few minutes, it will fire back up like nothing happened. When the truck starts back up, the check engine light is off. I have a few questions. First, I'm pretty sure I have a vacuum leak somewhere (a/c defaults to defrost under acceleration, then comes back under light/no throttle). Could that possibly be related? Second, does anyone have any clue what the problem might be? And third, since the code disappears when the truck starts back up, do these trucks store codes that I would be able to read even if I'm not actively experiencing the problem, or would I have to just carry the scanner, and plug it in as soon as the truck shuts down?

@TheMinuteMasters 2 года назад

Interesting problem man. A don’t think a vacuum leak would cause this bad of an issue. However, you definitely want to fix the vacuum line connected to the blend door actuator. (Passenger side of engine bay near fire wall). Before we jump down my usual rabbit hole of diagnosing steps, I would buy a code reader and read the codes on your truck. Fault codes are stored in the ECM. So you don’t have to plug the code reader in as the problem is happening to get the code. Start there and then update me on what you find.🤙

So you plugged the code reader in, turn the truck on (leaving the engine off), turn the code reader on, and then hit the test button? You get the triangle/arrow showing you are connected and you get a square. If you followed those steps on that order and you aren’t getting anything, I would try it a couple of times. These are good code readers but I wouldn’t say they are the best. I ran a couple of tests and the reader said that my truck only had six cylinders when clearly it’s a V-8.
